Sometimes it has to be a tiller truck
Sometimes it has to be a tiller tiller truck! For example, for DEUTZ Motoren: An electric high-lifter by Genkinger made for DEUTZ Motoren transports engines from the plate conveyor to the assembly station and from there to the lifting- and lowering system of the paint shop. The weights of the traditional air-cooled 12-cylinder Diesel engine range from 280 kg to 1.600 kg. Annually, thousands of DEUTZ engines are overhauled at the site in Ulm, each within a few working days. The custom high lift truck replaced a large standard forklift with a cantilever cross beam. Advantage: Mores space and and safety in the confined space. With dimensions of 1,000 mm wide x 1,800 mm long x up to 3,000 mm high when the mast is extended, the required compactness was achieved. With only 600mm Genkinger the crane traverse could be kept small. And not only that: the service effort was also reduced.
