Solintal specialises in the design and manufacture of various equipment and accessories for global OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). These include buckets, attachments, side frames, dump bodies, undercarriages, etc. for a wide range of machines like wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, dozers, dump trucks, and many more.

\n\n

Established in 1962, Solintal is headquartered in Madrid, Spain – the site includes its manufacturing plant – and employs over 250 people globally. The company’s main business sectors are mining, construction, railway and defence, but it is also involved in the energy, dredging and other industrial sectors.

\n\n

According to Solintal, it is currently working with four major OEMs (Liebherr, Hitachi, Komatsu and Caterpillar). For the construction sector, the company produces different types of buckets and attachments such as booms and arms, rippers, and bumper beams, to name just a few.

\n\n

Solintal is active around the world, with presence in five continents. In Asia, it has “a portfolio of customers and partnerships that are part of our network in this market,” the company told SEAC at a recent press event.

\n\n

“Specifically in Asia, we rely on the metal fabrication sector, both for the contribution of the design and for the implementation of the design (in its entirety) on our part,” said Solintal. “In this context, we are a leading engineering company that deals with the design and development of a wide range of initiatives in the field of mining and construction, as well as metal fabrication as a whole.”

\n\n

Solintal added that in Asia, the company is also working with a number of potential and internationally recognised customers in the defence sector, carrying out the delivery of implements for military vehicles.

\n\n

Furthermore, Solintal conducts separate activities through its business unit Mecanización y Minería, S.A (MYMSA). The company specialises in the distribution, manufacture and repair of machinery, components and tools for the drilling sector, as well as indoor mining machinery and equipment, and underground works such as tunnels, electrohydraulic plants and underground tanks.

\n\n

MYMSA provides on-site assistance and maintenance services, plus mechanical, electrical and hydraulic assembly services. The company serves as an official distributor in the Spanish market for a number of well-known global equipment manufacturers, including Casagandre (drilling and foundation equipment), Hütte (foundation equipment), Kennametal (tooling and industrial materials), Häny (grouting systems), Bulroc (DTH rock drilling equipment), and ThyssenKrupp (industrial engineering and steel production), among others.

Skyjack now offers XStep, the latest product in its Accessoryzers line. This new option enables operators to gain additional work height in tight spaces while maximising productivity.

\n\n

“With customer feedback in mind, we introduced XStep to give operators options to access hard-to-reach places like between HVAC units, piping, and anything in close proximity to the top of ceilings,” explained Rafael Bazzarella, product manager at Skyjack. “Unlike some other systems, Skyjack’s XStep provides a firm, steady, and stronger raised platform and one that is not an integral part of a specially ordered machine that can be added or removed at will.”

\n\n

XStep is mounted on the mid-rail of the scissor lift and creates an additional 48 cm of working height. The top railing design and height provide operators with the same degree of security as a conventional platform.

\n\n

Other features of XStep include: Xtra flexibility, which can be moved from machine to machine; one-person installation process and no tools required; swing down base, which maximises machine platform area when not in use; retrofittable to previous Skyjack models; and available as a factory fit or field install option.

\n\n

XStep is designed to add functionality and convenience for operators. It can be ordered from the factory for new models and ordered from Skyjack’s parts department for older models like the SJIII series and the current SJ3219 machines.
