For our customer in the food industry, a Linde T 30 pallet truck was purchased from the company. ING. M. SCHURZ converted to a SCHURZ high lift pallet truck with a basic load capacity of 3,000 kg / LSP 795 and LSP 900 mm.
The loads are two different metal racks with cheese wheels on top, which can weigh up to 3 tons. The racks or mesh baskets are picked up from ground level by the converted pedestrian stacker and placed on an approx. 1 m high frame for maturing the wheels. After the ripening process, the racks with the cheese wheels must be lifted from the ripening area and transported safely to the cheese dairy warehouse.
As the base area of the racks is very large at 1800 mm x 1800 mm, there is a space problem in our customer’s cheese dairy. The narrow routes in the warehouse limit the size of the vehicle. This makes safe and problem-free handling of the lattice racks very difficult.
To solve this problem, a suitable standard tiller truck, which could be easily maneuvered in the customer’s driveways, was converted into a SCHURZ special high-lift tiller truck. This required the production of a new mono lift mast including a widened carrier plate, fixed forks and reinforced special wheel arms, which were then attached to the basic vehicle. The original lifting mechanism was rigidly welded and the hydraulics deactivated. A powerful separate hydraulic unit was fitted for the lift mast. The basic data of the Linde vehicle, such as the wheel pressure, were not exceeded.
The conversion of the SCHURZ special pedestrian pallet truck had to be carried out in accordance with the specifications of the food industry. Accordingly, the fork blade and the fork back had to be coated with a stainless steel coating at the front and sides.
The SCHURZ special vehicle was also equipped with a load securing profile in the fork tip area to prevent the load from slipping during braking or an unfavorable driving style (stainless steel frames stand on stainless steel forks).
