Self Unload Stone Deliveries....
Self unloading is often required by customers of specialist stone whether a building site with no forklift available or a private address.
The self unloading method may encounter further problems such:
- Restricted Access e.g. narrow driveway
- Offroad surfaces e.g. wet building site
- Rough surfaces e.g. gravel
- Gradients

Self unload with a Palfinger Crayler
The Palfinger truck mounted forklift is independent to the truck. Therefore the truck can be parked in the most convenient place and then the forklift driven to the delivery point.
Access all areas...
The Palfinger truck mounted forklift can access narrow driveways and offroad surfaces to place the pallet of stone exactly where required |
|
 |
|
|
Deliver away from the truck and up narrow driveways
|
 |
|
No Manual handling - The Palfinger takes all the strain, lifting and moving the heaviest pallets of stone from the truck to the delivery point.
Oneside Unloading - When unloading in restricted areas (e.g. single track road) the Palfinger can reach across the bed to unload the truck from one side.
