Features & Benefits
Operational Enhancements
15
Back-Up Alarm
An alarm sounds when the machine is travelling in reverse direction.
Amber Strobe
An optional flashing strobe sits behind and above operator to indicate machine location.
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.
Vehicle Control Unit (VCU)
Reliable Curtis Controllers monitor and control all functions, assuring truck remains within defined parameters.
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.
Large Anti-Slip Step Plate
A roomy corrugated step plate provides traction for various weather and boot types.
Easy-Grab Entry Bar
The conveniently placed, grab bar makes entering or exiting the truck easier, even when wearing gloves.
Large Floor Deck
Improves ease of entry or exit of the vehicle and provides the operator with extra leg room for increased comfort.
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 re-fasten the seat belt
- The shift selector must be in the neutral position in order to re-start the truck
Emergency Switch
Conveniently located emergency switch shuts off power to the vehicle in case of need.
High Visibility Mast
The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.
Simplified Serviceability
