“The requirements for handlers vary depending on the industry and the work they do. However, the desire to have an efficient and reliable machine is something that does not change and that everyone is looking for. For this reason, and because the Hércules 120.10 is a manipulator that is characterized by its versatility, safety and intuitive handling, it is that an institution as prestigious as the Chilean Navy trusted Salfa to incorporate them into its work in two regions of our country” .

This, with the aim of promoting cargo handling in ports. In practice, Dieci telescopic handlers are machines that stand out for their great versatility. A feature that, regardless of its size, allows you to carry out various jobs.
