TELEHOIST Ltd, manu facturer of bodies and tippin, gear, is showing the bigges container-handling system th, company has yet made a Earls Court.
Known as the CH Ten-0 Load Lugger, it is designed fo the handling of containers o up to 30.6cu m (40cu yd capacity.
It is also the first Loa( Lugger to depart from Tele hoist's usual lever arm systerr in which the containers ar( raised and lowered through ar arc. The recommended maxi, mum load for the system 15.24 tonnes (15 tons).
Each arm is powered by a 152mm (Gin) diameter bore hydraulic ram, the hydraulic power being supplied by a tandem gear pump.
The frame and structure are manufactured from hightensile steel and the bed is 2.09m (6ft 10in) wide. The internal dimensions of the standard containers are 5.79m x 1.98m x 2.64m deep (19ft x 6ft 61n x 8ft 8in) although the new system can also handle containers from the CH401, 501 and 801 Load Luggers.
According to Telehoist, it can also handle any container designed for similar machines made by other manufacturers.
The overall height of the boom arm above the chassis frame in the travelling position is 3.33m (10ft 1 lin) using the 0.6cu m (40cu yd) container vith the chains tight. The naximum width between the )ooms is 2.13m (7ft) and the werall length of the Load ,ugger is 6.15m (20ft 2in).
Another first timer from felehoist at Earls Court is 3reaselube, an automatic greasing system for commerial vehicle chassis.
Air operated and working 1.-om a 24V electrical system, it delivers metered shots of grease at a pressure of 690-830kN/sqm (100-120psi), covering up to 150 chassis lubrication points in a pressure phase cycle of 90 seconds.
The specially developed grease for the system is stored in a disposable canister which screws to the Greaselube pump. Within this canister 1150cc (2 pints) of grease are stored in a rubber sac which is claimed to prevent the ingress of dirt and air.
The heart of the delivery system is a solid-state electronic timer with a built-in memory. It gives regular greasing shots when the vehicle ignition is on. Telehoist claims that a six-wheeler engaged in typical commercial work should require a replacement canister about twice a year.
