Multiple awards: xetto® makes loading and unloading child's play and saves time and money
With the multifunctional loading comfort system xetto® from the manufacturer HOERBIGER, a globally active company in the fields of hydraulics, compressor and drive technology, loads of up to 250 kilograms can be loaded and unloaded by a single person in a health-friendly manner.
xetto® is designed so compactly that it fits under the load in practically any van. The key component of the innovative loading system/mobile transport and loading system is a powerful system of micro-hydraulics and kinematics developed by Hoerbiger.
The loading system picks up the load like a transport trolley. It then becomes a pallet truck, lifts its load into the vehicle at a loading sill height of up to 80 cm, "climbs" behind it and finds its place under the load. Unloading is just as easy: "xetto®" drives out of the vehicle, gets a firm footing, becomes a pallet truck again over the last few meters and thus enables the user to transport the load safely to the place of use without straining his back.
The loading aid has now been given new features at the customer's request. The new feature is the flexibly mountable aluminum drive-on ramp for conveniently pushing rollable loads onto the cargo bed. The ramp can be hooked into the airline rail at the edge of the cargo bed from the front or from the side. Thanks to a second operating unit at the height of the handle, xetto® can now be operated completely from a standing position. Previously, the user had to bend down to lower the xetto®.
