Features & Benefits
Operational Enhancements
8
Active Control Technology (ACT)
- Self-adjusts performance criteria in accordance with changing operating conditions
- Maintains consistent performance through 80% of the battery discharge cycle
- System self protects when overheating detected in order to correctly balance temperature
- Controls travel speed while turning, slows truck down when needed
Steer Angle Sensor and Indicator
Senses and informs the operator of the steer tire angle.
Back-Up Alarm
An alarm sounds when the machine is travelling in reverse direction.
Amber Strobe
An optional flashing strobe sits behind and above operator to indicate machine location.
Rear Grab Bar with Horn Button
Allows operator to sound the horn while holding onto the rear grab bar handle and travelling in reverse. Standard on these models.
Vehicle Control Unit (VCU)
Reliable Curtis Controllers monitor and control all functions, assuring truck remains within defined parameters.
Rear LED Lighting
Brighter and longer lasting than conventional lighting.
Operator Sensing System (OSS)
Should the operator leave the seat, the OSS automatically initiates these functions:
- Quickly stops all truck movement
- Locks the lift, lower and tilt functions of mast and hydraulic assemblies
- A seatbelt warning light will alert the operator to re-fasten the seat belt
- The shift selector must be in the neutral position in order to re-start the truck
Simplified Serviceability
3
Monitoring & Maintenance Service Port
Another service and maintenance feature, aids in maintenance tasks including:
- Makes troubleshooting quick and easy
- Calibration of power
- Test menu section
- Data logging
- Flash programming
- Easy troubleshooting
Bright, Intuitive LED Display
Large, bright, and intuitive display provides truck health status quickly and easily.
Wide Angle Hood Opening
Provides added room under hood for easy accessibility to maintenance points
- Quick access to maintenance items
Enhanced Productivity
9
Pre-Programmed Performance Modes
The Multi-Selection allows an operator to select the best performance parameter
- High-performance mode
- Standard mode
- Energy-saving mode
- Turtle mode
Intelligent Torque Control
Senses traction and automatically reduces travel speed, when in limp-home mode
- Responsive acceleration
- Protection against short or open circuits
- Continuous monitoring of the temperature of motors to assure operation within acceptable parameters
Spacious Operator Compartment
Increased operator comfort, more head and leg room.
Deluxe Suspension Seat
These seats take operator comfort to a whole new level.
Fingertip Controls
This optional feature allows the operator to manipulate the forklift hydraulics without the need to reach for levers.
Rugged, Durable Trans-Axle
This feature efficiently transfers the power and torque of the drive motor for smooth, quiet operation.
Smooth, Responsive Acceleration
Enjoy quick and powerful acceleration, and smooth & continuous travel speeds thanks to the AC electrical controllers and CAN bus cc control system.
Excellent Forward and Upper Visibility
The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.
Integral Side Shifter
The integral side-shift assembly replaces the standard carriage, therefore increasing residual load capacity vs. hang-on types. This allows the operator to shift the load from side to side for precise placement, reduces handling time, and improves maneuverability.
Durable Reliability
5
Oil-Cooled Disc Brakes (OCDB)
This 'best-in-class’ brake system comes with a 5-Year or 10,000 working hour warranty
- Discs are submerged in oil, keeping them cool and limiting wear
- 100% of friction material is used for superior stopping power
- OCDB are more easily serviced in the field than traditional brakes
- System is sealed for maximum protection against contamination
Rugged Dual Drive Motors
Individually controlled drive motors and drive units are ruggedly made for added reliability.
Brushless Electric Motor Design
The maintenance-free brushless design provides more productivity and increased reliability.
AC Drive System, Motors & Controller
- An industry-proven AC drive system, motors and controller allows for precise handling.
- Provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.
OHG
The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
