Hinowa Goldlift 14.7

[John Hancock]

Just had a demo today on a Hinowa Goldlift 14.7. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The lift was good (14m) and the reach was very good (7m) I’ve been looking at a Teupen which is considerably more expensive, (Goldlift is approx 24k, compared with £48k for the Teupen)

 

Does anyone have any experience with Hinowa MEWPS ??

 

Feedback would be greatly appreciated !!

Not had anything to do with them, but the outreaches seem a little disappointing.

 

The 19m one has an outreach of 6.5m

 

Mine is 18m and has an outreach of 11m nearly double

Betcha your undercarriage is Hinowa Dean. The supply about 35% of all tracked undercarriages worldwide.

[Dean Lofthouse]

I was looking at that and they look very similar to the RQG15 chassis and leg setup the rqg has outreach at 6.8m on the 12m and 8.7 on the 15m

I hire one in from a firm occasionally, Mr Shutler uses the same machine too. I think its good. It does what it says on the tin.

 

( we hired another type with the operator and it was a tud but that may have been the operator not the machine.) It was an italmet?

[John Shutler]

yeah its a good machine,used it quite a few times over the last couple of years and found it it ageeeable in many situations

Cheers for the info guys. Off to the show tomorrow,so I'll do some more window shopping. I like the look of the Leo 15 @ £31k but in this day and age there isn't much money around (even in local authority!)

I've used a fair few makes and models of mewp and compared to others I didn't like the Teupen leo 15 for arb work.

 

It doesnt seem to move in the right way for tree work and having a fly jib type assembly that the operator can't control is a waste of engineering, the basket may as well be fixed onto a solid boom.

 

Don't know about the Goldlift havn't used one.

 

Had a look at the 17m Traccess at the show, another machine in a similar vein.

 

Ranger R16 is a good machine if the setups tight, Easy lift 150 has excellent outreach but is a bit numb in a tight spot to turn and has a large footprint and sliding outriggers, RQG15 Basket is pretty similar but smaller footprint and less reach, sliding out riggers again.

 

Anything any smaller is pointless for tree work IMO.

 

RQG18, like Dean has, is excellent, but is sometimes too big to get in and is expensive to buy.

 

Depends what you need to do and where you need it to go.

 

Get them all to bring one for a demo, John.

I have had a 14/70 for 2 years, it has been very reliable simple and easy to use. I've been on a maintenace couse to look after it which has proved usefull. giving me a much better understanding of its full potential. I would recomend it. The "variable track width" sold the machine to me because of it's increased stability,up and down curbs slightly less harrowing!!!
