Twin transmission boosts lift truck performance
Three-wheel lift trucks and sideloaders are now available with two drive wheels, giving 50 per cent more torque and better balance than standard models and offer multi-direction manoeuvrability.
The 2.5-tonne maximum lift capacity of most existing reach trucks severely limits their use with double-deep stacked loads, so counter-balance trucks requiring wider aisles are commonly used for this application.
The load capacities of the new Sidetracker models enable them to lift the second pallets in double-deep applications, weighing up to 1500kg, while operating in narrower aisles than counter-balance trucks.
Models are available with lift capacities from three to six tonnes and lift heights up to ten metres with single, duplex or triplex masts.
All the trucks are three-wheel models with a choice of drive and load wheels to suit different applications.
The trucks are powered by twin electro-hydraulic power units that automatically run singly or together to suit demand.
High-torque hydrostatic transmission systems are suitable for use outdoors in wet or dry conditions and are overload protected, with infinitely variable speed control.
Forks are available in various specifications, including a choice of manual or fully synchronised hydraulic spread.
