Middleweight forklift truck delivery
June 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
per cent 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 Systems' Samuk
RY1612 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: |
