Telescopic tip
fast and strong
Our hook lifts use a telescopic tipping function, which makes our tipping function fast and strong.
Flexible weight distribution
Our hook lifts have telescopic towers to be compact and agile, with the ability to adjust their weight transfer to the tractor. At the same time as they can take long containers and have a smooth switching process
TELESCOPIC SHIFT SYSTEM
Low own weight
Our telescopic shifting system provides geometric advantages with great power distribution, which gives our hook lifts a low dead weight and a fast and strong progression.
Maneuverability and efficiency
We laser align our BPW axles for optimal compliance, reduced tire wear and fuel consumption. It is proven in independent studies that our system has approx. 25% less fuel consumption and approx. 50% lower soil compaction compared to conventional systems.
Safety
We use a hydraulic safety support beam at the rear that can be pushed into the ground when shifting for reduced negative force on the tractor. We recommend that the safety support beam is 10 cm above the ground when shifting so that you can roll during the shifting process. When the container touches the rollers, the wheels are compressed and the beam reaches the ground when the negative force is the greatest.
Accessibility
Our focus on agriculture has meant that over the years we have developed a construction that enables really large wheels within the legal width
Comfort and stability
Leveling of the chassis right/left side 35cm possible from the driver's cab. This enables greater safety and better geometry when shifting and working on slopes.
Our hydraulic axle suspension with communicating vessel technology provides a wide base and a stable ride.
Low chassis height
Stable and efficient shifting
The lower a hook lift is, the better the geometry for changing containers. At Metsjö, we are masters at building our trailers low.
Maximized maneuverability
Rear steering axle is standard on our larger wagons, the axle straightens when you put pressure on it. Front steering axle can be added.
You can upgrade the steering to manual forced steering, where you can force the axle with the tractor's hydraulic controls.
Or upgrade to fully automatic steering that acts proportionally to the trailers speed.
