Kubota Engines and Moffett Forklifts – A Winning Team

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

The Kubota engine is recognized as the premier industrial engine in Canada and has been used to power Moffett forklifts for close to a decade. The latest Kubota 03-M Series engines are found in the Moffett M8 series of truck mounted forklifts, including the popular M8 50.3, M8 55.3PL (Pantograph and Lift Assist), and multi-directional models.

Here are some of the reasons Kubota engines are so well respected:

  • They comply with the most stringent regulations for emissions, including the EPA Interim Tier 4 regulations, effective until 2012, and the EU Stage III A requirements, effective to 2012 and beyond.
  • These engines are known for their durability in all kinds of industrial applications, their excellent performance and versatility.
  • Kubota’s original casting technology acts as a countermeasure against heat load of high power density, making the engines more reliable and durable.
  • Kubota engines are clean and quiet. The E-TVCS system has been improved to reduce particulate matter by 50%, while other improvements have lowered noise levels by 1.0-2.0 dBA over conventional diesel engines.
  • With side power take-off (PTO), a hydraulic pump can be installed at two side PTO locations.

When you combine a Kubota engine with the superior quality of a Moffett forklift, you get an industry leading solution for materials handling.

Moffett M8 Truck-Mounted Forklift: User-Friendly and Versatile

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

As Canadian distributor of Moffett truck mounted forklifts since 1989, we know this product line well and we can honestly say that when we saw the specs on the M8 models, we were impressed.

The Moffett M8 line offers all the quality and performance you expect from Moffett in a modern, streamlined forklift. Along with some aesthetic enhancements, the M8 piggyback forklift offers improved ergonomics: there is more space and improved visibility for the operator, and controls are now easier to reach.

Maintenance is easier than ever with a removable hydraulic tank, easy access engine hood and rear panels, new hydraulic directional control pedal, improved mast components and premium hosing, and an upgraded quieter Kubota engine.

Built-in safety is always key for Moffett and Atlas Polar. The Moffett M8 line of truck mounted forklifts offers features to enhance safety, including improved road lights, a lowered centre of gravity for improved stability and the Lower ‘N’ Go fast-mount system for faster unloading and loading of the forklift. In fact, the Moffett M8 mounts and dismounts in less than 60 seconds.

In the Moffett tradition, the M8 line offers a substantial set of standard features, including telescopic stabilizers, complete ROPS/FOPS overhead guard protection, LED road lights, flashing beacon and a dash with marine tested gauges and switches. It also offers a great degree of customization – buyers can select tires, forks, mast lift heights and a range of attachments to suit their applications.

Fairgreen Sod Farms and Moffett Forklifts, A Great Team

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Atlas Polar is proud to do business with Fairgreen Sod Farms, a family–run company that strives not to be the biggest sod grower in Ontario, but simply one of the best.

How times have changed since the company started. Fairgreen began with one farm in the Markham area, but now grows sod on over 1,600 acres across 18 different farms. In the early days of the business, the act of harvesting sod was very labour–intensive. Because it was hand–cut and rolled onto trucks, a crew was able to harvest only about 3,500 rolls of sod per day, if conditions were good. Now, with mechanized harvesters, Fairgreen can harvest over 35,000 rolls of sod per day.

The company does more than just grow sod, of course. It offers everything needed for lawn care, including seed, top soil, triple mix, fertilizer, and their own garden blend of peat, manure, compost and mineral soil.

Fairgreen delivers its products across much of the GTA. As they note on their Website, their trucks “are equipped with turf tire forklifts which enable them to travel across lawns and driveways” so that bags of soil can be placed exactly where they are needed.

The forklifts they use are Moffett forklifts, available from Atlas Polar. Moffett forklifts are versatile and durable. They also have the highest resale value in the industry.

Fairgreen has discovered the flexibility and excellent performance in Moffett forklifts. To learn more yourself, visit our Moffett Truck Mounted Forklift page. To find out more about Fairgreen, or to read their very helpful lawn care tips, visit them at www.fairgreensod.com.

Moffett Operational Checks

To continue along the same theme of my last two posts, the safety and procedure of the Moffett Truck Mounted Forklift, I would like to point your attention to another great clip recently added to the Atlas Polar website. This one is about the checks that should be performed before operating the Moffett Truck Mounted Forklift.

This video contains some great tips and safety information in a very clear and well laid out format. There are close-ups on the different features and controls of the Moffett Truck Mounted Forklift and the operator in the video does a great job of showing us exactly how to perform the required operational checks.

Performing operational checks in addition to your daily maintenance checks will not only foster a safe working environment, it will also extend the life of your equipment. In other words, watching this two minute video can save you time, money, and help maintain the safety of your operators.
