The simplest and safest way to move produce around farm sheds and yards is now with a Liftsmart rough terrain forklift – offering lift capacities up to 5 tonnes and a lift height up to 6m
The Liftsmart range of rough terrain forklifts are quickly gaining a place on farms as a “go anywhere, lift and carry anything” handler.
These models are replacing smaller tractors because they can simply get around sheds and yards much quicker and as a result get through more work each day, and above all are very safe for the operator to handle.
The economical Liftsmart models are reliable high-performance forklifts available in both 2WD and 4WD.
These models are built to navigate a wide variety of rugged terrains in paddocks, as well as being well suited for tight yard and shed jobbing.
The Liftsmart range offers several model configurations to match any farm jobbing work as required, with the most popular farm choices offering lift capacities from 2500kg (2.5T) up to 5000kg (5T).
With maximum lift heights up to 6000mm (6m) you can see how versatile these handlers are and can be assured they’re capable of handling even the most challenging farm jobbing tasks.
There has been a great deal of satisfied feedback from farm customers taking on a rough terrain forklift handler for, the first time.
Adaptalift Group’s Rockhampton Qld based Sales Manager Phill Hearnexplained why he believes the Liftsmart is so well suited for farm operation, “The Liftsmart RT’s standard lift height of 4.5m is ideal for my farming and agriculture customers.
“As it allows them to safely lift large bags of fertiliser and other products and empty them into large hoppers as required.
Phill Hearn also highlights the inclusive advanced safety features all units are fitted with as being another one of the ranges key selling advantages, even preferred over well-known tractor badges.
Phill said, “Safety in the farming, construction and mining industries is paramount to any application a forklift such as this rough terrain model will be used.
“Liftsmart’s RT range has advanced safety features to ensure the operator will be safe working throughout the day, regardless of rough terrain or tight shed and yard jobbing.
“Safety advantages include an operator presence seat and seat belt application to ensure the operator is safely seated and buckled up while operating the forklift.
“In addition, there are the Side and Forward incline meters that show the operator at a glance the work safe parameters. This is an ideal safety advantage when they have to operating on inclines and around ramps or unlevel heaps on the job site.
Phill is often surprised at the number of tasks operators put their Liftsmart RT through.
“Some of the regular jobbing work currently includes a wide variety of applications with the most popular being for hay bale stacking, loading and unloading fertiliser bags and farm supplies.
“The more adventurous operators also use the RT’s for the carriage and transport of any farm equipment and vehicle, and obviously these handlers are ideal for managing any work in tight or hard to access areas.
“From running along fence lines for repairs and taking away old material, to the first vehicle to meet any farm deliveries, and getting any livestock or farm equipment out of bogs or transported to where they need to be, this is the ideal handler,” Phill added.
