Truck Specialists go telescopic with three state-of-the-industry skip loaders
Cheshire-based Truck Specialists - UK distributor for the Italian-built ATIB lift range of hooklifts from 3 to 30 tonnes lift capacity - has expanded its product range with the addition of three telescopic-arm skip loaders, the SLT4, SLT8 and SLT13 suitable for vehicles from 7.5 to 18 tonnes GVW.According to the company, the UK skip loader market has lately been favouring telescopic-arm skip loaders over the traditional fixed-arm designs, on account of their added flexibility. All ATIB lift skip loaders feature independent telescopic arms and a short rear overhang to aid manoeuvrability.
One of the first ATIB lift skip loaders to go into service - an SLT13 mounted on a Volvo FL6 - has recently entered service with Leeds-based Aero Waste Disposal, working out of its Armley transfer station.
ATIB lift hookloaders are finding favour in the wood recycling industries and Truck Specialists has just supplied a second AT18 hooklift to Arden Wood Shavings, mounted on a MAN TGA26-390.
This unit operates with a drawbar trailer and collects raw material from sawmills throughout the country, returning it to Arden Wood Shaving's processing facility at Hampton in Arden.
