Lifting equipment and accessories

Does SolidHub offer devices with initial stroke or free stroke?

At this time, SolidHub does not offer equipment with initial lift - a feature that raises the truck's wheel arms to provide additional ground clearance during load pickup and transport. However, we do have models in our line that have free lift. This feature allows the forks or load to be lifted without changing the overall height of the lift mast. An example of this is our HEF16/5 product.

Why is only one LED light of the charging bar illuminated at my HE1200/3?

The HE1200/3 displays only one charge bar even at maximum battery charge. As the charge decreases, this bar moves to the left. The last two turn red. As soon as this range is reached, the device should be charged to avoid deep discharge.

What is meant by a side lift on forklifts and what is its benefit?

A side lift enables the forks of a forklift truck to be moved parallel to the operator's cab. This function facilitates precise alignment of the forks on pallets, especially in tight spaces or when the pallet is directly against a wall. This allows the forks to be easily moved to the left or right without moving the entire forklift. Most SolidHub forklift models are equipped with this useful feature as standard.

Does the forklift have a fork adjustment?

Yes, each of the SolidHub forklifts has a fork adjustment. This can be done manually.

Which battery technology is ideal for industrial transport equipment?

Although lead-acid batteries and lead-gel batteries are widely used in electromobility and transport equipment, lithium-ion technology offers numerous advantages. It is characterized by shorter charging times, higher energy density and freedom from maintenance. In addition, a lithium-ion battery is more resistant to deep discharge, which can be particularly crucial in outdoor applications.

For which forklifts are the fork extensions suitable?

The 60 % rule applies to fork extensions. This means that at least 60% of the fork extension must rest on the actual forks of the forklift truck. Before purchasing, check whether the forks of your forklift truck have the corresponding dimensions. 

What is the difference between open and closed fork extensions?

The term "open" or "closed" describes the nature of the underside of a fork extension. In the case of open fork extensions, there is no metal under the fork and therefore they do not enclose the forks of the forklift. This can cause the extensions to lever upward if care is not taken. Closed fork extensions are therefore safer by reducing the potential for accidents.

How are the fork extensions secured?

The fork extensions are secured with a pin, which is fixed behind the forks by a split pin. This prevents the forks from slipping down.

Does the tipping skip return to the starting position by itself?

No. The tipping skip must be tipped back manually after successful emptying until the lever secures the container again.

Where do the devices come from and who is the manufacturer?

The equipment comes from a global component purchase and is manufactured by TOPREGAL.

Does the dump truck return to its original position by itself?

No. The dump truck must be tipped back by hand after successful emptying until the lever secures the container again.

Is the dump truck emptied automatically when the lever is operated?

No, operating the lever on the dump truck only activates the tipping mechanism. The actual tipping movement of the container must be done manually.
