DALBY hydraulic hooklifts to raise the roof at IAA Commercial Vehicles 2018

LONDON - Aug. 2, 2018 - PRLog -- DALBY (http://www.hooklift-dalby.com/) designs and manufactures hydraulic hooklifts for all types of 2 to 32-ton vehicle, roll-off containers, and container trailers for road transport and agriculture. The French leader in roll-off transport and handling equipment market will be exhibiting at IAA Commercial Vehicles 2018 (https://www.iaa.de/en/) in Hannover from 20^th -27^th September. They will be presenting a MAN truck fitted with a DALBY XHM3 hooklift.

Among the benefits of the XHM3 hooklift:

·         The sliding jib enables the handling and transport of a larger range of containers of different lengths.

·         Optimised weight

·         Excellent stability: the hooklift's height has been reduced. Its centre of gravity is lower, thus improving the overall stability.

·         Improved visibility: the hooklift's structure has been refined.

·         Longevity and durability

-          Engineering: improved robustness by casting parts (jib hook, articulations, rear hydraulic locking, container supports of tipping frame, rear rollers…).

-          Hydraulics: excellent reliability by using bigger pipe diameters and reduction of connections.

·         Easy to maintain

-          Pneumatic and mechanical parts are simplified and integrated into the hooklift's structure and are easily accessible

-          In-cab pneumatic control box

-          Parts coated with anti-rust coating

-          Number of greasing points reduced

Through its vast distribution and services network built up over the past 40, DALBY offers its customers a comprehensive range of equipment for roll-off containers designed for efficiency, simplicity, reliability and cost effectiveness, and assembled in its own manufacturing sites and workshops.

Stuart Crowther, CEO at Powertec Vehicle Engineering Ltd (http://www.powertecltd.com/) (distributor for the UK market):

"DALBY offers me, as UK dealer, a perfect support for sales but also after-sales thanks to professional dedicated team"
This sentiment is confirmed by its customer J.B Schofield (http://www.jbschofieldandsons.co.uk/), one of the foremost scrap metal buyers and sellers in the UK, which has been recycling since 1876: "After testing several brands of hook lifts with lifetimes of more or less 5 years, we were very happy to discover the DALBY brand. Our oldest arm still works perfectly after 8 years! Having a local distributor bringing all the necessary service for the maintenance of this equipment is another undeniable advantage".
