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.
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 above 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.
Rigid High-Stability Mast: Highly rigid mast channels minimize mast deflection.
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.
Amber Strobe: An optional flashing strobe sits behind and above operator to indicate machine location.
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 cover 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 drive system.
Quick-Charge Connector: There is a convenient charge port that doesn’t require the hood cover to be opened during charges.
AC Drive System, Motors & Controller: An industry-proven AC drive system, motors & 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, with adjustable fan direction.
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: Preset up to eight different heights for warehouses with 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:
- Oversized cushioned operator platform.
- USB port and power supply.
- Operator convenience add-ons for scanners, clipboards, and cup holders.
- Ergonomically designed control handle.
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: An industry-proven AC drive system, motors & controller allows for precise handling and provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.
Industry Proven and Preferred Components: The Schabmuller steer motor is industry-proven.
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
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.
