Wiggins Yard Bulls work harder and live longer

Wiggins machines are known for their longevity and durability. To us, “longevity” means fifteen or twenty years, not the four to eight of other manufacturers. There are Wiggins lifts still working in the field after 30 years!

We achieve this standard by starting with quality raw materials and the best components. In the most crucial areas of performance and safety, we overbuild. Our carriages, forks, masts, and axles are the most rugged in the industry. The use of anti-corrosion materials adds to the durability. Our IQAN™ System hydraulic pressures test panel allows monitoring of truck performance and status, allowing the operators and mechanics to stay informed in real time.

We don’t stop there. Our auto-lube system minimizes downtime by automatically lubricating key components—mast and carriage bearings, tilt cylinder, mast pins, and steer axles to ensure smooth operation and to save money. The optional oil purification system reduces costly and time-consuming oil changes. With proper maintenance, the Yard Bull LoPR0 with optional Super Filtration can operate as long as one year without having to change the lubricating oils. This feature alone has proven to extend component life by thousands of hours.

An investment in a Wiggins Yard Bull is an investment for the long haul.

Technology, Safety, and Bigger Boats

Technology, Safety, and Bigger Boats

The Wiggins Marina FLX is a perfect example of the wedding of technology to meet safety and size requirements in this new age of Marina industry. Bigger boats require more safety measures. Wiggins Lift leads the industry in innovative approaches to address these needs.

A recent article in Marina Dock Age explores these issues and includes quotes from Wiggins Lift’s Mike Wiggins and Bruce Farber, and XL-Lift’s Mike Marzahl.

Today’s world is full of technology, and consumers expect more more more from their products and equipment. Marine forklifts are no different, and manufacturers are responding with new and better offerings.

The article addresses the need to lift bigger and wider boats, the industry desire for “greener” lifts, need for long-term maintenance, and other trends in the industry.

Wiggins Yard Bull: Built for your environment and needs

Built for your environment and needs

The newest Dual Purpose Wiggins Yard Bull has an exceptionally low overall height, despite its maximum lift height and capacity. Designed for Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo), it can access the tightest cargo bays. Its Tier 4 Final Volvo engine means it meets the most stringent environmental standards.

We design and manufacture each truck to meet the customer’s unique environment and needs. Our goal is to make you better at what you do. This approach makes each Yard Bull particularly suited to the job it will perform, which means better performance and durability.

Wiggins builds machines to order, meaning you get what you need for your application, not some generalized lift that may or may not meet your needs.

When it comes to servicing a Wiggins Yard Bull, we beat the competition with easy access for maintenance, service, and troubleshooting. The innovative clamshell design of the operator console and engine compartment allows easy access—at eye level—to the entire power train for service when needed. Easy access means lowered maintenance costs and a quick return to moving cargo.

Our customers love the time- and money-savings that a Yard Bull brings to their operations.

A little incentive to ease the pain of rising costs!

Part of running a business means controlling costs. While cost-savings decisions are often available, sometimes the costs are out of our control.

Like many of you, our insurance premiums have increased for the second year in a row as a result of the Affordable Car Act. Once again, they have doubled, resulting in a 400% increase in just 24 months! While there may be relief in the future, it will take some time.

Wiggins refuses to compromise the safety, quality, and longevity of our products (which is unequaled in the industry). Because of these significant increases, it appears we will have to raise our prices in 2017.

However, we have some good news. If you are planning on purchasing a lift in 2017, place your order and deposit before December 31, 2016. You tell us when you want your lift delivered any time in 2017, but you’ll get it for the 2016 price!
