10 YARD TRAILERS


Adjustable boat trolleys from Italy M


arina operators need to make the best use of both indoor and outdoor space and


this is assisted by the design of boat trolleys manufactured by Italian company FGM. Technology Srl. These are open at the rear, allowing the trolley to be positioned under the boat, which is then secured and lifted from the ground before being transported to the desired location. The trolley’s steering system is equipped with a device that allows progressive acceleration and deceleration, thus avoiding the risk of damaging vibrations whilst the boat is being moved. All other manoeuvres are intuitive and easy for the operator to control. Manufactured according to Machine Guideline 2006/42/CE, the trolleys have a main driving system with remote-control, allowing an individual to move the truck in safety, without needing any other staff. The secondary drive system is


located on the control panel and has the same functions as the primary drive system: front left


and right independent lifts; rear left and right independent lifts; and front and rear independent steering, which also allows 90 degree transverse movements. All the firm’s trolleys are designed with their engines


mounted as low as possible, thus reducing the maximum height of the machine to facilitate positioning of the boat. To protect the leisure environment in which marinas and boatyards operate, the engine is equipped with a


soundproof cover to minimise noise and this has the added benefit of preventing the ingress of water. FGM. Technology Srl info@fgmtechnology.com www.fgmtechnology.com
