At Sussex Transport, we’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of our clients, and we’re excited to announce the latest addition to our fleet—a 26t Moffett Vehicle!
This is a significant milestone for us as it marks the first time we’ve added a Moffett truck of this size, specifically designed to tackle the growing challenges of tight construction sites and restricted city roads.
Why Smaller 18t – 26t Moffett Vehicles are a Game-Changer
Traditionally, we’ve operated Moffett forklifts alongside flatbed and curtain-side articulated vehicles.
While these setups have served us well, the increasing complexity of urban and construction site logistics demanded a more versatile and compact solution.
This new Moffett truck is the answer.
With its shorter length and specialised features, it’s perfectly suited for delivering in environments where space is at a premium.
Vehicle Specifications:
- Model: DAF XF410 FAN – 26-tonne vehicle is supported by a rear drop axle and air suspension to ensure smooth and stable transport, even on uneven terrain.
- Safety Features: Safety is a top priority for us, especially when operating in busy urban areas like London. This vehicle is fully compliant with the latest Transport for London (TFL) safety standards, including the PSS permit, ensuring that it meets all necessary regulations for operating in restricted zones.
- Comfort and Efficiency: The sleeper cab is equipped with modern conveniences like a built-in fridge and inverter, making it not only a powerful workhorse but also a comfortable space for our drivers on longer hauls.
The Moffett Forklift:
- Brand: From our trusted partners at Palfinger, this Moffett forklift is designed to seamlessly integrate with our new truck.
- Lift Capacity: It can handle loads up to 2000kg, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks.
- Lift Height: With a lift height of 3 meters, it provides the flexibility needed to load and unload materials in confined spaces.
- Reach Type: The hydraulic reach forks (1600/1200) allow for efficient one-side offloading, further enhancing the vehicle’s utility.
- Weight: Despite its power, the forklift maintains a manageable deadweight of 2100kg, ensuring it doesn’t compromise the overall performance of the truck.
