2.1

Truck

Safety mechanisms: Side mounted safety gates (3). The driver is also secured by a
safety restraint belt (4). The overhead guard (2) protects the driver from falling ob-
jects.
The Emergency Disconnect switch immediately cuts out all truck movements in haz-
ardous situations. Safety gates (3) on either side of the cab disable all truck move-
ments as soon as they are opened.
Travelling, lifting and lowering can only be activated when the foot switch (8) is
pressed.
Drive:
Vertical, heavy-duty threephase motor (asynchronous), hence easy and rapid main-
tenance. The motor is mounted directly onto the single-wheel driving gear
Brake system:
The truck can be braked gently and wear-free by pulling back the travel control button
or steering in the opposite direction. This feeds energy into the battery (operating
brake).
The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as a
parking brake and handbrake.
Steering:
Particularly smooth steering with threephase drive system. The handy steering
wheel is integrated within the control panel. The position of the steered drive wheel
is shown in the display unit. The steering angle is +/- 90°, offering maximum
maneuverability in narrow aisles.
With the mechanical rail guidance (RG) system the drive wheel is set to the forward
position at the press of a button.
In wire guidance (WG) mode, steering is automatically assumed by the truck control-
ler when it detects the guidance wire, and manual steering is deactivated.

Controls and displays:

The functions are activated via ergonomic thumb and finger movement to ensure fa-
tigue-free operation without straining the wrists; sensitive application of travel and hy-
draulic movements to spare and position the goods exactly.
Integrated information display unit for all important driver information such as steering
wheel position, overall lift, truck status reports (e. g. faults), service hours, battery ca-
pacity, time and wire guidance status etc.
Hydraulic system:
All hydraulic movements are controlled by a maintenance-free AC motor with a flang-
ed low emission gear pump. Oil is distributed via magnetic switch valves. The varying
oil requirements are controlled by the speed of the motor. During a lowering operation
the hydraulic pump drives the motor which then acts as a generator (regenerative
lowering). The energy produced is then fed back to the battery.
