Businesses needing a powerhouse of a telehandler suited for intensive work should look no further than Dieci’s Samson 70.10.
When it comes to telehandlers, the Dieci name stands as tall as the heights attained by its renowned range of hydraulic lifting units.
The machines, with lift heights from 5.8 to 25 metres and in a range of sizes from 2.5 to 23 tonnes, are a common sight on many building worksites around the world.
The Italian company’s dedicated construction telehandlers have been made specifically for the sector: machines which are designed to handle, transport and lift both loads and people.
Available with or without rotating turrets, Dieci’s versatile telehandlers can easily replace forklift trucks and cranes in the workplace. Indeed, they have the ability to reach higher and further due to the telescopic booms, with their lateral positioning enabling greater visibility.
The telehandlers are robust and easily manoeuvrable in confined spaces, thanks to the use of two steering axles, making them suitable for performing multiple jobs. Whether it’s for the smallest yard or biggest construction site, there is a Dieci telehandler that can do the job.
One particular model that has been proving popular for heavy-duty applications has been Dieci’s mighty Samson 70.10 fixed telehandler.
Inspired by the legendary warrior of prodigious strength, the extremely robust and strong model delivers outstanding power and lifting capacity, making it particularly suitable for intensive work, both in the construction and industrial sectors.
The Samson 70.10 is so named because it has a maximum lifting capacity of 7000 kg, making it suitable for handling large and heavy loads, and a maximum lifting height of 9.65 metres, enabling operators to reach significant elevations with ease.
It comes with many other features that make the machine a joy to operate, including excellent handling, precision movement control, sound proofing for absolute comfort, three steering modes including 2WS, 4WS and crab steering, along with an intelligently designed control layout, making it simple, intuitive and comfortable to use.
As well, maintenance is straightforward, with durable components and materials designed to last.
The agile and versatile machine is designed for projects where strength and speed are essential features to achieve maximum productivity, and there’s a need to handle large volumes and reduce work cycles.
In the field of construction, whether the job involves new buildings, roofs, coverings or renovations and restorations, the Samson is at home with its strength and ease of use in different environments and situations.
Thanks to the available accessories to Dieci products — such as forks, buckets, lifting hooks, baskets, winches, and jib cranes with hooks — the telehandler can act as an elevating work platform, and when fitted with a bucket it can easily handle aggregates such as gravel, earth and bricks.
Of course, the telehandler is versatile enough to be employed in various construction projects beyond traditional building tasks, for example setting up large temporary structures like event stands, concert stages, and amusement park stands.
The Samson has also demonstrated its usefulness in renovation, maintenance, restoration and conservative refurbishment projects, where unforeseen challenges frequently arise and difficult to anticipate during the design phase.
The machine’s adaptability, coupled with the versatility offered by the various accessories, equips construction firms with the necessary tools to address industrial and construction requirements effectively.
You’ll also find the Samson and other Dieci telehandlers employed in ports and airports for tasks such as handling airplanes during routine maintenance, or transporting materials from depots to the docks for embarkation.
Features in focus
The Samson 70.10 reflects the characteristics of Dieci products and their hallmarks of technology, reliability and durability. Let’s take a closer look at some of the features.
- Advanced telescopic boom
The reinforced boom is made of high resistance steel with load sensing and flow sharing distributors that offer simultaneous movements for more efficient work.
- 4-in-1 joystick
The boom can be fully operated by the hydraulic control distributor-single joystick with proportional and simultaneous controls, which also incorporates Forward-Neutral- Reverse functionality for easier and more practical direction control.
- Perfect climate
Equipped with an integrated electric driver’s window, standard heater and a semi- automatic air conditioning system with six outlet vents, this set-up allows perfect air circulation inside the cabin for maximum operator comfort.
- Powerful and stable
Whether the boom is retracted or extended, the Samson remains an extremely rugged machine with exceptional loading capacities in all operating conditions: a transversal levelling device keeps the chassis in a horizontal position, even on uneven ground.
- Maximum safety
The ROPS-FOPS approved cab is designed with a safety cell to provide maximum safety to the operator at all times. All Dieci telehandlers comply with AS1418.19 / 10896.1.
A deadman sensor, combined with operator presence sensor in the seat, prevents accidental operation.
As well, the load limiter device analyses vehicle stability in real time and inhibits any aggravating movements when the pre-set safety limits are reached.
- Side shift carriage
The machine is equipped with a side shift carriage, making it an effortless task to reposition and stack loads tightly.
- Single compensation cylinder
Patented by Dieci, this component, located inside the lifting ram, ensures that the load on the boom is balanced at all times, thereby improving durability.
- Inching pedal
Speeding up, slowing down or stopping momentarily is carried out by this essential control, which still offers maximum power to boom functions to increase precision and productivity for delicate operations.
- Hydrostatic transmission
The servo-controlled two-speed gear box and constantly varying hydrostatic drive guarantees top end speed and low end torque.
The 130 l/min hydraulic flow maximises manoeuvrability in all applications.
- Panoramic views
Inside the cab, large, curved windows offer a complete 360° outside view with uninterrupted visibility.
- Angle rotation
The 134° fork swivelling capability is specially designed to increase the operating arc, particularly useful when unloading with the boom raised.
- Reversible fan
Operators can work in a dust-free environment, with the engine cooling system utilising a reversible fan that blows any dust and fibres away from the radiator.
- Comfort and ease of access
The Samson’s spacious cab has been designed for operator comfort and ergonomics, adjustable steering wheel (height and depth), air suspension seat and storage compartments.
