Multi-purpose

A specially designed Sidetracker multi-direction reach truck with front-loading and side-loading capabilities is providing aluminium glazing contractor Colorminium with all-purpose handling capabilities at its site in Essex, reducing manual handling and boosting productivity.

It performs all load-carrying functions, including 6m-long stillages of aluminium profiles, steel box pallets, glass carriers, timber pallets and steel waste bins. It lifts loads 6m high, passes through a doorway 2550mm high x 1680mm wide and can be used to unload vehicles.

Its forks can be extended and spread hydraulically by the driver from 1350 to 2300mm in length and 300 to 1500mm wide. They can be tilted hydraulically between 2° upwards and 5° downwards, while the mast remains vertical.

The mast itself has an overall extended height of 6750mm and lift height of 6000mm.
