Frequently Asked Questions
This reach truck is specifically designed for narrow aisles and high-level racking. Its mast can 'reach' forward to pick up or drop off loads while keeping the load's center of gravity within the wheelbase. This eliminates the need for the massive rear counterweight found on standard forklifts, resulting in a highly compact chassis and a much tighter turning radius—making it the ultimate choice for indoor high-density warehousing.
Not at all. The high-performance Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery standard on this model completely eliminates the need for watering, equalizing, and the regular maintenance associated with traditional lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, it supports plug-and-play opportunity charging, allowing operators to quickly recharge during coffee breaks or shift changes to easily sustain high-intensity, continuous operations.
Yes. Because this machine is equipped with a high-capacity Li-ion battery to handle heavy-duty, high-level stacking tasks, it comes standard with an external Three-Phase charger. This ensures a very high charging current and maximum efficiency, rapidly restoring the truck to full power in a short amount of time and minimizing downtime.
