HOIST have launched their new Empty Container Handler series, which stack a variety of ISO containers from 4- to 8-high using a standard empty container attachment or side-post attachment.
The attachments also extend/retract to lift 20-, 40- and 53- foot containers.
Hoist also incorporates their advanced CANbus technology to ensure safe handling with its twistlock safety system that ensures each twistlock is engaged and secured before the container can be moved.
According to the company, warning lights and message on the digital display inside the cab warn the operator if the twistlocks are not engaged and secured, and prevent the operator from moving the vehicle until the twistlocks are fully engaged and the container is secured.
The advanced modular design on the Hoist ECH allows for containerised shipping and reduced setup time that can save a customer as much as 25% on shipping and setup costs.
The modular design also provides efficient serviceability, with bolt-on assemblies for easy part replacement.
According to the company, the unique Hoist ECH mast features a rigid inner mast and telescoping outer, which reduces torsional stresses and increases durability.
The wide-view mast with nested cylinders, coupled with a high-position cab and angled overhead glass, provides the operator with superior visibility.
