Improved Hydro M launched
The Hydro M Drive marine forklift line, developed in the US, has expanded with increased capacities up to 52,000 lbs and larger, alongside shorter wheelbase options to accommodate more marinas globally.
Owner of the technology, Wisconsin-based Marine Travelift, stated that the upgraded equipment enables improved mobility and manoeuvrability, offering customers lower maintenance costs and increased precision and efficiency.
“The Marine Travelift forklift product line has us extremely excited right now because of the numerous upgrades that have been applied just in the past year alone,” said Dale Harris, Marine Travelift distributor. “My team and I are now able to offer more than two times as many capacity and wheelbase options to our customers, which meets the growing demands of marinas all across the industry.”
The company said the redesign of its easy-access engine compartment and its other upgrades meet the productivity standard that customers demand.
Harris added: “Whether it be a capacity upgrade to handle bigger vessels, a design upgrade to lower customer maintenance costs, or a component upgrade to stay on the cutting edge of technology, these upgrades are always exciting for us because it allows us to offer features and benefits that no one else can provide.”
The hydrostatic drive system was first introduced by Marine Travelift in the mid-1990s.
