Founded in 1979, the company is headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn in the Netherlands and has significant manufacturing facilities in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Italy and the Netherlands. Operating in more than 130 countries the company has more than 1,600 employees around the world, encompassing 35 subsidiaries and 11 production facilities. Hyva has more than 25,000 customers.
Hyva produces the strongest front-end hydraulic telescopic cylinder in the world, double acting cylinders, mobile and static compactors and waste collection units. Hyva’s portfolio comprises hydraulics (cylinders and tipping gear), container handling systems (hook and skip loaders), floors (horizontal unloading/loading floors) and cranes (fixed and rolling). The company has recently expanded its product range. The following are some of the new additions to the product range.
Hookloaders
Especially for waste transport where the load is voluminous Hyvalift has developed longer hookloaders to transport more load. In addition to the standard range of hookloaders, up to 6.7 meter system length, Hyvalift can now offer 26 ton hookloaders with system lengths of between 6.9 and 7.5 metres.
This longer system allows containers that measure up to 8.5 metres to be easily transported. The “S” sliding system combines the ideal combination of system length and system weight. With a special rear bumper, these systems can transport containers up to 9 metres in length and with a capacity of 55 m3. This makes these longer hookloaders ideal for long distance transportation.
This range of hookloaders is an addition to the well-known 26-75-SK and 26-80-SK articulated arm range for containers with lengths up to 10 metres and capacities up to 62.5 m3. This system features a sliding function and a knuckle function which offers the option to transport the shorter standard DIN containers measuring from 5150 mm onwards. The knuckle function also provides a better pick-up angle and greater stability for extremely long containers during loading and unloading.
In addition to long wheel base trucks, these long Hookloader systems can also be mounted onto trailers. The greatest advantage of the trailer-mounted system is the option of transporting a higher tonnage, up to 40 ton total vehicle weight (depending on the regulations in different countries).
Locking system
The hydraulic container locking system for skiploaders is designed to provide maximum load security. Ergonomically designed, the new system is suitable for all types of skiploader containers and press containers for two and three-axle trucks.
The locking system allows the load to be easily secured from the ground level or from inside the cabin, and features a control light to indicate unsafe situations during driving, loading and unloading. The integrated return valves on the clamping cylinders combine with the rotating stops to ensure that the container is optimally clamped when braking, cornering and accelerating. The stops can easily be disconnected or covered to allow wider non-spec containers to be transported easily. The self cleaning gliding blocks ensure quiet operation and durability. The hydraulic locking system has recently received the load securing certificate based on the TUV norms.
To comply with the current norms Hyvalift can also offer a set of special skip stops which will replace the existing skip stops. This special set of stops can upgrade skiploaders up to 15 years of age, and is the most practical means of updating older systems.
35-ton hook loader
With the addition of a new 35 ton hook loader, Hyvalift can now supply the optimal hook loader for every hook loader / truck combination. The complete range consists of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 20, 22, 26, 30, 35 and 40 ton systems, a solution for every application.
The 35-ton hook loader system is available as the Sliding “S” type, in lengths ranging form 5,8 to 6,7 metres, for containers from 4,7 to 7,8 metres in length. The 35-ton system will mostly be used on 4 and 5-axle trucks. With tipping angles of up to 50 degrees, this system is ideal for applications such as construction waste transport and tipping, where very heavy containers are commonly in use.
Based on the existing 30-ton system, the new 35-ton equipment combines flexibility and strength with proven reliability. With the latest computer technology (3D modelling and finite element analysis), it has been possible to increase the capacity by 17%, while adding only 3% extra in weight.
The 35-ton system continues the commitment to top specification products, with quality features such as robot welded units and short delivery times that customers have come to expect from Hyvalift.
This new hook loader further improves Hyvalift’s already strong position in the heavy duty systems and applications market.
