The First B50MP Manufactured

Lencrow is anticipating the arrival of the first 5t all terrain forklift model from Bomaq Industries this week. The Australian market will be the first to experience the new B50MP ever produced. The new B50MP Series all-terrain forklift is the new revolution delivering better rugged performance and improved manoeuvrability and sophisticated ergonomics. Up until now we have only had the choice of large, cumbersome 5000kg forklifts or light duty versions with a 500mm load centre that were smaller and unable to lift to expectations. Now you can choose a true compact 4WD 5000kg @ 600mm load centre forklift that will out-turn and out-lift even the smallest forklifts. The turning circle on the new B50MP weighs in at 3280mm. This makes it a perfect match for construction sites allowing operators to utilise and maximise all working spaces. This has the added bonus of reducing wear and tear on tyres doubling their life span. This is made possible by the rear axle using two hydraulic drive motor in the wheels this also reduces the noise created through the drive train and has no axle wind up which reduces the life of the final drives and reduces the power to the wheels. Normal differential axles are limited to 42deg of steering while the wheel motors are not limited. See the B50MP in Action!

Unique Rear Axle Design

The new B50MP is powered by a Perkins 62kw diesel engine (standard fit) producing ample power for any terrain. The top speed of 24km/h makes it suitable for larger work sites. This combined with a maximum gradeability of 30% fully loaded makes this a limitless option for any workplace. The B50MP size is impressive for the capacity the total length without forks is only 3750mm and a width of 1950mm and will go through a 2300mm door way. The unit could be a cross trainer as it works just as well on sealed surfaces which is the opposite of many 4WD units. All the Bomaq range is designed for the operator, with a standard semi cabin offering easy entry as well as high visibility Fatigue is reduced in the ergonomic cabin with full adjustments allowable to suit any operator. The forklift is fitted with a 120L fuel tank perfect for longer hours of operation between refuelling. Another feature in the Bomaq range includes standard side shift and 4th hosed to the front carriage making changing attachments easy.
