Machine Description
1.1
Intended Usage
Twiga Carrier arms intended to be used exclusively with Spearhead attachments, and no other unit should be
fitted. There are two versions of the Twiga Carrier:
1. a 2.0m basic fixed arm that can slide out sideways for reach and transportation;
2. a 3.0m folding version that includes a breakout ram to allow the head to be safely pushed back if an
obstacle is encountered. A pin may be removed from the arm on this version to allow it to be folded
forward and locked for transport.
Both versions allow head angling through the use of a cowl bracket arrangement, which can be actuated
hydraulically or manually with a two position pin. Both versions are also able to be reduced in width for transport
purposes.
Twiga Carrier attaches to tele-handlers and loaders arms via a DIN-type mounting plate. The mounting plate
allows the end user to either bolt-on or weld their own specific brackets to any quick attach system that may be
included with their own particular brand.
The a
rms’ overall reach will be dependent on the end user’s prime mover of choice, and that vehicle’s overall
capability.
