Electric Counterbalance Forklifts

Modern safety features are incorporated into the designs of the latest electric counterbalance models. Features include the Guardian Stability System (GSS) and the Operator Sensing System (OSS), which work together to enhance stability and improve operator safety.

Superior visibility has been achieved through various improvements, such as an optimized mast design, a lowered dashboard and a redesigned overhead guard in a bar-type configuration.

Additionally, these vehicles are equipped with electronic parking brakes (EPB), which provide unlimited ramp hold while parked on a slope, an e-stop switch that’s conveniently located within easy reach and auto-tilt leveling for added safety.

Ergonomic features prioritize operator comfort and ease of use. The seat-side hydraulic levers allow operators to conveniently control the machine's functions without having to stretch or strain.

Sit-down models include a low-effort foot pedal that ensures smooth and effortless operation, reducing operator fatigue. Their smaller steering wheel with a turning knob provides precise steering control while minimizing hand fatigue. The telescopic and tilting steering column allows operators to adjust the steering wheel to their preferred position, further enhancing comfort.

Ample legroom and increased headroom provide a spacious and comfortable working environment. A high-comfort seat provides excellent support during long hours of operation, and the full-color LCD display offers clear and intuitive information on machine status and performance.

Additionally, a convenient tray is available for operators to keep essential items within easy reach. These ergonomically superb features collectively create a comfortable and user-friendly operating experience, promoting operator productivity.

Electric counterbalance trucks provide low power consumption and high performance. Bright work lights and blue safety lights help prevent accidents, improving visibility and awareness of oncoming traffic, pedestrians and potential obstacles, keeping you safe even after hours.

A tight turning radius allows these nimble trucks to operate where others can’t, and thanks to their silicone electrical connectors, most are even able to go outside in the weather without any worries at all.

Programmable operating parameters allow you to fine-tune your trucks to match your specific needs, and with reliable Curtis® AC controllers, heavy-duty drive motors and hydraulic pumps, these trucks may be the most dependable and hardest-working electrics you have ever owned. Bobcat® forklifts deliver cost-effective, reliable operation, job after job.

These lift trucks are designed to provide a lower total cost of ownership by incorporating various features that optimize scheduled maintenance intervals and reduce maintenance costs.

Planned maintenance notifications alert operators and maintenance personnel to upcoming maintenance requirements, facilitating timely service, while on-board diagnostics provide valuable information on the machine's performance and health, enabling proactive maintenance and minimizing unexpected breakdowns. Tool-free access panels simplify maintenance procedures and reduce the time required for routine tasks.

These features collectively contribute to a lower total cost of ownership by minimizing maintenance expenses, optimizing maintenance intervals and improving ease of maintenance for increased efficiency and productivity.

Engineered with the latest AC technology, electric counterbalance forklift motors are virtually maintenance-free. Replacement of motor brushes and commutators are no longer necessary, saving hundreds of dollars in maintenance fees. Motors are highly rated IP (ingress protection) for increased durability for any application. Curtis AC controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance and functionality. Full protection from dust, dirt, debris and liquids comes with their IP65 rating.
