Forklift News - BOLZONI-AURAMO LAUNCHES NEW HOOK-ON SIDESHIFTER

BOLZONI-AURAMO has always been market leader in the field of the hook-on sideshifters, accepted and fitted not only by forklift dealers but approved and fitted as original equipment by many OEMs.

Traditionally, sideshifters produced by Bolzoni-Auramo have had a very positive response from market due to the care put into combining excellent engineering, simplicity of installation and rugged construction.

The new Model HN shows significant improvements over its predecessors:
• VISIBILITY is improved by 21% and represents a benchmark in the field;
• Care has been devoted to designing the UPPER BAR which integrates the mobile upper hook and the fork carriage bar in one single piece;

This very compact design allows:
• 9% lower weight than the previous model;
• extremely robust construction;
• Lost load and centre of gravity equivalent to the previous model;
• UPPER SLIDING PADS with increased thickness for longer life. This feature is enhanced by the fact that the pads slide on a polished surface, and by the presence of greasers. The pads are completely protected from water and dirt;
• The LOWER PADS are also thicker and equipped with greasers;
• The new adjustable lower hooks have an innovative design to allow safe and easy fitting;
• The hook has a slot to allow vertical adjustment to compensate pad wear and is coupled to the sideshifter frame on a "sloped" surface which keeps it in the fixed position;
• Installation is made even easier thanks to the handling hook fixed to the upper bar;
• The CYLINDER, with double rod, allows an equal sideshifting speed in both directions. It can be completely disassembled for easy maintenance at low cost.
