Swedish manufacturer Hammar Maskin – a global supplier of sidelifters under the brand name HAMMAR – has launched its latest heavy duty sideloader, the HAMMAR 110.
“This latest model has three new features – a double-action support leg, a significantly lower tare weight and a newly designed crane,” said a Hammar Maskin spokesperson. He explained that the double-action support leg featured two modes.
“The stepover mode is based on the HAMMAR 155, where the leg extends outwards of 3.2 metres in a ‘step over’ motion, which is often placed on the opposite side of a chassis or wagon. This gives very high stability and fast, safe and easy transferring from or to a chassis or wagon.”
The patented sledgeleg mode is when the leg is folded, giving a shorter reach of 2.0m and is ideal when space is limited. “As the leg doesn’t need to unfold and because of a simplified design using a single cylinder, it’s also very fast. In fact, twice as fast compared to the stepover mode,” he said.
Using the latest technology, the tare weight of the HAMMAR 110 – with three axles and standard equipment – is as low as 8.3 tonnes.
“This means a significantly higher payload, less tyre wear and less fuel consumption as a bonus,” the spokesperson said, pointing out that it had a safe work load of 36 tonnes and had been tested up to 45 tonnes. The new crane design allows a significantly larger handling area and speeds up handling time.
