Energy efficient pallet trucks
February 1st 2009 Briggs Equipment has
launched two new high-spec
stand-on and sit-on Cat
power pallet trucks.
Reported to provide
ergonomic, productive and
cost-effective materials
handling solutions, they
make light work of even the
heaviest handling duties.
The top-of-the-range
machines combine energy
efficiency for optimimum uptime
with enhanced operator
comfort and safety. Built for
demanding warehouse
applications such as the
movement of pallets
weighing up to two tonnes,
the trucks both feature a
360° electronic steering
system that ensures excellent
manoeuvrability with
minimum effort and greater
stability when negotiating
bends or corners, with or
without a load.
Speed and acceleration
are fully definable as part of
a range of programmable
functions. The two trucks
also provide a cost-efficient
solution with their
economical energy usage
and regenerative braking
(used to feed power back
into the battery during
braking operations).
In keeping with the Cat
Lift Truck range supplied by
Briggs, the new pallet trucks
feature easy servicing and
maintenance for optimised
up-time. The units use AC
power which runs for longer
between services and is
simpler to service than DC
units. Built-in diagnostics
and quick-access panels help
keep downtime to a
minimum whenever
servicing is required. More articles from Briggs Equipment UK Ltd: |
