Counterbalanced trucks
For tough dock applications or complete dock-to-stock needs, the new models 4100 and 4200 stand-up counterbalanced lift trucks incorporate a three-wheel design to provide a smaller turning radius for greater maneuverability and easier handling in tight spaces, including narrow aisle situations. For dock applications, the model 4100 totes loads weighing 3,000 or 3,500 pounds. The model 4200 for warehouse systems and other high-productivity applications handles loads from 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. The trucks offer quick disconnect couplings for attachments, making it easier to change from forks to a drum clamp, a slipsheet attachment and other combinations. When switching attachments, the anti-drip, no-leak valves eliminate hydraulic fluid spills. ...more
