ML 450 Technical Information
ML 450 Main Page | ML 450 Downloads
Multipurpose, one the few lifters which can easily handle 240 litre bins and 660 or 770 litre bins
-
Low Level Lifter, bags and hand managed refuse can easily be loaded
-
Proven actuator kinematics, uses the same principle as all Mechlift lifters, which have proven to be the best and most reliable lifters available over the past ten years.
-
Weight - this is kept to the minimum through a simple yet robust design, thus resulting in bigger pay loads
-
Single operator, but can still be operated from LHS or RHS

Installation Dimensions:

Recommended Mounting Instructions:
- The correct mounting height is 650mm from the ground level to the base of the lifter's frame
- The base of the lifters frame refers to the four plates which are welded to the top chute plate (reference A)
- It is recommended to make a trestle with a height of 650mm and rest the lifter on this trestle whilst welding it to the vehicle
- Add four gussets (reference B)
- The sill of the vehicle should be suitably reinforced
It will also be necessary to install a pipe across the hopper for the containers to bump against when tipped.
Where a very low rave rail is encountered, it may need extending. Contact Mechlift in this regard.
Other:
The ML 450 has been designed to handle the tough local conditions and stand up to abuse. Due to the limited number of moving parts, maintenance is kept to a minimum and a longer life expectancy can be achieved. No exposed cylinder rods to be damaged or ingest dirt.
