Metsjö launches new hook-lift combination with 50 m³ transport capacity

Ivarssons i Metsjö AB is introducing a completely new combined container and hook-lift solution: a 50 cubic meter container designed for the medium-sized hook-lift trailer MetaFlex 50–65. With a total height under 4 meters and a width of 2.55 meters, it offers a combination of high legal capacity and efficient transport. The combination has an unladen weight of only 8,600 kg and is intended for transporting agricultural products and bioenergy materials such as wood chips.

The new hook-lift combination is equipped with a hydraulically extendable underrun protection system with integrated lighting, approved according to current EU standards. Together with the container, the vehicle meets the dimensional requirements of less than 4 meters in height and 2.55 meters in width, with 600/50 22.5 wheels. The total length of the hook-lift trailer with the container fully retracted is 8.36 meters, resulting in a short and compact vehicle. The combination has been carefully designed so that a standard tractor can make full turns, and a low turning radius can be achieved thanks to steering front and rear axles. The telescopic tower ensures effective weight transfer to the tractor.

Flexible control

The hook-lift trailer can be operated via LS with ISOBUS, radio, or the tractor’s standard hydraulics. This provides great operational flexibility and allows the solution to be adapted to different customer needs.

Low weight – high strength

The low own weight is made possible by Metsjö’s unique telescopic cylinder technology and a container construction in Hardox 450, which combines wear resistance with long service life. The tipping angle is up to 60 degrees.

Smart functions: The container’s tailgate has a wide 130-degree opening angle and can also be equipped with hydraulic covering for easy and safe handling.

Stability and comfort

As standard, the hook-lift combination is equipped with hydraulic suspension, where the chassis is lowered onto the axles for optimal geometry.
