Low on costs, high on safety
October 1st 2007

A 3.5t electric counterbalance truck has been launched by TCM. The FB35-7 is said to offer low operating costs and high levels of safety and comfort.

It has an advanced electronic AC control system and is powered by a 72V battery which offers 8.5h operation time per battery charge. The FB35-7 has three energy modes to allow users to extend operation times to up to 9h in economy mode.

Super mode offers 8h use at high speeds to 16 km/h. No laptops are required to access the trucks settings and maintenance access is simple and easy. AC brings low maintenance costs, good braking efficiencies and shorter stopping times with accelerator-off braking.

Inside the truck, drivers can change lift and travel speed settings through dashboard. According to the manufacturer, the truck has a lowest-in-class step height reducing driver fatigue by up to 10%.
