HOIST NEPTUNE SERIES | MARINA FORKLIFTS

The Neptune Series handles boats with care, style and class. This sleek marina lift truck is perfect for a marina or boat storage facility of any size.

The spacious cab, air ride seat and tilt steering provide maximum comfort for the operator. Intuitive electronic joystick controls and superior visibility allow for safe and effortless handling, as well as fast cycle times. The advanced rubber fork covering system securely grips boats without damage. Galvanization and three-step paint process provide maximum corrosion protection.

While focusing on robustness and comfort, we also understand that time is money. That’s why each Neptune Series is engineered to provide optimal operating and fuel efficiency. The high-performance Cummins diesel engine are powerful, yet offer reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Features such as variable pumps adjust oil flow accordingly to provide quicker lifting cycles while also reducing fuel consumption.
