Middleweight forklift truck delivery
July 1st 2007 Delta Design Systems has taken
delivery of Samuk Lift Truck's new
RY1612 middleweight forklift truck.
The new Samuk will be used to
unload high value diesel engines
and generators from curtainside
trailers, with an average load
valued at over £200,000. It was
selected for this application based
on the truck's ability to handle
goods of up to sixteen tonnes with
a load centre of 1,200mm. The
Samuk is also equipped with large
12.00 x 24" twin drive wheels. This
is said to offer over 50% additional
ground contact. The load rating of
these larger tyres mean they can
operate in this application at 80psi
- rather than 110psi - which helps
to further spread the load, reducing
the wear and tear of high cost
concrete surfaces as well as
providing a smoother ride.
Delta Design System's Samuk
features a Cummins QSB6.7, 205
hp six cylinder diesel engine,
driving the ZF171 transmission and
Kessler hub reduction drive axle
with disc brakes. More articles from Samuk Lift Trucks Limited: |
