2.1 Truck
Safety mechanisms:
Safey gates positioned in load direction (option) and laterally (3,4).
The overhead guard (2) protects the driver from falling objects. The driver can be
optionally secured by a safety belt (7).
The Emergency Disconnect immediately disconnects all truck movement in
hazardous situations. Safety gates (3,4) in load direction (option) and on both sides
of the cabin disconnect all truck movement as soon as they open.
Travelling, lifting and lowering can only be activated when the foot button (10) is
applied.
When the truck is operating in narrow aisles and the pallet sensing device (11) is
not applied and/or the pallet clamp (12) is not closed, the driver’s platform (8) on
trucks without safety gates (3) in the load direction can only be raised to a height of
1.2 metres. If the lift height is more than 1.2m and one of the above conditions is not
met, only lowering is possible (travel is inhibited).
When the truck is operating outside narrow aisles the driver’s platform (8) on trucks
without safety gates (3) in the load direction can only be raised to a height of 1.2 m.
Drive:
Vertical, heavy-duty threephase motor (asynchronous), hence easy and rapid
maintenance. The motor is mounted directly onto the single-wheel driving gear.
Brake system:
The truck brakes gently and with no wear by pulling back the travel control knob or
steering in the opposite direction. This feeds energy into the battery (service 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 manoeuvrability
in narrow aisles.
With the mechanical rail guidance system the drive wheel is set to the forward
position at the press of a button.
In wire guidance mode, steering is automatically assumed by the truck controller
when it detects the guidance wire, and manual steering is deactivated.
