HYDRAULIC ARM FOR TRUCK

Description

MA hydraulic loading arm for trucks

The MA hydraulic arm is an articulated manipulator, manufactured in-house, that is mounted inside the truck’s insulated body, next to the doors, anchored to the floor and the roof. It loads and unloads beef and pork half carcasses and hams between the truck and the customer’s rail without physical effort from the driver.

Lifting is hydraulic, powered by the vehicle battery (12 or 24 V), and operated with push-buttons on the handle; rotation is manual, with 360° of working rotation and a reach of about 2.2 m. It lifts up to 150 kg and, weighing only 58 kg, barely reduces the vehicle’s payload.

Advantages

• Effortless unloading: the driver guides the load and the hydraulics do the lifting.
• Lightweight: 58 kg, barely reducing the vehicle’s payload.
• Runs on the truck battery at 12 or 24 V, with a compact hydraulic power unit built into the column.
• Fits each body: telescopic column with upper and lower anchor plates; column height adaptable to order.
• Controls on the handle with sealed hold-to-run push-buttons, and a stainless steel hook with PVC cover.
• Easy to clean: smooth corrosion-resistant aluminium structure, stainless steel hook and handle; cleaned with a pressure washer after each delivery round.
• Protects the body: at rest it is locked on its axis by a spring, and it disconnects with quick-release plugs.

Applications

Refrigerated meat delivery trucks and vans: slaughterhouses and cutting plants with their own distribution, meat wholesalers and carcass hauliers. Works between −15 °C and +30 °C.
