Hoist Liftruck has sold a 52,000-pound P-Series Ro-Ro liftruck to Ceres Marine Terminals in Baltimore. This marks the first P-Series Ro-Ro sold since Hoist introduced the forklift in June.
The 52,000-pound forklift will be built on a 170-inch wheelbase with a 48-inch load center and feature: Cummins 8.3L diesel engine; Dana 32,000 transmission; AxleTech heavy-duty drive axle; wet-disc brakes; fully-enclosed cab with air-ride seat; removable counterweight; electronic hydraulic controls; easy-access service points; and RemoteTech
® vehicle diagnostics system.
"We are extremely excited to work with Ceres on their equipment needs," says Marty Flaska, owner of Hoist Liftruck. "We feel confident that the P-Series Ro-Ro will become a workhorse for Ceres not only in Baltimore, but also Ceres locations around the United States and worldwide."
Delivery of the P-Series Ro-Ro is scheduled for early August.
The entrance into the port, intermodal and breakbulk industries isn't a new venture for Hoist Liftruck. The company was formed from the acquisition of Brooklyn, New York-based Silent Hoist & Crane, which was one of the pioneers of material handling equipment for American ports more than 80 years ago. Silent Hoist & Crane heavy-duty forklifts and container handlers could be seen at all the ports along the east coast, and paved the way for other manufacturers and innovative equipment.
Hoist Liftruck is re-entering the market with a new generation of equipment with the pneumatic P-Series liftruck (22,000 lbs. - 100,000+ lbs.), the new P-Series Ro-Ro liftruck and the new empty container handlers, which will be available Fall 2007. Hoist Liftruck's cushion-tire line of liftrucks - internal combustion Titan and FKS series and electric Lazer Series - are also ideal for various indoors applications.
Hoist Liftruck Mfg., Inc. manufactures heavy-duty lifting products, ranging in capacity from 6.7 tons to 50 tons. Hoist Liftruck manufactures electric, LPG, and diesel cushion tire trucks, platform and die trucks, LPG and diesel pneumatic tire truck and marina pneumatic trucks. Hoist Liftrucks are engineered for the speed, power, and durability required of any heavy industry. With more than 100 years of proven reliability and quality engineering, Hoist provides the preferred lift truck for performance, serviceability and operator comfort.
