Rear LED Lighting

• Brighter and longer lasting than conventional lighting.

UL EE Rating

• Meets Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) Standards for EE rating.

Electromagnetic Parking Brake

• The electromagnetic parking brake auto-engages when the operator exits truck.

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 beyond primary stage 
• Alarm sounds when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage and tilt > 2° 
• Auto speed control sensors indicate sharp turn and reduces travel speed proportionately 

LED Work Lights & Blue LED Spotlights

• Features brighter working lights for improved visibility in low light situations, blue spotlights indicate machine location.

Auto-Tilt Leveling

• Reduces sway when mast is extended with a load.

Tilt-Speed Control

• Reduces the forward and backward tilt speed of the mast to minimize sway when it is raised and under load.

Simplified Serviceability
Monitoring & Maintenance Service Port
Another service and maintenance feature, aids in maintenance tasks including: 

• Makes troubleshooting quick and easy 
• Calibration of power    
• Test menu section 
• Data logging 
• Flash programming 
• Easy troubleshooting

Bright, Intuitive LED Display

• Large, bright, and intuitive display provides truck health status quickly and easily.

Wide Angle Hood Opening
Provides added room under hood for easy accessibility to maintenance points 

• Quick access to maintenance items

Quick-Open Covers

• No special tools required, easy to access.

Enhanced Productivity
High Visibility Mast

• The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility. 

Small Outside Turn Radius

• The steer axle designs allow these trucks to be more maneuverable in confined spaces.

Fully Adjustable Arm Rest

• The wide, cushioned arm rest is infinitely adjustable to suit various operator sizes or preferences.

Back Rest & Knee Pad

• Contoured and padded, reduces operator fatigue.

Floorplate Suspension

• A comfortable floor plate combines with the thick floor mat to reduce operator fatigue.

Extended Back Rest

• Provides operator with more comfort for increased productivity during extended shifts.

Smooth, Responsive Acceleration

Excellent Forward and Upper Visibility

• The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.

Integral Side Shifter

• The integral side-shift assembly replaces the standard carriage, therefore increasing residual load capacity vs. hang-on types. This allows the operator to shift the load from side to side for precise placement, reduces handling time, and improves maneuverability.

Durable Reliability
Rugged Dual Drive Motors

• Individually controlled drive motors and drive units are ruggedly made for added reliability.

Brushless Electric Motor Design

• The maintenance-free brushless design provides more productivity and increased reliability.

AC (Alternating-Current) Drive System Motors Controller

• An industry-proven AC drive system, motors & controller allows for precise handling. 
• Provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.

Robust Hydrostatic Steer Axle

• No mechanical connections between the steering wheel & 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 

Dependable AC (Alternating-Current) Controllers

• AC (alternating-current) controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance, reliability and functionality.

OHG

• The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Fewer Overall Parts to Replace

• With fewer overall parts on the vehicle, you save time on service and repairs, which increases your truck’s run-time which saves you money.
