Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Hyva claims its N62012 TA was the first hook loader to feature independently adjustable, telescoping arms, but they are now a popular feature on many models because they make handling easier in areas where access is tight.

Other Hyva features Include a large diameter torsion bar and the choice of no top bar or removable top bar to enable skips to be stacked. There is also a knuckle arm version which stows lower to allow access in restricted height locations.

Hyva's automatic safety hook opens by gravity as the hook's ram extends to pick up a container so there is no need for drivers to touch the mechanism. Mid-chassis rollers allow containers to be handled without metal on metal contact.

Hyva has also extended its range with two lightweight hook loaders, the 6-37 and 4-32, with lift capacities of 6.0 and 4.0 tonnes respectively, and aimed at municipal vehicles in the 3.5-10 tonne WAY range.

Palfinger is best known for its lorry loaders, but importer TN White has also been selling Palift hook loaders in the UK since 1996 and will have a wider product range now that Palfinger has bought Guima. the French company said to be the world's second largest hook loader manu

facturer. The latest models include a low-profile unit, the Palift 122, which reduces the height of the installation by 195mm, lowering the overall height and thus permitting taller, higher cubic capacity; and the NI 18, once of three models with carrying capacities from 3.0-28.00 tonnes. Safety features include an interlock system that prevents the thrust cylinder operating when the frame is raised and hydraulic container locks that secure the containers during transit.

Multilift is the skip and hook loader specialist in the Partek Cargotec group. Earlier this year it unveiled a new Skiploader model designed to speed turnround times. It can pick up a container horizontally with no lift angle and can lift over obstacles such as fences. Skip handling is easier thanks to a gooseneck lifting arm construction. Two angled Individually controllable support legs Increase stability and there is a choice of dual or individual control of telescopic arms.
