Low-emission truck performs in style
Model: N-Generation The N-Generation line of forklifts has been redesigned for a more contemporary appearance and to optimize efficiency. The trucks are available in eight different models, with three fuel configurations and capacities ranging from 3,000 to 6,500 pounds. The trucks' EnvirO2 engines exceed the latest EPA emissions requirements, the manufacturer says. Unitized frames provide extra rigidity for extended life-cycle performance. Mitsubishi's proprietary Integrated Presence System (IPS), incorporated in N-Generation trucks, provides a number of indicators that keep operators informed of performance levels in various work environments. Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks 888-648-5432 www.mit-lift.com Model: SPN Series A redesign of this center-control pallet truck, available in 6,000- and 8,000-pound capacities, has increased efficiency and performance while adding a contemporary appearance. An environmental package makes the pallet truck suitable for use in coolers, wet rooms, and freezers at temperatures as low as -20 degrees without the need for thermostats or heaters. A 190-degree steering arc on each side of center makes for easier control and maneuverability. The truck's electronic brake system is designed for reduced maintenance and optimal efficiency. The redesign has improved operator comfort and convenience with a larger operator platform; increased padding; a steel-framed, adjustable control head; and low-effort switches. Nissan Forklift 815-568-0061 www.nissanforklift.com Model: 7400 Reach-Fork The new bi-directional 7400 Reach-Fork truck promises to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase operator productivity. Its AC motor provides quicker acceleration, smoother direction changes, quieter and more precise traction and lift, more runtime per battery charge, and more consistent performance than do DC motors. The ergonomic design features a secondary control handle, a roomy driver compartment, contoured padding, and spring suspension to reduce shocks. An optional ThermaKit system increases operator comfort in cold conditions with a heated control handle and heated floor cushion. A large-screen display panel shows real-time data, including time, battery charge, and weight on forks, and allows for enhanced programmability of the truck's performance. The truck is available in a variety of weight capacities ranging from 3,200 to 4,500 pounds, and in both regular-reach and deep-reach configurations. Raymond Equipment Corp. 800-235-7200 www.Raymondcorp.com Model: 7-Series Featuring an ergonomic control handle, mechanical chassis enhancements, and a soft-cushioned rider platform, these pallet trucks are designed to increase reliability, durability, and operator comfort. Larger-sized pull rods and tractor reinforcement provide greater strength and stability for longer component life, says the manufacturer. The trucks are equipped with a separately excited drive motor to enhance acceleration and top travel speed, as well as regenerative brakes to improve overall efficiency. A new, multifunction control handle with ergonomically positioned thumb wheels offers simplified operations of all controls with either hand.
