Specialist Stone Delivery

Self Unload Stone Deliveries....

Self unloading is often required by customers of specialist stone whether a building site with no forklift available or a private address.  

The self unloading method may encounter further problems such:
 
- Restricted Access e.g. narrow driveway
- Offroad surfaces  e.g. wet building site
- Rough surfaces e.g. gravel
- Gradients

Heavy Stone Pallets are easy to handle with a Palfinger

Problems with Tail-lift and pallet truck

Limitations of Crane Delivery

• Difficult to keep below the HSE Manual Handling guidelines of 20kg starting force and 10kg force to keep the pallet truck rolling.
• Need to get truck close to delivery point
• Restricted to smooth surfaces

• Can only deliver to where the lorry can be driven
• Not possible to deliver along narrow driveways
• Building site deliveries can result in vehicles getting stuck or vehicle damage
• Can't use curtainsided trucks for advertising
  
  

Deliver away from the truck and up narrow driveways

No Manual handling - The Palfinger takes all the strain, lifting and moving the heaviest pallets of stone from the truck  to the delivery point.

Oneside Unloading  - When unloading in restricted areas (e.g. single track road) the Palfinger can reach across the bed  to unload the truck from one side.
