Shamrock Handling Concepts has extended its range of Moffett forklift trucks to include the new generation M5 and M8 NX series, which has been designed for safe and efficient operation on rough terrain and in confined areas.
“Our new Moffett M5 NX and M8 NX truck mounted forklifts enhance the M4 NX series that we launched locally in 2021. The M5 and M8 NX series encompasses new improvements for greater performance, improved safety, and comfort, as well as simplified maintenance,” states Brenton Kemp, Managing Director, Shamrock Handling Concepts.
“Our customers are impressed at how quickly, safely, and easily these versatile forklifts transfer loads in challenging outdoor conditions, busy yards and in confined warehouse aisles.
“What’s also notable about the investment in these versatile forklift trucks is reduced cost of ownership, because one machine can efficiently handle various tasks and maintenance requirements are minimal. In addition, users can easily transport these lightweight machines from one site to another on almost any truck or trailer.”
M5 and M8 NX machines also offer reduced fuel consumption and quiet operation. An important standard safety feature is the GroundStart facility that ensures effortless dismounting from the machine for the operator.
Other new features of this series include a one-side loading design which enables operators to lift, lower and carry loads, even in confined workspaces.
Other new features include a re-designed chassis with optimised weight distribution for greater safety on site, a high-visibility mast for precise load positioning, an interlocking seatbelt that prevents driving if not connected, LED work lights and a more spacious operator station. The newly constructed bonnet and rear doors enable easy access for daily checks and reduced maintenance time.
