Increase Efficiency – Being able to reach across to the far side of the truck can enable the driver to unload from one side. Whether in a narrow rural road or busy city street this can avoid having to turn the truck around saving a lot of valuable time.
Palfinger offer a number of ways to perform one side unloading within the different models.
FLC and F3 ranges use reachforks for an easy and lightweight oneside offload option.
Easy Operation using a spool lever the the driver extends the forks to reach the far side of the truck and lift the load.
The fork is then retracted to bring the load to the nearside.
Low deadweight – High lifting capacity to weight ratio. Far lighter than systems using a boom
Reach at Height – The amount of reach is the same at any height, enabling full reach on double stacked products and double decks (unlike a boom)
FLC and F3 253 GTS models use the Palfinger Scissor system for forward reach. Longer reach than competitve systems allows the Palfinger to use shorter forks being more nimble and a greater lift capacity when lifting from the near side.
Fast and Precise Action – Quicker and easier to use compared to a boom system
Standard Forks – Suited to handling one way and special Pallets
Longer reach with a shorter closed fork length, this is a good solution when used with 4 way steering models when the width of the forklift is important.
