Inching device
This function is especially suitable for lift trucks. It allows to reduce the driving speed infinitely
variable without modification of the engine speed in such a way that driving with a very low speed
will be possible. In his way, the driver can move the vehicle very exactly to a determined position.
At the same time and important part of the engine power for the output of the hydraulic system is
at disposal by the high engine speed.
Operation is carried out by a separate inching pedal, where an angle of rotation sensor is
mounted.
By means of the proportional valve technology the TCU regulates the pressure in the driving
direction clutch in such a way that the driving speed is adjusted in accordance with the inch
rotating angle sensor position. Clutch overloading is avoided thanks to the electronic protection.
