Bobcat® B20T-7 PLUS 3-Wheel Electric Counterbalance Forklift

Operational Enhancements

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.

UL EE Rating: Meets Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) standards for EE rating.

Electromagnetic Parking Brake: The electromagnetic parking brake auto-engages when the operator exits truck.

Guardian Stability System (GSS):

• Decreases travel speed by 50% when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage.
• Forward tilt reduced to 2° when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage.
• Alarm sounds when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage and tilt greater than 2°.
• Auto speed control sensors indicate sharp turn and reduces travel speed proportionately.

LED Work Lights & Blue LED Spotlights: Features brighter working lights for improved visibility in low light situations, and blue spotlights indicate machine location.

Large Anti-Slip Step Plate: A roomy corrugated step plate provides traction for various weather and boot types.

Easy-Grab Entry Bar: The conveniently placed grab bar makes entering or exiting the truck easier, even when wearing gloves.

Large Floor Deck: Improves ease of entry or exit of the vehicle and provides the operator with extra leg room for increased comfort.

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 refasten the seatbelt.
• The shift selector must be in the neutral position in order to restart the truck.

Emergency Switch: Conveniently located emergency switch shuts off power to the vehicle in case of need.

High Visibility Mast: The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.

Simplified Serviceability

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-Open Covers: No special tools required.

Simple to Fine-Tune Operating Parameters: Matches the truck to the job.

Enhanced Productivity

Operator Convenience Package: Provides excellent storage for paperwork, refreshments, small tools, etc.

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.

High Visibility Mast: The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.

Well-Situated Hydraulic Levers: No need to reach or hold the arm in an unnatural position, reduces operator fatigue.

Small Outside Turn Radius: The steer axle designs allow these trucks to be more maneuverable in confined spaces.

Smooth, Responsive Acceleration: Enjoy quick and powerful acceleration, and smooth & continuous travel speeds thanks to the AC electrical controllers and CAN bus 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

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 (Alternating-Current) Drive System Motors Controller: An industry-proven AC drive system, motors and controller allows for precise handling and provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.

Robust Hydrostatic Steer Axle:

• No mechanical connections between the steering wheel and steer axle.
• Fewer moving parts mean fewer things that could fail, assuring maximum run-time.
• Low-effort steering for operator comfort and reduced fatigue.
• Quick steering response for increased maneuverability.
• Grease fittings on kingpin and steer linkage for easy maintenance.
• Shock-absorbing steer axle bushings extend the service life of the unit.

Dependable AC (Alternating-Current) Controllers: AC controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance, reliability, and functionality.

Water Resistant Electrical Connectors: The use of IP (ingress protection) rated connectors protects the electrical components from ingress of moisture and debris, assuring you that your truck will be ready to work in various climates and weather conditions.

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

Electronic Foot Brake: Provides a battery re-charge when braking and there are no parts to replace.

Fewer Overall Parts to Replace: With fewer overall parts on the vehicle, you save time on service and repairs, which increases your truck’s run-time which saves you money.
