Low Cost of Ownership
• Proven front wheel drive system for
outstanding reliability.
• Advanced AC technology provides faster lift
and travel speeds for quicker work cycles.
• New generation MicroCommand® AC
controller provides optimum performance
and energy efficiency.
• Profile tubed overhead guard allows simple
application of panel cabins.

Operator Comfort
• Automotive pedal layout for easy operation.
• Adjustable armrest with fingertip controls for
precise load handling.
• Full hydrostatic steering system for effortless
manoeuvrability.
• Fully adjustable suspension seat.
• Tiltable steering column.
• Open step frame on each side of the truck
allows easy entry and exit from either side
if required.
• Compact dimensions ensure manoeuvrability
in confined areas.

Service and Maintenance

• 500 hours service intervals for maximum
‘up time’.
• Easy access to all components.
Ast = Wa + R + a • Programmable diagnostics and performance
via the display and PDA or Laptop.
Ast = Working aisle width
Wa = Turning radius • Heavy duty chassis and rigid mast.
a = Safety clearance = 2 x 100 mm • Strong regenerative braking speeds up
R = √ (l6 + x)² + ( b12 / 2)²
l6 = Pallet length (800 or 1000 mm)
working cycles, extends battery life and
b12 = Pallet width (1200 mm) reduces brake wear.

Safety
• High visibility mast and overhead guard.
• Presence detection System (PDS) prevents
operation while driver not seated.
• Backup alarm supplied as standard.

Options
• Strobe Light.
