Mechanical and Design Superiority Plus Performance Plus SPEED Puts ECONMOBILE in a Class by Itself-More Have Been Sold than All the Others Combined.
FASTEST MACHINE IN ITS CLASS
Much more material delivered in a given time up to 50% more. Road speeds up to 30 m.p.h. (see illustration) plus snappy hydraulics. No "gymnastics" when delivering loads Econmobile sets loads easily and is on its way. "Wrist Action" (loader arms bent out towards terminal ends) enables machine to utilize reach and place materials without banging scaffold.
STEADIEST MACHINE IN ITS CLASS
Integral design as opposed to tractor conversion. Econmobile starts with heavy frame - no sub frames and all components are matched. Extremely large industrial tires for lack of weave. Lift cylinders fastened toward terminal end of loader to accomplish rigidity- no swaying in the breeze. No moving back and forth of great masses to upset balance all combined to provide unmatched steadiness.
MOST REACH IN ITS CLASS
Econmobile reaches out farthest at all heights -forks are still way ahead of tractor wheels at maximum height. Reach over trenches, reach over the bed of a truck, deposit loads to the rear of the scaffold. If you don't buy Econmobile you still need one of its competitors that provide REACH as opposed to vertical mast machines.
MOST TROUBLE-FREE IN ITS CLASS
ECONMOBILES have been on the market since 1954. This vast experience has produced a machine that is as trouble-free as man can make. Econmobile has many, many inovations, including completely hydraulic steering (no mechanical linkages and up to six mechanical component parts eliminated for trouble-free operation). Torque Converter to inch machine without clutch slippage (and clutch wear). Planetary double reduction axle of full industrial type (free floating axle so wheel can't fall off).
LOW NINE FOOT CLEARANCE
Allows Econmobile to work inside and out and to clear ten foot doors with ease. Contrast with vertical mast machines with no reach and so high in the down position that they cannot clear ten foot doors.
BEST VALUE IN ITS CLASS
Econmobile would be your most economical buy (since its delivers more materials) even at hundreds of dollars more. BUT, it sells for hundreds of dollars less. Low, low price due to volume and simplified design. No high-priced gimmicks.
Consider, again, these features:
HEIGHT: 30'8" with fork, 33' with Crane Hook.
REACH: 8'4" to HEEL of Fork more if longer forks are used.
TRACTION: Balanced design, low center of gravity carries load exactly in the right position over drive wheels. No shifting of weight.
CLEARANCE: 9'1" for both inside and outside work.
FLOTATION: The ability to carry loose loads without spilling.
SPEED: 30 miles per hour plus hydraulic speed that moves cylinders fast.
MULTIPLE USES: Forks for masonry materials, Crane Hook for stone and pre-cast, Buckets for clean-up and others.
INTEGRAL DESIGN: Full floating industrial axles for safety, high speed engine, torque converter, modern hydraulic power steering, automatic self-leveling and many, many more..
