- Attendees of the Equip Exposition 2023 got the first sneak peek of the Equipter Tow-A-Lift. The patent pending new addition to the Equipter line is a highly maneuverable forklift / telehandler hybrid that is self-driving, remote controlled, and can be towed behind a vehicle. This unique set of features enables you to load and unload equipment and materials with a lift that doesn't require a trailer.

I mean why not, looks handy
This is such a great idea! this will be so usefull for smaller companies! i hope you guys sell alot of those!
Thank you!
Well. You beat me to it. I’ve been brainstorming an idea for a mobile forklift more versatile than a truck mounted forklift (most commonly known as a moffet) and this is what my final result would have been had you not done it first.
I’m excited for this product and I’m certain you’ll have phenomenal success with it.
Have you considered supporting stabilizers in the front similar to what’s on the truck mounted forklifts to allow greater lift capacity and loner reach? That would likely also require a single wider steering tire to prevent sinking.
The work I do could use about two feet more vertical reach and up to 1000 lbs more lifting capacity.
Thanks for the comment! The production model of the Equipter Tow-A-Lift, which has just started shipping to our earliest pre-order customers, does have stabilizers. The lift capacity is 3,500 lbs!

That's pretty cool. I can think of all kinds of implements and applications for that platform.
This is awesome.
Would be neat to have the brake lights turn into headlights when using the trailer as a load lifter incase you need to use at night. Pretty neat design!
Thanks for the comment! The production model of the Tow-A-Lift does have work lights to enable working at night.
looks so cute ♥😻
😍
Very cool machine. One question: I assume you are using auto locking hubs to turn loose the wheels from the hydrostatic drive while towing? If the unit encounters a down hill stretch while moving will the hubs unlock then lock back in? Back in the 90"s people would kill auto hubs while trying to reverse in 4wd. Or are these a new design I haven't heard of? Again I think this is a wonderful design.
I reached out to our R&D team to get you an answer and they are confirming that the Tow-A-Lift uses an entirely new system patented by Equipter.
@@Equipter Very cool. Back in the mid eighties my dad and a couple of friends designed, manufactured and sold hydraulic RV levelers. Ever since when designing something new I ask myself "what is the stupidest person I know going to do with this?" I could just imagine Billy Bob going down a steep hill with a load 3 times too big.😉
@@victorriceroni8455 that is the best question to ask with heavy equipment 😇. Good to make these things as "monkey proof" as possible . Especially for rental units . i've seen trained professionals do some very dangerous things with machines .
37,000 about/around that price.
Yes, it is currently just under this price: www.equipter.com/products/tow-a-lift
Will this fit in a enclosed trailer
We just released a spec sheet for the Tow-A-Lift (at the bottom of this page):
www.equipter.com/products/tow-a-lift
The answer is yes, we have moved the Tow-A-Lift in a trailer. Its dimensions are 6'-7" in width and 9'-5" in length while in work mode. Obviously, it's towable, so you wouldn't need a trailer to transport it.
when will these be available for rent /sale ?
As of this writing, the Tow-A-Lift is available for pre-order. The earliest pre-orders are now leaving the production line and there are units out in the field right now. So far, there are no rental providers for the Tow-A-Lift, but I imagine that will come soon as more units are out there.
No counterweight, heavy for what it does. Still, could be handy to the right person
The production model of the Tow-A-Lift does have outriggers which you can see in the unit's video tutorial on our channel. Thanks for the comment!
...or, put a tow hitch on a Palfinger Crayler
is the drive line of the crayler designed for highway speeds though ? they articulate in the middle also .
