A
t this year’s Nampo, farmers can look
forward to viewing two agricultural
workhorses from Goscor Hi-Reach’s
stable of premium brand work-at-height
machines; the Hydralada Mobile Elevating
Work Platform (MEWP) and the compact
rough terrain Genie telehandler.
Recently introduced to the local agricultur-
al market by Goscor Hi-Reach, the tough,
heavy duty Hydralada Maxi 540 is ideal in
its design for working at height in orchard
environments such as mango, avocado,
litchi, etc. The machine’s excellent lift
capacity enables operators to work up to
seven metres high while the low tail profile
makes it the perfect choice for work in re-
stricted spaces. The Maxi 540 is econom-
ical to operate and service and is easy to
transport to the job site. “The Hydralada is a
big productivity factor in pip and stone fruit
picking,” notes Goscor Hi-Reach Managing
Director, George Landsberg. He adds that
alongside branch pruning and training, this
compact and versatile machine can also
be used for general maintenance work-at-
height around the farm, warehouse, and
packing store, etc.
With a maximum lift height of 5.79 m, the
Genie GTH-2506 compact telehandler can
be used for general lifting and carrying
purposes on and around the farm. This 4x4
machine’s three power-assisted steering
modes – front wheel, crab and coordinated
steer – provides exceptional manoeuvrabil-
ity to take care of various materials han-
dling tasks quickly and efficiently.
Landsberg affirms that special Nampo pric-
ing will be available on all Goscor Hi-Reach’s
show machines as well as on current stock.
“We are adding further value to our show
portfolio by offering free floating forks on the
Genie telehandler. Pricing on the Hydralada
will include a free 54 kg picking/harvest bag
as well as a Hydraloppa pruning kit which
consists of a hydraulically operated power
pruner with a powerful 40 mm cutting ca-
pacity,” concludes Landsberg.
Goscor Hi-Reach’s agricultural products
will be on display at Nampo 2016 along-
side two other companies from the Goscor
Group - Goscor Power Products and Bob-
cat.
