Safe and easy picking
June 1st 2008 Toyota Material Handling
(TMH) has added two new
low-level order pickers to its
warehouse equipment
range.
The BT Opus OSE180X
and BT Opus OSE180XP are
designed for first- and
second-level picking in highintensity
operations. With a
maximum load capacity of
1800kg, they have the same
features, except that Opus
OSE180XP has a lifting
platform for easier secondlevel
picking.
E-man steering provides a
logical, easy-to-use interface
between operator and truck
for safe, highly productive
picking. A mini tiller arm has
power-assisted steering for
safe operation with one
hand. Adjustable sideways
steering means the tiller arm
can be positioned to the left
or right-hand side of the
truck.
Logical placement of
driver controls makes it easy
for operators to learn to
operate the truck, while
power-assisted steering
allows the driver's arms to
always remain within the
profile of the truck, for
added safety. Automatic
speed reduction when
cornering also reduces the
risk of accidents.
Regenerative braking,
along with CAN-bus
technology, allows for
maximum up-time, quick
and easy maintenance and
less wear on components. More articles from Toyota Material Handling (UK) Ltd: |
