Leafield Feeds add another HTS30/90 hook trailer to their fleet
13th May, 2016
Another HTS 30/90 has joined the fleet of Wakefield based food reprocessor, Leafield Feeds. With its improved payload capacity of 24 tonnes, Leafied are now able to handle containers from the food industry which are becoming heavier and so cannot be transported using their traditional 8 wheel hooklifts which are limited to 15 tonnes capacity. As many of the containers are loaded by compactors they are not only heavy but can suffer from non uniform weight distribution with the weight biased towards the rear. This can cause problems with weight distribution on the vehicle if the containers are carried in the normal position. The HTS30/90 hooklift has been engineered to allow the containers to be brought further up the neck of the hooklift to ensure the correct weight distribution between the trailer bogie and the drive axle on the tractor. The latest HTS 30/90 has a chassis built out of high tensile steel to optimise on payload capacity and can carry a tonne extra payload in comparison to its predecessor. The latest variant has also been re-engineered to lower the hooklift into the trailer chassis, lower the centre of gravity and improve stability. The hooklift is operated by radio remote control which allows ready interchangeability with other tractor units.

The new blower has a capacity of 38m3 (50yd3) of woodchip making it the largest available and will work with the company's hooklift vehicle. The blower is fully autonomous, fitted with its own engine and like all Transmanut blowers, features full sound encapsulation,
radio remote control and dust extraction. Paintwork and customer livery are applied at the factory so the unit can go straight into service.

Parkend Farms takes another Woodchip Blower
20th April 2015
After 15 months operation with the first unit which has now delivered an estimated 5,000 tonnes of woodchip to their customers, Parkend Farms have taken delivery of a 2nd Transmanut 30m3 Woodchip Blower unit from Hooklift Solutions to cater for the growth and development of the woodchip market and the need to supply fuel to a steadily increasing number of customers in the Northumberland area. The retrofit of biomass heating installations to existing properties has meant that existing buildings and facilities are required for the storage of up to 40-50m3 of chip and this is fuelling a drive for more deliveries to be blown deliveries to provide the access that is required. As the Transmanut Woodchip Blower is autonomous and can be operated by an existing 6 or 8 wheel hooklift, it can provide the flexibility not available with a permanent installation.
First Transmanut Pellet Tanker for Scotland
8th April 2015
To cope with the growth in demand for blown pellet deliveries in the Perthshire area, Methven based B D Supplies Ltd chose a new 9 tonne capacity Wood Pellet Tanker from Hooklift Solutions as the way forward to increase their wood pellet deliveries. Accessability is a key feature required by many of Brian Donaldson's customers where biomass boilers have been retrofitted into existing properties and access by larger tankers would be restricted.

The non-pressurised tank design ensures a lower overall height and the bodywork width is no wider than the cab. The Transmanut body is supplied with 'Charge by Weight' weighing system as standard so a weight ticket can be issued at point of delivery and the exact amount of pellets delivered charged for. The pneumatic discharge bodywork is ENPlus compliant and the vehicle is fitted with dust extraction equipment as standard. Good ride characteristics are ensured with the fitment of drive axle air suspension and the 250 bhp Euro 6 Paccar engine produces excellent economy with plenty of torque to cover hilly areas.

Soltens Co Products have added a new HTS 30/90 hooklift semi-trailer to their hooklift fleet. Currently operating rigid hooklifts for the transport of excess products from bakeries and food processors such as dough and pizza mixes, these products are collected using compactor bins and can be very heavy, weighing up to 24/25 tonnes. Soltens then reprocess this material into animal feedstuffs for the farming industry. Prior to putting their new HTS 'Ultralite' into service, they were limited to 15 tonnes payload on their rigid 8 wheel hooklifts. To reduce transport costs and reduce the number of collections, Soltens chose a HTS 30/90 'Ultralite' hooklift semi trailer from Hooklift Solutions. The HTS 'Ultralite' is believed to be the lightest hooklift semi-trailer on the UK market and features a chassis constructed from Domex 700 steel. The trailer can handle containers from 6m to 9m in length and features radio remote control so it can be operated by any tractor unit with hydraulics and so does not require a dedicated tractor unit. As the dough in the compactor bins is not uniformly distributed in weight, the trailer is equipped with secondary lock positions so the bin can be brought further forward than required for a uniformly distributed load to ensure correct axle weights at 44 tonnes. A rear hydraulic stabiliser completes the specification to help manoeuvre the loaded containers.
