Fast lifting of heavy loads through a complete circle is the claim of Telehoist Ltd for the Foca 6000 hydraulic lorry-loader which the firm has recently introduced.
Three levers give precise control of all movements and there are dual controls to give the operator an unimpeded view of operations on either side of the vehicle. Two additional valves are fitted to serve crane accessories and two doubleacting hydraulic support legs give stability during loading.
The 6000 model can lift 8,800lb with the jib at 6ft 7in. and 2,6001b at 16ft 5in. The jib can be extended to reach 18ft 4in. above its chassis frame and 7ft 7in. below ground level.
It is claimed that loads can be lifted as fast as 4ft a second and jib extensions can be made at 3ft per second.
