Product range information Product range information General The R200 series completes the lower capacity range with capacity segments made up by the R212 (1200 kg), R214 (1400 kg) and R216 (1600 kg). In the right application, combining AC tech- nology for driving with DC technology for lifting results in optimum machine performance.
Applications Applications Typical application involves universal material handling at smaller sites. The truck can be used for cargo handling in large warehouses and racking, floor stacking and transport. Typical customers are made up by small and medium size companies with a vary- ing number of pallets handled each day.
Sales arguments Sales arguments Features and benefits Operator compartment The operator compartment should be ergonomi- cally designed since this is where the operator spends most of the day. A tired operator is less productive. • Low in-step height of only 270 mm •...

Sales arguments Battery Select between three different battery sizes. This allows adapting the truck to the work tasks depending on whether it is used for short or long shifts. Wide battery Uses the full width of the truck for improved stability and reduced aisle width re- quirement.

Sales arguments Emergency moving of the truck when driving is not working Release the parking brake using the switch under the arm rest panel. The truck can then be towed without lifting it. Emergency lowering of the forks Via a switch under the armrest panel. Emergency retraction of the mast Via a switch under the armrest panel.
Sales arguments Important sales arguments for R200 Operator environment Space • Low entry • Ergonomic design with, among others, adjust- • ment of the operator’s seat, operating console, levers and pedals Pedals arranged similarly to a passenger car • • Small steering wheel and lever movements that require minimum effort reduce the strain on the operator.

Product details Emergency switch The emergency switch is placed on the instrument panel where it can be reached from both outside and inside the truck cab. If activated, the truck can still be steered. Following activation of the emer- gency switch, the truck must be restarted to reset the switch.
Product details Display The truck has an easy-to-read display with red and green truck status LEDs. Parking brake indicator (A) The brake is automatically applied when the operator leaves the seat. The symbol “P” lights up in the display window (A). Direction indicator (B) The arrows indicate the selected travel direction.

Product details Parameter indicator (I) This display symbol lights when verifying the set parameters. Hour meter indicator (J) This display symbol lights when the hour meter is shown. Operating hours can be displayed in several different ways: Key time: Measures the total time the truck has remained switched on using the keypad.
Product details Operating console Steering wheel The steering characteristics are progressive. This means the higher the travel speed, the lower the steering response (sensitivity is reduced). When driving slowly, the steering wheel need not be tur- ned as many turns as when driving at high speed. The steering characteristics can be adapted to the operator’s experience and preferences.

The fork lifting takes priority over other functions when activated at the same time. Contact an authorised CESAB service technician if this priority needs to be changed. The lever distance can be adjusted to suit the accompanying cover plates.
Product details Knob for adjusting the operating console position The operating console can be continuously adjusted for the most comfortable ope- rator position. • Loosen the knob (A) and then adjust the opera- ting console to the desired height. • Undo the knob (B) and then adjust the operating console to the desired angle.
Product details Operator’s seat The operator’s seat has an ergonomic design. It has an optimally shaped seatback and side sup- ports. The seat cushion has a unique design for maximum ergonomics. The operator’s seat can be adjusted forwards/backwards as required to attain the most comfortable operating position.
Product details Pedals Safety pedal (A) The left foot must be kept on the safety pedal when the parking brake is released. This prevents the foot from being caught if the truck collides with an obstacle. Two optional functions can be controlled by the safety pedal: –...
Product details Accessories bar All models feature an integrated accessories bar that can accommodate a computer terminal, a PC, scanner or other electronic equipment required on board the truck. Also, optional voltage converters and adapters are available to facilitate installation of such equipment.
1000 8500 The R200 series trucks feature studs under the chassis. The studs are close to the surface (15 mm), which implies that they may hit against obstructions during nor- mal operation. If they present an obstruction (on models R212 and R214), they can be disassembled without affecting the truck capacity.

Technical information Floor requirements There are no special floor requirements for reach trucks, except the floors must be perfectly level. This is especially important when lifting to high heights, since the mast remain vertical even when extended to the maximum lift height. Additionally, the floor must be able to hold the weight of the truck and the wheel pressure when fully loaded.

Options Options Load support The load support increases the stability of the load when handling high loads. It also reduces the risk of goods falling from the forks onto the operator. The standard height is 1000 mm, but 750, 850, 900, 950 mm and 1100–1600 mm in increments of 100 mm can be ordered.
Options Height indicator and height pre-selection The height indicator provides information about the current fork height. (Standard on the R216 for lift heights from 6.3 metres. Option for lower lift heights.) The current height is shown on the display, ergonomically placed immediately below the overhead guard.
Options Fork tilt angle +4°/-0,5° 4°/-2° is standard. A tilt angle of +4°/-0.5° means that when the forks are tilted in the lowered position, the forks are more or less horizontal. This minimises the need for a tilt indicator. Available on: R214 and R216 Warning light A warning light can be mounted on the truck to warn persons in close proximity when the truck is...

Options Operator’s seat The operator’s seat is available in various designs, e.g. with a textile cover with a low or high back- rest. To suit different operating environments, the operator’s seat with high backrest is available with seat heating and textile or leather imitation cover. Seat belt To improve safety, the operator’s seat can be fitted with a seat belt.
Options Overhead guard for drive-in racking An additional protection for small falling objects to protect the driver on top of the overhead guard when drive in rack. Battery replacement equipment – Roller bed A roller bed can be installed on all R200. The battery rests on the sup- port arms, not the rollers, during operation.

LE 03 is displayed and the Lower stop lights. 2) Raise the forks using the lift lever. The forks automatically stop at the selected lift height. 3) Enter the forks into the fork tunnels and lift the pallet using the lift lever.
