JCB introduces smallest ever Loadall
Rocester, United KingdomJCB will showcase its smallest Loadall telehandler, the 515-40 model, at IOG Saltex from 7-9 September.
The new model, which is 1.8 metres high, 2.97 metres long and weighs less than 3.5 tonnes, has a patented chassis design. JCB says it challenged conventional design concepts to develop the offset, single-spine chassis with the machine's cab then occupying the resulting space.
Equipped with a 50hp Deutz engine, the JCB 515-40 can handle a 1,500kg payload at a 4-metre lift height. JCB says the telehandler is suitable for commercial growers, garden centres and nurseries, and can perform many on-site tasks, which previously required several different machines.
 Jungheinrich's new "Under Pallet Carrier" |
Jungheinrich's new pallet carrier
Hamburg, GermanyJungheinrich is launching a new pallet carrier, the "Under Pallet Carrier" (UPC), for deployment in compact shuttle storage systems.
Shuttle systems enable storage in highly compact channel racking systems. This is made possible by autonomous load shuttles which load pallets into rack channels on their own.
Jungheinrich already produces an "In Pallet Carrier" (IPC). The IPC loads pallets onto its own forks and can be easily docked onto reach trucks, counterbalance trucks or narrow-aisle trucks. This is suitable for short channels and order picking. In contrast, the UPC is mainly for storage systems that employ long channels that need to be continuously filled and emptied.
Any conventional forklift with sufficient residual lifting capacity can serve as the carrier truck for the IPC and UPC.
