FH 6.28 compact telehandler

Italian telehandler specialist Faresin has updated its compacts to improve the comfort and safety of the operator, increase fuel efficiency and make service and maintenance easier. The new compacts will be available at the end of the year.

The FH 6.28 and FH 7.30 now feature functions that were only available in Farsein's larger machines. Changes have been made to the machines' boom, chassis design, engine layout and wheelbase.

Faresin has lowered the bonnet on both models to improve operator visibility. The chassis is now stronger and distributes stress more evenly. The arms' suspension system has been redesigned to absorb shocks more effectively on rough terrain.

The compacts' wheelbase has been to increase stability and fuel consumption will be reduced because of the new lower operating weight. The radiator is located at the front and in line with the engine. The engine has been rotated 180 degrees for improved cooling and access for service and maintenance.

The machines are also easier to operate with the two-button joystick with crossover movement, and rollers to control the extension and retraction of the boom.
