AC-powered electric sit down rider lift trucks come in both

These vital features have been incorporated into their 3-wheel and
4-wheel series electrics. Capacities on the 3-wheel units are 3,000
to 4,000 pounds. The 4-wheel units range from 3,000 to 6,500 pounds.

dissipation technology.
These all-AC lift trucks include LCD display panel, full

Short-Term Rental
Equipment
There are times when renting a piece of equipment makes more
sense than buying it. These include peak production periods and
spikes in activity that are cyclical but don't last long. Short-term
cycles also can be linked to seasonal businesses, inventories and
special handling requirements. One of the value-added services we
pride ourselves on at Miami Industrial Trucks is our short-term
equipment rental capability. |
|
|
Our rental centers provide a variety of late model equipment, quick
deliveries, low competitive rates and beyond world class customer
service. We have over 700 units in our short-term rental fleet,
including lift trucks, telescopic lift trucks, aerial lifts, cleaning
equipment, skid steer loaders and all types of specialized attachments.

Keep On Rolling!
Staying on top of recommended forklift tire inspections and
replacements ensures safety, cuts costs and reduces downtime. Think of
your tires as the "shock absorbers" of your forklift. Worn or damaged
tires can result in decreased traction, turning difficulty and reduced
operator comfort. Resulting operator fatigue can cut down on
productivity, while uneven wear or distressed tires can create difficult
handling and increase the likelihood of damaged loads. These hidden
costs make it more expensive to replace a tire at failure than prior to
the failure via a scheduled replacement plan. There are several early
detection clues that indicate your forklift tires need immediate
attention, including:
| |
- Chunking
- Spinning on rims
- Overheating
- Cutting
- Marring floors
- Separation.
|
 |
| Let our company answer all
of your questions on tire replacement, tire types, designs and tread
profiles best suited for your application. Call one of our Product
Support Account Managers for a tire survey today, because driving on
worn tires can be a gamble. |
