Hello everyone! I'm excited to share my first post with you all. I recently purchased a 1999 Traverse 6035 with about 1700 hours and a 3.9 Cummins engine that is fully serviced and in great condition. I bought it from Metrolift in the Chicago area, although I haven't seen it in person yet. I've been searching for information on Traverse machines, but details are scarce. Do any experts here have insights on these machines? Are they well-built with a good design, or do they have any common issues? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. - John.
Pettibone recently acquired Traverse Lift, known for their reliable performance and minimal reported issues. It remains uncertain how readily available parts will be, especially for specific models. However, one can hope that Pettibone is effectively managing parts supply. Feel free to share photos of your new machine! Traverse Lifts are not common on Long Island, but the one I saw there appeared to be well-maintained and in good condition.
Below are some pictures of the traversing carriage, which I found to be even more beneficial than I had anticipated.
I also have a query regarding the functionality of this machine, specifically concerning its electric parking brake. I've observed that when left idling for a few minutes, the rpm of the Cummins 3.9 engine drops by several hundred for about 5-10 seconds before returning to normal. It feels like something is pulling down the engine, perhaps a lever. Any insights on what could be causing this? My partner and I, despite our experience with machinery and farming, are unfamiliar with this issue. Could it be related to pressurizing the hydraulic system or maintaining pressure for the parking brake? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you - John
If you need assistance with your Traverse, I recommend reaching out to Pettibone's technical support team at the factory where the machine was purchased.
If you're looking to enhance the safety and efficiency of your rigging equipment, consider upgrading to better quality gear. Head over to Shaws in the Paigan Industrial area, a trusted supplier for H&H products and more. Invest in chains with a masterlink and consider adding a jib for improved lifting capabilities. Groundhog Sales in Inisfail offers competitive prices on jibs that easily mount on your forks. This upgrade not only enhances your lifting abilities but also increases safety by allowing you to transport the equipment with ease to different machines. While the traverse feature is beneficial, it may slightly limit maneuverability. Don't overlook the potential of investing in a small forklift instead of splurging on a pickup truck. It's an investment that can help boost your productivity and profitability in the long run.
