AN AMERICAN
BULLDOG
Finally, the right baler at the right price. The American 3560 CD is a stout machine
designed and built with the quality you’d expect from American. It’s been created
especially for distribution centers, low volume recycling centers and other
facilities that need a reliable small baler. It’s compact and powerful like a Bulldog
and a true performer in its class. With the vision and tenacity of an eagle,
American Baler takes performance to new heights. Proudly built in Bellevue, Ohio,
USA.

Electric forklifts: UniCarriers
Americas Corp. has introduced its new TX30M,
TX35M, and TX40M three-wheel electric forklift trucks.
These new forklifts replace
the current Platinum TX Series
as UniCarriers continues to
upgrade its full line of forklifts. The new trucks
incorporate advanced technologies that deliver improved performance and reliability as
well as additional features that are desired in
material handling operations.
Available in 3,000-, 3,500-, and 4,000-
pound capacities, the new TX–M lift trucks
feature electric power steering that eliminates
the mechanical and hydraulic components
from the previous series, while increasing
energy efficiency and decreasing steering
effort. Other enhancements include a ramp
hold for smoother operation on inclines; a
low-maintenance automatic parking brake
with “no effort required” design; five factory
performance settings for more versatility; and
a wider mast for better visibility.
The fully sealed IP54 drive and pump motors
are protected from debris and moisture,
reducing the need for maintenance while
simultaneously increasing operating reliability
and uptime.
The new electric forklifts are available with
additional standard options such as quad
mast, drive-in-rack, foot direction pedal, and
forward- or reverse-activated blue spotlights.
The vehicles are also backed by UniCarriers
Americas’ two-year/unlimited-hours limited
warranty. (UniCarriers Americas Corp., www.

Scissor lifts: Toyota Material Handling has
launched a new line of scissor lifts manufactured by Aichi, a subsidiary of Toyota
Industries Corp. Five new scissor lift models
with 19- to 32-foot platform heights and 30-
to 46-inch platform widths are available.
The scissor lifts feature a Toyota AC motor
drive system designed to reduce maintenance
costs and offer more than twice the operating
time of a hydraulic drive system. The 220 amp/
hour batteries extend operating hours and
provide greater efficiency and productivity,
the company says.
Other features include reduced weight for
increased maximum speeds; a lowered-height
19-foot model to fit through a standard doorway; three-stage scissor links for easier entry
and exit on a lowered platform; and a longer
wheelbase and lowered center of gravity for
improved stability. (Toyota Material Handling,
