Edbro launch new range of skiploader and hooklift systems

Hydraulic truck-tipping hoist and waste-management equipment specialists Edbro have launched a new telescopic arm skiploader and a powerful, lightweight hooklift system, meeting modern requirements for increased productivity, optimum chassis utilization and maximum safety.

The MB14T telescopic arm skiploader provides a lift capacity of up to 14 tonnes, while the TH23 power hook provides a lift capacity up to 23 tonnes. Both offer a fast lift-off facility to reduce the lifting cycle.

Designed for use with 18-tonne  23 GVW chassis, the MB14T telescopic arm skiploader provides a lift capacity of up to 14 tonnes. Lightweight and fast operating, the MB14T skiploader provides side and front adjustable bin stops, giving it the flexibility to accommodate container sizes from 3.82m3 to 12.23m3 capacity, and base lengths from 1.83m to 2.31m. It offers independent and sequence arm control for increased flexibility in operation.

The compact, robust rear end design offers maximum protection for rear light clusters, increasing equipment durability in the most arduous and challenging waste-handling operations. For increased stability on uneven ground, the MB14T features independent jack legs, and both pivoted flat foot and roller options are available. Operator safety is assured through a range of protection features, including dead-man control for increased driver safety.

The skiploader offers ease of servicing, so users can be assured of ultimate long-term profitability throughout the lifetime of the equipment.

The TH23 power hook is a powerful, lightweight hooklift system designed for use with up to 32-tonne GVW chassis. Weighing in at 2,980kg, the lightweight design gives a high power to weight ratio, with the TH23 providing a maximum lift capacity of up to 23 tonnes, and a maximum tipping angle of 46 degrees. The fast lift facility reduces the lift cycle by as much as 33% compared with conventional equipment, dramatically increasing overall productivity. Further optimizing return on investment, the TH23 has been designed utilizing fewer moving components than typical alternatives, so increasing reliability, minimizing downtime and simplifying servicing.

The power hook is constructed from high strength steel to give the optimum combination of high durability and low weight. Large rear rollers ensure safe and accurate bin guiding, while the hook profile eliminates the possibility of bin dismount during operation. For increased safety, the fully interlocked design prevents misuse or out of sequence operation, and an in-cab warning system maximizes operator safety.
