POWERTRAIN
Tier 3 Diesel
Cummins Tier 3 diesel engine in horsepower ranging from 110 to 173. Starting in 2019, all diesel engines must be Tier 4.
Tier 4 Diesel
Volvo and Cummins Tier 4 diesel engines. These engines are 10 times cleaner than Tier 3, have 3% lower operating costs due to higher fuel efficiency than Tier 3 diesels, and are noticeably quieter than their Tier 3 counterparts.
Propane
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) engine. This engine has cleaner emissions than a diesel engine.
Block Heater
A block heater that attaches to the engine and keeps the engine fluids from thickening in cold environments, thus making it much easier to start the engine after sitting overnight. This is for marinas that operate in cold climates and leave the truck parked outside or in an unheated shelter overnight.
Hill Climbing
Extreme gear reduction in drive axles to provide maximum hill-climbing ability. A standard Marina Bull will handle grades of up to 10% with no extra considerations.
Axles
Wiggins uses a Kessler drive axle for its W3.2 models and below, and higher-capacity AxleTech axles for its models W3.5 and above. Wiggins also offers John Deere drive axles if preferred.
OPERATIONS
Lights
If you plan to drive your Marina Bull on a public road, Wiggins offers a brake light & turn signal
signal package.
Backup Sensors
Volvo and Cummins Tier 4 diesel engines. These engines are ten times cleaner than Tier 3, have 3% less operating costs due to higher fuel efficiency than the Tier 3 diesels, and are noticeably quieter than their Tier 3 counterparts.
REMOTE CONTROL
7 Function Remote
Wiggins’ wireless 7-function remote control allows: negative lift
and lower, left fork swing, right fork swing (independent fork
positioning, engine kill.
MAINTENANCE
Autolube
AutoLube is a grease reservoir and a series of lubrication lines that automatically grease the steer axle, mast bearings, and hinge pins, instead of the operator having to manually lubricate each grease point. The only thing the owner/operator must do is fill up the grease reservoir about once a year!
Super Filtration
Super Filtration is a series of filters that further filter all fluids and oils in the truck. This feature can double the life of your engine, transmission, and hydraulic pump, as well as greatly reduce the frequency of hydraulic fluid changes.
CAMERAS
Wired Forward Camera: 1 or 2
In addition to a standard backup camera, Wiggins offers up to two forward cameras that can be mounted on the front end of the forklift to give increased visibility when driving or racking a boat. Cameras can be placed on the front fenders to offer increased visibility while driving with a boat on the forks, or can be placed on the carriage to increase visibility up high when putting a boat into a rack. All Wiggins forward cameras feature a sturdy magnetic mount that makes positioning easy, yet provides strong and reliable mounting.
TIRES
Pneumatic Black
Pneumatic tires are air-filled. These are the lowest cost option and require an air compressor that can keep the tires filled to 145 PSI. Best used on smooth surfaces with no danger of puncture. Popular for asphalt and packed gravel surfaces that require lower contact pressure
than concrete.
Solid Black
Solid black tires do not need to be filled with air and will not puncture.
Solid Non-Mark
Solid non-mark tires are the same as solid black, but are white or gray and will not leave marks on surfaces. Non-mark tires will also not produce black tire dust that gets the hulls of
boats dirty.
Lug
Lug tires have tread and are typically used on the drive (front) axle to provide optimum traction.
Smooth
Smooth tires have no tread, and are typically used on the steer (rear)
axle to provide the smoothest turn with the least amount of resistance or
damage to surfaces (not all options available in all sizes).
FORKS/CARRIAGE
Swing
Our hydraulically actuated swing fork positioners are the standard on our marina trucks, where the forks swing in and out.
Side-Shift
Our side-shifting fork positioner carriage is optional, where the forks shift horizontally from side to side instead of swinging. This option is more popular when handling pontoon boats.
Galvanized Forks
Galvanized forks significantly reduce the amount of damage to the forks from exposure to saltwater.
Fork Length
Wiggins offers fork lengths of between 16’ and 28’, with fork length typically being determined by the capacity of the forklift and the length of boats being handled.
Fork Cover Style
Several styles of fork covers are offered. Our standard fork cover is sections of extruded rubber. We also offer a one-piece rubber hose covering that is more robust, durable, and offers better protection for boats.
Fork Profile
Fork profiles include: round or square/rectangular, depending on the model. Square forks are for lower capacity models, and rectangular forks for larger capacity models. Wiggins offers round forks up to our W2.7 model; round forks are better for handling pontoon boats and smaller boats.
Fork Shanks
Increased fork shank length allows the fork to enter the water without the carriage getting wet. Thus, the carriage is saved from the extra corrosion that comes with being fully submerged.
