These versatile machines, with a l ift capacity of up to 2.5-ton, can transfer heavy loads quickly and safely, even across challenging terrain. An impressive feature is the convenience of being able to easily transport these compact, l ightweight machines on almost any truck or trailer. The 4-way steering enables the operator to easily of ownership, faster and quieter operation, efficient fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions. The newly designed hood, spl it rear doors and relocated battery compartment, enable easy access for daily checks and reduced maintenance time. A single combined hydraul ic assembly, with fewer components, ensures improved rel iabil ity. A standard feature is easier access to the GroundStart control button for improved safety.

TCM T5C forkl ift trucks are designed to meet demand for rel iable machines that del iver high productivity, secure l ifting and long service l ife. These forkl ifts are suppl ied with sol id tyres as standard and have improved features for easy manoeuvrabil ity, operator comfort, safety on site and low maintenance requirements. “Watching this machine at work is impressive. The low centre of gravity provides balance and stabil ity, while high torque del ivers steady l ift speeds, even when carrying heavy loads,” explains Brenton Kemp, Managing Director of Criterion Equipment. “The fully hydraul ic power steering system enables the operator to navigate freely and to turn easily in confined spaces and an integrated digital display monitor relays critical information clearly to the operator. Shamrock Handl ing Concepts suppl ies a range of special ist forkl ift trucks that includes Agrimac all-terrain 4x4 forkl ifts.
