Focus on safety

Briggs Equipment the UK's national Cat Lift Truck distributor and service provider, has launched a new 4 - 5.5t lift truck that, it says, has been designed to be the safest in its class.

The new DP/GP 40 - 55 includes a fully floating powertrain that reduces vibration, increasing comfort and protecting the truck from undue wear and tear. A low-level air intake and a system that routes the exhaust out through a counterbalance reduces the perceived noise levels.

Other features include electronic push button parking brake and a reversing handle horn positioned so the operator can hold their rear viewing position more easily.

Obstacles have ben removed from the footwell, making it easier for operators to climb in and out.
