New innovations of MHEs - Lift Trucks
Lift truck reduces maintenance costs
This electric motor counterbalanced lift truck includes lifting capacities ranging from 4,000 to 6,500 pounds. The trucks feature both an AC drive motor and hydraulic motor that reduce truck maintenance costs while increasing productivity. The change from DC to AC motors increases power and performance while reducing the number of replacement parts. New operator compartment improvements include several controls.
A lift truck cabin that rotatesThe first lift truck designed with a cabin that can rotate a full 180 degrees. The new truck was created in response to customer requests to reduce operator injury and eliminate obstructed views and lengthy reverse travel by allowing the operator to rotate the cabin to face the direction of travel.
Data shows that back injuries caused from reverse driving over long distances and continual twisting and leaning account for billions in lost productivity. The lift truck allows the operator to lift a load, turn the cabin 30 degrees to the left or 180 degrees to the right without strain to eliminate obstructed views.
The AC-powered truck, with 6,000 pounds capacity, is suited for applications involving heavy weights, long travel distances and operator restrictions due to employee liability concerns.
