Tailor Made
Dieci’s Poultry Pro 30.7 is already an industry go-to thanks to its array of unique features, with a cashback promotion making the telehandler even more desirable
Dieci Australia knows the poultry industry has specific requirements which other agricultural sectors do not.
This is why its Poultry Pro 30.7 telehandler is designed around these unique conditions and challenges, rather than expecting the industry to adapt to the machine.
The first challenge which poultry farmers face is finding a machine which is low enough to fit inside sheds and under gantries, where feeding takes place.
It must also be compact and manoeuvrable enough to operate in these tight spaces, without going away from the core purpose of a telehandler which is to reach both high and outwards.
For the Poultry Pro 30.7, having smaller wheels than a standard telehandler and a lower cabin height takes care of one part of the equation.
A 98hp (73.4kW) engine, 3 tonne lift capacity and 6.35m lift height further ensure it is equipped with the strength needed to handle the tough conditions and hard work required by this industry.
“The Poultry Pro 30.7 is industry leading,” Dieci Australia national sales manager Bob Mules says.
“With all the local upgrades that we’ve done, it’s certainly the number one unit for that environment.
“It’s quite a harsh environment and what we’ve done is to improve the overall performance and comfort for the operators.
“Repeat customers are coming back to us when they start to replace these units, and I think that’s proof in the pudding there.”
Local Upgrades
Specialised telehandlers are an area where Dieci Australia has worked to excel, with the Poultry Pro 30.7 sitting alongside other industry-specific configurations such as the Cotton Pro and Piggery Pro.
Dieci telehandlers are built in the same region of Italy as the likes of Ferrari and Maserati but are then further engineered in Australia to create a telehandler suited to local conditions.
In the Poultry Pro 30.7’s case, Mules says the lighting, air conditioning, and radiator are three areas which have received further refinement for what Australian operators need.
“We’ve upgraded the LED light system, which involves adding seven additional LED lights because obviously it can be quite dark in the chicken sheds,” he says.
“We’ve upgraded the air conditioning to an Australian-made air conditioning system. This is equipped with a sealed filter inside the cabin, so it recirculates the cabin air, instead of pulling in the fowl air from outside the ergonomic enclosure.
The sheds can be a very acidic environment so it’s important that the cab is sealed for operator comfort.
“Furthermore, we’ve got a custom-built radiator on the unit which is also Australian made.
“This is equipped with an automatic reversing fan, so it increases the cooling capacity of the radiator and also helps with engine management.”
Another area which shows the attention to detail applied by Dieci Australia relates to the electrical system.
While this upgrade may not be as obvious to users during their daily work as the lighting or air conditioning, it is something which has been added to ensure the telehandler’s longevity.
“These machines are washed and sanitised daily because of the environment inside the sheds, so we’ve upgraded the electrical system as well to include marine-grade solenoids and circuit breakers, and they’re encased in what we call an IP64 rated box,” Mules says.
“The key reason for this is to eliminate any corrosion around the fuse box and the relay and by doing this, we’ve eliminated that corrosion around the electrical areas.”
Strong Base
While these upgrades exist to make the Poultry Pro 30.7 even more desirable for Australian conditions, the telehandler is packed with plenty of standard features which make it well equipped for the job.
Powered by a 98hp (73.4kW) Kubota diesel engine, the Poultry Pro 30.7 can reach impressive speeds of 30km/h.
Alternatively, low profile tyres can be added to bring the machine’s overall height below 2m, while its standard height of just 2.04m makes it ideal for use inside sheds.
Capable of reaching 6.35m in lift height and handling loads up to 3 tonnes, the telehandler’s advanced telescopic boom is also made of tensile steel.
It includes load sensing and flow sharing distributors which Dieci says allows for more simultaneous movements during operation.
Boom control is available through the four-in-one joystick, while Dieci has worked to ensure precision is maximised inside the tight and delicate environments which poultry producers work in.
A load limiter device analyses the telehandler’s stability in real time, while an inching pedal allows the operator to momentarily either slow down or stop the unit completely while still maintaining maximum power to boom functions.
Another feature which operators will immediately notice, and which has been implemented with their daily comfort in mind, relates to the presence of an air suspension adjustable seat.
“For drivers in the cabin for six or eight hours a day, this seat, along with air conditioning and the filtration, is about ensuring operator comfort in those harsh environments.”
