Unrivaled Stability
The patented HARSH rigid lift ensures all side loading forces are checked by the frame, not the tipping rams. This frame keeps the body in optimum alignment with the chassis. While also preventing uneven lifting. This makes the HARSH rigid lift as much as 100 times more stable than any front-end tipping gear.

Safety in Operation
With over 2,000 accidents a year involving tipping (source: Commerical motor), the HARSH rigid lift is a real safety plus, protecting your investment in the whole vehicle.

Versatility
HARSH underfloor tipping hoists mean you, the operator, get a versatility bonus too. Problems of longer body lengths or sleeper cabs can be forgotten. Angles of tip of up to 55 degrees can be achieved, ideal for difficults loads. Maintenance to the vehicle's driveline is much easier than with front-end hoists and, by being underfloor, HARSH hoists are safely out of harms way-when the vehicle is loading.

Ease In Maintenance
A complete re-seal on an eight-wheeler K110 tipping gear is quite possible in under one hour, and by one man. What could be easier?

Profits To You
HARSH hoists are all about low costs of operation, with high earning factors. HARSH are the most cost-effective tipping gears on the market today.

Weight/Speed Of Tip
HARSH in-service hoist weights are lower than combined ram and tank front-end assemblies - up to 220 lbs. (100 KGS) for an eight-wheeler. Of particular importance, HARSH uses much lower volumes of hydraulic oil, but working under higher pressure. So HARSH hoists weigh less - and tip faster!

Reliability
Every HARSH hoist design undergoes a rigorous 20,000 cycle test. CADCAM, robot welding and laser-profiling ensure the highest standards of manufacture, and hard-chrome cylinders are standard on every model in the HARSH range. That's your guarantee of reliability.

Unrivaled Warranty
As is our warranty, we give 12 months on the rams, 7 years on the frame. HARSH warranty really means warranty - a realistic, practical warranty that recognizes the first aim is to keep your truck working.
