A robust forklift designed for heavy-duty applications in the construction industry (transport of coils, pipes, reinforced concrete items), in foundries and in harbours.
Design has not been sacrificed to functionality, in fact the style once again combines optimum use of space with concern for the health of the operator.
The comfort of the driving position is assured: easy access, fully adjustable seat and steering column, low actuation forces (both for the hydraulic command distributor and for the steering). The LCD display, which is always perfectly readable, allows the operator to control the main working parameters of the trucks at a glance. The operator’s place is wide, and has many compartments for storing objects.
The vibrations have been reduced to a minimum, thanks not only to the cushioned seat (supercomfort MSG85 from Grammer) but also to the “F.S.C (full suspended cab). system” All-round 360° visibility is uaranteed, with the generous window in the mast (based on a new design), the rear opening and the panoramic roof.
The easy maintenance is a cardinal feature for this family of forklifts, which works in several shifts and in difficult conditions. The two practical opening hoods mean that the engine compartment is easily accessible. The whole operator’s cab can be tilted sideways by means of a hydraulic system to allow immediate access to all the components. Safety is another cardinal feature of this new family.
It anticipates and conforms with the upcoming ISO3691; whenever the operator is not on board the forklift is automatically set to safe condition: block of all hydraulic functions and automatic engagement of the parking brake when the engine is switched off; block all hydraulic functions and automatic engagement of the parking brake when the operator leaves the vehicle, emergency button for disconnecting all the electrical systems with the vehicle then being set to safe condition.
The new industrial type Iveco NEF diesel engines, turbo for 6 and 7 tonnes, and turbo intercooler for the 8 and 10 tonnes, are the result of a new design which guarantees improved performance and restricted consumption. Its key strengths are its maximum torque and power supply. The turbo engine ensures a power of 74kW at as low as 2300 rpm and a torque of 398Nm at 1400 rpm, whilst with the turbo intercooler the power increases to 94 kW and the torque to 500Nm.
This forklift is moved by a ZF hydrodynamic transmission, specifically designed for heavy duty applications. It has hydro-electric control of the gears-clutches through proportional valves, the electronic inching, which allows a more precise and sensitive positioning of the load, three forward and three reverse gears, automatic gear shift, automatic adjustment to the operator’s driving style, it is silent and fitted with an auto diagnostic system. The front axle produced by Kessler, is equipped with oil-bath disk brakes: the ideal for heavy-duty use, guaranteeing in every situation requiring short braking distance, perfect braking modulability and zero maintenance.
The steering axle is very tough and compact, and it has a high steering angle for ideal manoeuvrability.
The new mast with “C” shaped profiles and high residual capacities is equipped with a 6 rollers fork plate as standard for maximum guaranteed robustness.
