Functional Description

Chassis
The chassis, in conjunction with the counterweight, forms the supporting base
structure of the truck. It is used to support the main components.
Operator position and overhead guard
The overhead guard (2) comes in a range of models and protects the driver from
falling objects and other external
influences. All the controls are ergonomically arranged. The steering column and
driver's seat can be adjusted individually.
The controls and warnings on the control and display unit (5) enable the system to be
monitored during operation, thereby ensuring a very high level of safety.
Steering
The steer cylinder of the hydrostatic steering is integrated in the steer axle (12) and
is controlled by the power steering. The steer axle is fully floating in the chassis to
ensure excellent grip even on non-level surfaces.
Wheels
There is a choice of super elastic or fully rubber tyres as well as optional pneumatic
tyres.
Drive system and brakes
The front drive provides maximum traction to the drive wheels at all times. The
hydraulic oil bath multi-plate brakes form the operating brake and are practically
maintenance-free. The transmission encapsulation allows the truck to be used even
in hostile environments. The drive motor also decelerates to a halt. This minimizes
energy consumption.
The parking brake applies approx. 15 seconds when the truck comes to a halt or 1 to
15 seconds (adjustable) after the driver's seat has been vacated.
The parking brake is automatically released again when the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
