MULTILIFT Talon represents a new generation of the military hooklift range with an emphasis on interoperability, safety and speed. It combines robust functionality in demanding operations with state-of-the-art automation elements. With the possibility of up to 10% overload tolerance, MULTILIFT Talon is able to handle loads weighing up to 18 tons.
Automatic functions increase operational speed
Configuration changes between Flatrack and Container modes are performed automatically from within the cab. Automatic functions and fast-speed features significantly reduce cycle times. A complete container loading cycle with the MULTILIFT Talon takes just 180 seconds.
Single-operator use from within the cab
The heart of the MULTILIFT Talon is its user-friendly human-machine interface, which can be operated by one person (driver) from within the cab. The integrated MULTILIFT HiVision system provides the operator with assistance for fast and efficient loading / unloading. The innovative design of the lifting frame increases performance in demanding conditions (tilting and yawing) and lifting of partially submerged containers. The unique design of the rear assembly allows handling a wide range of Flatracks without any loss of performance.
Prioritising safety
Safety is a critical element of military logistics and the MULTILIFT Talon excels in this regard. By performing all tasks from inside of the cabin, the need for external manual intervention is eliminated, significantly increasing safety in the field. The system provides automatic locking to the ISO container using both upper and lower corner castings. It also automatically locks ISO containers and Flatracks to the vehicle for transport, further increasing safety and reliability.
Hiab's global sales and service network
Currently, tens of thousands of military handling equipment from Hiab are used worldwide by NATO member states, such as the USA, Great Britain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Poland and other countries, and thanks to significant investments in research and development, Hiab has been providing tailor-made handling equipment solutions for over 80 years according to the specific requirements of the armies in a given country. The Czech Republic makes no difference and the hooklift is adapted to the requirements of the Czech Armed Forces.
MULTILIFT is represented in the Czech Republic by CONTSYSTEM
The company CONTSYSTEM, which is an authorized sales, assembly and service representative of Hiab in the Czech Republic, has been cooperating on projects to supply MULTILIFT hooklifts for the logistical needs of the Army of the Czech and Slovak Republics for more than twenty years, and to date, the armies of both countries use over 400 MULTILIFT units, both older MK IV types. or newer MSH or MPH types.
Interoperability with standard defense systems
The advanced design of the MULTILIFT Talon with built-in autonomous support capabilities anticipates future requirements for next-generation defense logistics. The MULTILIFT Talon hooklift is compatible with 1C and 1CC ISO 668 containers, NATO STANAG 2413 Flatracks and DIN 30722 bodies, ensuring interoperability with standard defense systems worldwide.
