INDUSTRY NEWS
Designed to carry and place glass
into window frames, the new range
of dual-vacuum glass lifters have two
independent vacuum circuits.
All lifters come equipped with a crane
arm and an audio-visual low vacuum
alert. They are also compact and
universal, suitable for every construction
site.
Kennards Hire Lift & Shift seeks best
safety practices. The dual-vac is safer
than the single-vac (12v vacuum lifters
with single pumps) and will help to
eradicate on-site accidents that could
potentially come about when using a
single-vac.
The Oktopus glass lifting range includes
the Oktopus GL-N400 300 glass lifter –
12V 300kg; the Oktopus GL-RN600 glass
lifter – 12V 600kg; and the Oktopus GL-
KN1000 glass lifter – 12V 1000kg.

game changer
Kennards Hire Lift & Shift is now offering a new range of
dual-vacuum glass lifters as part of its Oktopus make class-
leading compact vacuum lifters range.
An Oktopus dual-vacuum glass lifter
Recently launched in Europe, the new
three-wheel and four-wheel models of
Crown electric, sit-down counterbalance
lift trucks (SC 6000 Series) with capacities
up to two tonnes and lift heights of up to
7.5m are capable of performing material-
handling tasks, indoors and outdoors.
Four-wheel models feature a Crown-
developed four-wheel steering system,
providing a turning radius to rival
three-wheel versions. Newly developed
fingertip control levers and clear view
of front wheels helps operators take
advantage of the manoeuvrability.
Nested I-beam masts that minimise
longitudinal, lateral and torsional
flexibility mean the trucks perform
reliably and give operators greater
confidence while driving. Crown’s
patented Access 1 2 3 technology
provides customers with dependable, on-
board diagnostics in real time.
The Crown SC 6000 also features an
intelligent on-board control system which
ensures the SC 6000 maintains constant
speed on ramps and assists operators
Crown launches SC 6000 Series Lift Trucks
by automatically adjusting the operation
of control functions in correspondence
to different load weights, lift heights,
steering angles and travel speeds.
