Galbreath announced the launch of the SLCH Loaded Container Handler. The container handler offers a safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective method of transporting, delivering, and placing front- and rear-load containers.
Compatible with both CNG- and diesel-powered engines, Galbreath’s new lightweight loaded container handler has a lower overall height, so it’s ideal for areas with low overhead clearance, as well as container delivery in tight spaces or remote areas where larger trucks would be cumbersome. Plus, it’s designed so the container sits level during transport, effectively minimizing trash spillage.
The container bottom is fully supported by dual rails (with replaceable wear strips) for added safety and stability. The container’s center of gravity is in front of the rear axle, maximizing overall weight distribution by putting more weight on the front axle, allowing for safe transport of loaded containers at highway speeds. The design also positions the container further forward on the truck, keeping rear container overhang within DOT guidelines, so there’s no need for flagging containers or using additional lighting due to illegal overhang in the rear.
The rotator mechanism of the Galbreath SLCH allows dumping of full containers. It can accommodate front-load containers up to 10 yards, or rear-load containers up to six yards in size, with hoist and rotator capacity up to 8,000 pounds for front-load containers.
Available options for Galbreath’s SLCH loaded container handler include work lights, steel or aluminum fenders, frame-installed tool boxes, camera kits, pintle hooks, lid holders, platforms for transporting Toter carts, and more.
The new Galbreath SLCH loaded container handler is available through Galbreath’s extensive North American dealer network.
