WHY CHOOSE A Cary-Lift?

If your business involves moving and placing pipe, poles, logs, scrap or other similar loads, then you know that there are several different types of material handlers available on the market. But if you haven’t used a Pettibone Cary-Lift, then you’ve never operated the safest, most productive machine ever developed for these tasks.

Purpose Built

The Pettibone Cary-Lift is the ultimate material handling solution for moving and placing pipe, poles, logs, scrap, and other materials. This line of rough terrain forklifts is engineered to deliver enhanced visibility and stability where other vehicles fall short. Purpose-built to handle heavy loads, the Cary-Lift can unload gondola cars or navigate tight stockyards with ease.

Visibility

Visibility

A typical wheel loader’s lift arms come up directly in front of the machine, which obstructs the operator’s forward view, making it difficult to handle, lift, and place pipes safely and efficiently.

The Cary-Lift, on the other hand, was designed with precision loading and safety in mind—and uniquely offers overhead lift arms that mount behind the cab to give the operator an unobstructed, 180-degree view.

Stability

Stability

Typical wheel loaders can lose up to 50% of their rated load capacity when turning while carrying a pipe, resulting in time-consuming, inefficient multiple-point turns or, worse—tipping over.

When it comes to carrying pipes, the Cary-Lift has the superior strength and stability needed to move safely and quickly. Instead of an articulating joint, this machine has a heavy-duty, solid steel frame that can take full loads into sharp turns without sacrificing any load capacity or stability. Its short wheelbase provides a tight turning radius while maintaining capacity, and a wider lift arm stance further improves stability.

Personnel Safety

Personnel Safety

The Pettibone Cary-Lift removes the need to place workers in dangerous situations, so a single machine operator can empty a car without ever having to put someone inside.

Unlike alternative wheel loaders and pipe handlers that often require workers to physically climb down inside the car to secure the pipe before it can be moved, operators of the Pettibone Cary-Lift can omit that risk when handling tasks like unloading railroad gondola cars and similar hazardous situations.

Every aspect of the Cary-Lift, from its lift arms to its ergonomic multi-function joysticks, enables users to operate in a much safer manner while also serving the bottom line by increasing efficiency and overall productivity.
