Marine Travelift Delivers Hydro M Drives to Suntex Facilities

Suntex Marina has upgraded its marine forklift fleet at its St. Petersburg and Riviera Beach Florida locations. The Marine Travelift M5200H Hydro M_Drive was delivered to both facilities to improve stacking time and ease.

The new M5200H Hydro_M Drive (52,000-pound equivalent capacity) marine forklifts feature a shorter wheelbase and wide stance for easier navigation through drystack buildings. It also comes with a center-mounted cab with wide-view mast. An interactive touchscreen interface can be customized to display functions, such as mast height, engine details, rearview back-up camera and dashboard gauges.

Features that help with maintenance time and costs include the hydrostatic drive system, armor coated hoist chains and a mast lubrication manifold and self-lubrication canister system to automatically supply lubrication to critical grease points. Suntex worked with Marine Travelift to customize the lifts to best fit its needs.

Suntex Marina, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, owns and operates 43 marina properties across the United States.
