Operational Enhancements
Auto Directional Alignment: At start up and after extended inactivity, the steering system is auto-aligned to the forward direction for added operator convenience.
Electromagnetic Parking Brake: The electromagnetic parking brake auto-engages when the operator exits truck.
Height and Descent Proximity Sensors: Sensors monitor lifting and lowering speed to minimize shock when reaching the end of the lift and lower cycles, providing the operator with smooth transitions through various mast stages.
Shock Absorption: A hydraulic accumulator further aids in absorbing shock.
Side Gate Sensor with Electronic Lockout Function: If the sensors detect that the side gate on either side of the operator compartment is not in place, all truck functions are disabled.
Battery Side Gate & Hood Cover Interlock: Travel is disabled when the battery side gate or hood covers are not in place.
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.
Rigid High-Stability Mast: Highly rigid mast channels minimize mast deflection.
Charger Access Port Sensors: Sensors detect the charger’s connection to the vehicle and disconnect power to drive system while battery is charging.
Lift Chain Slack Sensor: Should the primary lift chain’s tension fall outside of recommended tolerances, functions are restricted except for platform lift.
Emergency Switch: Conveniently located emergency switch shuts off power to the vehicle in case of need.
Back-Up Alarm: An alarm sounds when the machine is traveling in reverse direction.
High Visibility Mast: The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains with are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.
Simplified Serviceability
Wide-Opening Service Doors: Service components are easy to access thanks to the no-tools-needed design of the service component doors.
Easy Access to Service Areas: Spring lock on engine door and tool-free floor plates for easy access.
Easy-Access Drive Tire Design: A single plate cover provides complete access to the drive tire and the drive system.
Quick-Charge Connector: There is a convenient charge port that doesn’t require the hood cover to be opened during charges.
Extended Maintenance Intervals: Saves you time and money!
- The hydraulic oil filter change is required only once every 2,000 hours.
- The hydraulic oil change is required only once every 2,500 hours.
AC Controllers: AC controllers provide a combination of power, performance, and functionality.
AC 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.
Brushless Motor Design: The maintenance-free brushless design provides more productivity and increased reliability.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD): OBD allows you to diagnose the vehicle as well as to set its performance parameters via a laptop (no special tools required).
Low Maintenance, Heavy-Duty Transaxle: The patented Hypoid Bevel gear-set reduces heat, noise, and wear. There is no need for additional oil changes after its first servicing.
Hydraulically Cushioned Mast and Reach Cylinders: The Bobcat-manufactured mast and pantograph features built-in hydraulic load cushioning to provide smoother machine operation.
AC Proportional Lift/Lower Control: The powerful pump motor and reliable AC controller provides efficient lift and travel speeds, making order picking more productive.
Enhanced Productivity
LED Lighting & High-Performance Operator Fans:
- High-powered fan motors keep operator comfortable when picking on those hot days.
- Adjustable fan direction.
- Tilted vent for improved air flow.
- LED lighting is superior in performance and comes with a much longer lifespan.
Electronic Power Steering: Reduces steering effort by up to 90%, helpful when maneuvering in confined spaces.
Three Travel Modes: Features selectable power; choose energy saving for better battery life, normal operation for everyday functions, or heavy-duty mode for those long shuttle jobs with long distances to travel.
Pre-height Selector: Pre-set up to eight different heights for warehouses and uniform aisles. Automatically lifts and stops when the operator selects the desired setting on the keypad.
Wide View Mast & OHG: The specially designed mast has hoses and lift-chains tucked away to enhance the view through the rails. The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.
Top-Tier Travel and Lift Speeds: When you need to spend less time driving and more time getting the job done, these trucks are superior to other trucks in their class.
Excellent Operator Comfort:
- Ergonomically designed control handle.
- Oversized cushioned operator platform.
- USB port and power supply.
- Operator convenience add-ons for scanners, clipboards, & cup holders.
Fully Adjustable Arm Rest: The wide, cushioned arm rest is infinitely adjustable to suit various operator sizes or preferences.
Integral Side Shifter: Replaces the forklift’s standard carriage, therefore increasing residual load capacity. It allows the operator to shift load from side to side for precise placement, reducing handling time and improving maneuverability.
Durable Reliability
AC Drive System, Motors & Controller: Provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.
Industry Proven and Preferred Components: The Schabmuller steer motor is industry-proven. The reliable ZF drive unit is an industry-proven drive unit.
Durable Stellana Drive Tire and Load Wheels: Stellana is a trusted industry leader in the manufacture of quality polyurethane wheels and tires.
- Sturdy Stellana polyurethane tires are fit for heavy duty applications.
- Provides excellent wear resistance.
- Bolt-on design for ease of maintenance.
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.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Reduced Maintenance Costs: By extending the time between recommended maintenance intervals, you effectively spend less money on preventative maintenance tasks.
Money-Saving AC Motors: Thanks to their brushless design, there is virtually no maintenance required.
Easy-to-Read Diagnostics: The technician can easily diagnose truck conditions using only a cable and laptop.
Cost-Effective Drive Tires & Steer Wheels: Longer lasting and easy to replace, this design is much more cost-effective than others that require a replacement of the entire system.
