Haulotte improves vertical access platform safety

French access manufacturer Haulotte is adding the Star6 to its vertical mast access range. The machine joins the larger Sta8 and Star10 launched last year, with new AC motors delivering smoother performance. A larger platform is included and Haulotte has added forklift slots in the side of the machine for easier movement.

New vertical mast model from Haulotte
French access manufacturer 712 Haulotte is adding the Star6 to its vertical mast access range. The machine joins the larger Sta8 and Star10 launched last year, with new AC motors delivering smoother performance. A larger platform is included and Haulotte has added forklift slots in the side of the machine for easier movement. With three-stage hydraulic lift rams there is no requirement for chains or cables, so no regular maintenance of the lift mechanism.

The Star lifts are among the first machines to feature Haulotte’s ACTIV diagnostic screen, built into the base structure of the platform. ACTIV is to be fitted as standard across the platform range, with ACTIV 2 on larger models.

    The skid steer loader has for many years been known as a jack-of-all-trades. Indeed the term loader can be a bit misleading, as a skid steer is far more than simply a digging or lifting machine. Skid steers, and their more recent compact tracked loader stablemates, are the original powered tool carriers. They are designed to work with a host of attachments, not just a bucket or pallet forks. However while this concept of one base machine and a multitude of attachments has been a big success in North America

    The crushing and screening sector has seen a flurry of new model launches in recent months, with a series of new equipment introductions - Mike Woof writes. Crushing and screening systems play a vital role in the overall cost effectiveness of a quarrying operation. Ensuring that a quarry runs efficiently relies heavily on the appropriateness of the entire crushing and screening set-up for the material input, the output grades and the compatibility of each separate unit. Mobility has been a key issue in rece
