Operator Safety & Ease of Use Feature Videos

The Safe speed option features automated speed control based on the weight of the load. It builds on Hiab’s intelligent LoadBoost™ system with protective damping.

• Loading speed is adjusted to the weight of the load for maximum speed without compromising safety
• End of movement is always damped and smooth
• Protects the hooklift and the truck reducing any risk of misuse

NB Option requires basic or advanced display so that LoadBoost may be switched off when e.g. light containers need to be handled slowly and with very high accuracy.

Slope detection both warns and prevents the loading cycle if the lateral tilt is at such an angle that it creates a dangerous situation for the equipment, surroundings or operator.

• The operator receives a warning whenever the lateral tilt is too much.
• The operation will be stopped if the lateral tilt is too much.
• Thanks to PLC control thresholds are easily adjustable in Multilift Service with Service Tool Default warning threshold 2° Default alarm threshold 5° (prevents tipping up)

An extra safety feature for hooklifts with pneumatic latch that saves valuable time and minimizes the risk of dropping a container:

• Automatic opening when middle frame is turned towards the back
• Automatic closing when middle frame is lifted up
• Opening/closing angle is configurated during installation. It can also be changed by service operator.

NB: The feature requires pneumatic safety latch hook type

The main ram protection eliminates pressure peaks during the loading/unloading operation and prevents buckling of the main cylinders:

• When moving the container from the hooklift onto either a trailer or a platform, the truck remains stationary and the container is pushed by the hooklift
• If some obstacle restricts the movement, the hooklift will stop and the operator can easily retract the main cylinders to remove the obstacle and then safely retry transferring the container

Automatic tipping mode combines tipping and sliding and allows the driver to tip goods closer to the ground:

• Possible to position the container end as close to the ground as possible during tipping
• Sliding distance is pre-set during installation
• One button/joystick controls the entire operation

Remove risks and increase your safety with MULTILIFT's short container loading. The system automatically senses the length of the container and stops it from falling of the rollers or hitting objects such as a crane placed behind the cabin.

• Removes the risk of pulling short container too far front and dropping it from rear rollers
• Prevents collision with a crane mounted behind cabin
• No need for any counterparts to containers
• Operator knows the exact length of the container
• Length information can be used to stop sliding at correct position (manually by user or automatically)
• Determine the need to engage underrun bar
• Determine whether the container is safe to transport (maximum overhang exceeded)
• Automatic, safe & easy, slide position will result in the same optimal overhang regardless of container length

NOTE: For working this option needs DPAD, Advanced display and LOIN, Load indicator or WSIN, Indicative weighing system

When loading short containers you can use this option to pre-set a position where the sliding movement stops. This way you remove the risk of pulling a short container too  far  front and dropping it from rear rollers:

• Two stop positions are selectable and can be adjusted by the operator on the display
• Stop positions can be overridden by deactivating the stop function
• Rope sensor for detecting the container position
• Prevent collision with a crane mounted behind the cabin (requires additional configuration during installation)
• No need for any counterparts to containers

NB This option requires either a Basic or an Advanced Display.
