Simon Cherry Picker

[TripleSix]

Did you get this sorted @TripleSix ?

Yes thank you.

There is a little valve on the compensation ram on the boom knuckle, opened it, raised the boom a little which made the basket straighten up and then closed the valve.

Nothing yet. I don't want anything, if I have I'll send it to you free. Unfortunately I don't have anything for the moment.

Be very careful you get the correct TYPE of Batteries and if your machine has not got an onboard charger you will need a very specific charger in order not to damage the new batterys

I've not started refurbishment of my rzb yet, thanks for heads up, I've got a charger with mine, but haven't bought the batteries yet. I to convert to petrol hydraulic but have to refurb the rest 1st. I'll let you know how it goes. 1 of many projects

Hi. I dont suppose anyone would know how I could get some info on an acklift 9000? Information seems to be very scarce.

I'm wanting to say and I'm not really sure where I get this from but isn't Simon a hire company rather than manufacturer? Or something like that.

I worked for a company in Thetford Norfolk (production/maintenance engineer) called Gala engineering where the cherry pickers were made. It was designed by a by a chap called John Merrick. They also produced a van mounted one and a fwd diesel powered one called a bulldog. Gala engineering was then bought out by Simons and became Simon Gala until it moved operations I believe to Wales and became Simon. Ex employee Harry Brown

I have one somewhere will locate and copy ta...Andrew

I have acquired a Simon topper on the back of a Transit pickup I have no information on it at all anything you may have would be really appreciated

I have an old Simon topper which works perfectly on the up cycle but one of the hydraulic cylinders will not lower on command and only lowers when the manual valves on the bottom of the cylinder and the pump are released. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Assuming that your Simon Topper is one of the later ones with electric solenoids You need to check that it is getting power to the coil on the down solenoid.
