With new designs developed specifically for poultry, piggeries, cotton and hay,
Dieci’s range of specialty telehandlers are built tough for Australian requirements
A
Manufactured in Italy and engineered locally to
meet the needs of Australia’s diverse agricultural
sectors, Dieci’s specialty telehandlers are built to be
tough and reliable.
Dieci works every day to evolve its machines,
adopting the best solutions based on research,
advice and customer experience.
This consistent exploration has resulted in a
range of industry-specific telehandlers for poultry,
cotton, piggeries and hay – all of which are designed
with impressive attachments and features to suit
even the harshest of Australian conditions.
Using hydraulically-operated telescopic booms to
transport, lift nd position light to heavy loads, Dieci
telehandlers can perform various jobs using the
one vehicle. Unlike normal tractors with front lifting
systems, these machines have far greater reach,
hydraulic capacity and manoeuvrability.
With lift eights ranging from 5.8 metres to 9.6
metres, the characteristics of Dieci’s specialty range
can be summarised in three concepts: technology,
reliability and durability.
Whether you are picking up birds or cleaning out
sheds, the 2.5-tonne Poultry Pick-up and threetonne
Poultry Pro models are guaranteed to help
you get the job done.
These machines are designed to specifically meet
the needs of the industry with a number of features
that make them ideal for use in hot poultry sheds.
With smaller wheels to help operators navigate
more efficiently, the compact design of these
vehicles allows them to fit into sheds and under the
gantries, typically used for feeding and watering
birds in their specially protected halls.
Along with a custom-designed air filter system,
Kubota diesel engine, double reversing fan, rollover
boomhead for efficient bucket emptying and
LED lights designed to avoid startling poultry, the
14 Farms & Farm Machinery
Poultry telehandlers set the standard for reliability,
safety and operator comfort.
The Piggery Pro model offers similar features
to the Poultry Pro. An engine monitoring system
with shutdown protection, reverse radiator fan and
improved airflow to keep the engine bay clean,
further add to the functionality of this vehicle.
The introduction of big, square hay making
balers, although popular with farmers, presented
the new problem of handling and storing big and
heavy packages.
A truly universal machine with extreme digging
and pushing abilities, the Dieci Haymaster 40.7
makes light work of hay handling and fodder.
With a four-tonne maximum capacity and a lift
height of seven metres, the Haymaster features an
impressive rear-mounted radiator, hydraulic cooler
and ‘Easy Ride’ boom suspension.
Last but certainly not least, the heavy-duty
Cotton Pro 70.10 is a no-fuss, reliable workhorse
with a four-cylinder Tier 3 FPT engine that is easy
to maintain and service.