Heel Wings
Heel wings are a feature that can be added to swing forks that allow the forks to swing wider while still being supported by the carriage. If you would like to lift wider-hull boats safely, heel wings are recommended.
CUSTOM FEATURES
Paint Color
Customers may select either the classic Marina Bull blue and white or custom paint colors to reflect the brand of the marina.
Logo
Wiggins can apply decals of the marina’s logo to the truck.
Wrap
Wiggins can customize the wrap on the rear tub to offer even more customization.
ERGONOMIC FEATURES INCLUDE
Air Ride Seats
Air Ride seat with occupancy sensor, seat belt, adjustable arms. Seat upgrades available, such as seat heater, headrest, seat cover
Tilt Steering
Tilt steering wheel with horn and column shifter.
Gauge & Safety Display
IQAN MD4 gauge display with integrated backup camera and light controls, mounted on an adjustable swivel arm to accommodate all operators. Wiggins Patented StabiLift System informs the operator of boat weight and capacity and prevents accidental overload.
Hydraulic Pilot Control Levers
Conveniently placed function controls that use hydraulic pilot control levers to ensure continued operation even without IQAN functionality. Wiggins does not use electric or electronic function controls that can have lower reliability in salt air/water environment.
Standard Functions
Two-axis joystick allows both mast tilt and carriage lift/lower using one control, the two most commonly used functions. The next 4 standard functions are negative lift/lower – left fork position – right fork position – coordinated fork side shift.
Foot Pedals
Three pedals: Right foot pedals for throttle and brake, as in cars and trucks. A third pedal for the left foot gives hydraulic de-clutch, allowing for inching, or creeping, while at the rack, and allowing for high throttle boat raising without having to shift out of gear.

UNIQUE TO WIGGINS MARINA BULL
Wiggins’ patented StabiLift System measures the leverage of every boat that the Marina Bull lifts. The system displays for the operator the weight of the boat and provides feedback based on a green/yellow/red gauge. If in the green, the boat is well under the capacity of the forklift. If in the yellow, the operator is trained to stay in first gear and keep the boat low to the ground. If in the red, the system will prevent the boat from being lifted. This system prevents the operator from lifting a boat that is beyond the capacity of the Marina Bull and is based on testing and calibration performed at the factory. If you ever have a question about whether your Marina Bull will lift a particular boat, give it a try, and the truck will tell you whether or not
it can be lifted!
Safe Carry Height
When driving through a door or under overhead obstacles, the operator must be aware of the height of the mast. For decades, Wiggins has provided a stripe of reflective DOT tape on the stationary and movable parts of the mast so that when lined up, the mast is at its lowest height. In addition, when coming up from the water, the Wiggins mast pauses for a few seconds at the safe carry height so the operator knows when to move his hand from the negative lift function lever to the carriage lift lever so the boat can be raised a few feet without increasing the mast lift height. These features significantly reduce the possibility of the forklift mast hitting a door and causing damage to the building.
High Stability Factors
Wiggins designs the Marina Bull with the most counterweight in the industry, providing more stability and better traction for the steer tires when carrying high-capacity loads. Also, Wiggins increases stability factors as the lift height increases, critical to maintaining control while racking boats on high racks. The taller the lift height on a Marina Bull, the heavier the counterweight must be to compensate for the dynamics that occur during high lifts. Wiggins Marina Bull top rack capacity ratings have proven to be the highest in the industry for any model, due to the higher stability fact
StabiLock Steer Axle System
Two decades ago, Wiggins developed a method to widen the forklift stability triangle into a stability rectangle, while still allowing steer axle articulation. A tall Marina Bull mast raises the center of gravity such that if the drive wheels pass over uneven ground, such as a drainage grate, and the mast tilts to one side, a properly designed passive hydraulic system attached to the steer axle inhibits the forklift motion and helps to bring the mast back to center safely. Also, the hydraulics can be locked so that the wheels at all four corners of the machine can be firmly in contact with the ground, working to significantly reduce the possibility of side tip. Although others have attempted to copy this system, the Wiggins system is the only one specifically designed to handle the mast tilting at high lift heights.
Locking Counterbalance Valves
On all cylinders that affect the ability to carry a load safely, Wiggins uses locking valves. The lift cylinders, tilt cylinders, and fork swing cylinders are all protected by these valves that prevent unplanned movement in the event of a hydraulic hose failure. In addition, these valves provide better slow movement control since hydraulic pressure is required to open them. Thirdly, when the forks are left up over time, they do not drift downward when the machine is left unattended and shut off. These valves also provide a safe and simple procedure for slowly lowering the forks in case of loss of power. The carriage will never come crashing down in the event of a hose failure, unlike other manufacturers.
