Long load handling made easier
June 1st 2008 Sichelschmidt has
developed a multidirectional
forklift to ease
the handling of long loads.
The company says steel,
timber, plastic and metal
sectors could benefit from
the M900's flexibility.
The M900 will operate in
aisle-widths identical to the
truck's length, making it
more economical with space
than some conventional
reach trucks. As the driver's
seat is front facing, the
complete load is constantly
visible for easier
manoeuvring and cornering.
Sensitive electronic steering
enables exact handling of
loads and an elective
steering
programme allows
precise steering in
sideways as well as
in forward mode,
turning a 4-way
forklift into a multidirectional
one.
Sideways
travel is
activated by
the push of a button, and
hydraulic fork positioners
allow the truck to handle
not only long, but also
palletised loads.
The M900
features AC
drive technology.
The powerful
48 Volt ASM
motor enables
high volume
handling with
low energy
consumption,
and the
hydraulic
three-point brake
provides a smooth and safe
drive. The ergonomics aim
to provide easy access to
and from the cab with
optimum layout of
instrumentation.
The M900 is available
with lift capacities of 2t, 2.5t
and 3t, with reach heights
of up to 8.5m.
Sichelschmidt's flexible
manufacturing process
enables individual customer
requirements to be catered
for.
