Operational Enhancements
High Visibility Mast: The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.
Low Profile Dash: Greatly enhances forward view of load or while travelling.
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.
Strobe, Alarm, Mirrors: A strobe, backup alarm, and side mirrors come standard on all models.
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.
Orange Seatbelt: Orange seatbelt has a sensor to remind the operator to remain belted at any time the truck is in operation.
Spring Lock on Engine Cover: Provides support for the hood. Spring lock automatically engages whenever the engine cover is raised, and the technician must manually release it to close it.
Load-Sensing Hydraulic System: Provides better overall performance by increasing power while truck is under load.
3-Point Entry/Exit System: A hand rail along mast, the seat armrest, and large anti-slip step plate enhance entry and exit.
Simplified Serviceability
Easy Access to Service Areas: Spring lock on engine cover and tool-free floor plates for easy access.
Well-Positioned Maintenance Components: All fuse and relay access is centralized and easy to access.
Quick Access to Key Elements:
- Battery
- Air Filter
- Oil Filter
- Dipstick and Fluid Level Indicators
Well-Placed LED Display:
- Continuous monitoring of all vital systems.
- Keeps operators informed of truck performance and health.
- Service error codes on dashboard display.
- Large LED display is easy to read and bright even in well-lit locations.
Wide Opening Engine Cover: Improves access to engine and maintenance components for inspection or maintenance.
Enhanced Productivity
Refined Operator Compartment: The refined operator space is designed for comfort. With optimized pedal positions, the roomy operator compartment has an adjustable steering column and seat, allowing operators to easily find their optimum driving position.
Intuitive Instrument Panel: A high-visibility and well-placed instrument panel offers icons that keep the operator informed about the truck’s operational conditions.
Shift ProTek Hot Shift Protection: Shift ProTek limits directional changes to under 5 MPH, allowing for shift-on-the-fly and making quick shuttle applications a breeze. The market-proven Shift ProTek transmission precisely modulates clutch oil pressure for smooth forward and reverse directional changes. Shift on the go without damage to the transmission.
Enhanced Cooling System: Our standard cooling system is equivalent to others’ heavy duty cooling systems which cost you thousands more.
Inching Pedal: The inching pedal provides slow speed control of truck movement while in tight confines, without affecting lifting speed.
Durable Reliability
Industry Proven LP Engines: Our LP engines provide excellent power, performance, fuel economy, low noise, and low vibration along with superior durability.
Oil-Cooled Disc Brakes: 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.
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.
Superior Components vs. Competitive Models: The steer axle assembly is built with durable components which enhance product life and reduce maintenance costs.
- Larger diameter kingpins and tapered roller bearings for a stronger axle.
- Tapered rollers are stronger against side impact forces.
- Tapered roller bearings have an inner race to eliminate wear on the kingpin.
IP Rated Water-Resistant Electrical Connections: 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.
Heavy Duty U-Joint Connection: The U-joint helps reduce shock and vibration to the engine resulting in fewer engine problems. This configuration also improves serviceability, further lowering maintenance costs.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Full Floating Drive Axle: This feature extends axle life by transmitting high torque to the drive wheels instead of over-stressing internal components.
Steer Axle: The hydrostatic steer axle has fewer moving parts to replace, saving you downtime and costing you less to maintain.
Superior Components: Require less maintenance and reduces costs.
- Larger king pins and tapered roller bearings.
- Tapered roller bearings are superior against side impacts.
Dual Element Air Cleaner: This feature offers added protection to the engine’s air intake, which extends life and reduces maintenance costs.
