Operators can work efficiently and with ease thanks to the combination of a multifunction joystick and palm steering unit, both mounted on floating, adjustable armrests for ergonomic comfort. With a narrow 1.12-metre chassis and excellent visibility, these trucks are well-suited for confined warehouse environments.

Intelligent speed control adjusts drive and hydraulic performance automatically based on steering angle and lift height, ensuring responsive yet safe handling. Tilting masts come as standard, and an optional Mast Tilt Control (MTC) damping system further enhances stability.

Built for durability, the trucks feature wear-resistant components, an intuitive display with built-in diagnostics, and quick-access service points to minimise downtime and reduce costs. Additional cost-saving touches include a rugged drive wheel and in-truck battery inspection access.

All three models share the compact chassis design, with the NR14N3C also offering a tapered overhead guard (optional) for drive-in racking and optional rail guidance wheels. A wide range of programmable settings and customisable options ensures each truck is tailored to both application and operator requirements.

LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP

  • Robust construction minimises damage and wear, even in demanding multi-shift operations.
  • Heavy duty drive wheel is highly durable and easy to maintain, with a larger diameter, extra width and unique tread design which increase grip and stability as well as lifetime.
  • User-friendly display encourages correct use of truck.
  • PIN code identification and programmability prevent unauthorised use and allow matching of truck performance settings to driver experience and application.
  • Easy battery access enables driver to make quick checks without leaving the truck.
  • Fast service access to systems and components reduces downtime.

UNMATCHED PRODUCTIVITY

  • Automatic drive speed reduction makes smooth adjustments according to steering angle and fork height to maintain stability, safety and confidence when cornering or carrying raised loads.
  • Automatic hydraulic motion control optimises lift, lower, reach, tilt and side shift speeds according to lift height and keeps all movements smooth, quiet and precise. (Standard on NR14N3C, optional on others.)
  • Mast Tilt Control (MTC) damping system reduces oscillations by up to 80%, allowing faster and more stable load handling.
  • Tilting mast reduces aisle width necessary and enhances safety of handling.
  • 360-degree steering option enables fluid turning without stopping to change direction.
  • Fast travel and lift speeds come as standard.
  • Small chassis (1.12 m wide) is ideal for working in tight spaces.
  • Drive-in racking adaptations on NR14N3C include the options of tapered overhead guard and extra wheels for rail guidance.

SAFETY AND ERGONOMICS

  • Palm Steering on adjustable floating armrest offers relaxed driving position and operation with minimal movement, effort or strain – ideal if driver is seated for long periods.
  • Multifunctional joystick with adjustable armrest fits hand perfectly, positions all hydraulic controls optimally, minimises effort and enables precise individual and simultaneous actions.
  • Optional fingertip hydraulic controls with adjustable armrest ensure ergonomically perfect hand positioning, anatomical support and free movement.
  • Spacious driver’s compartment with high roof safely and comfortably accommodates users of all sizes.
  • Excellent all-round view is enabled by design of mast, fork carriage, overhead bars, pillars and chassis, and by use of dark, non-reflective paint.
  • Intuitive display keeps drivers fully informed and is optimally positioned and angled for clear viewing.
  • Direction control is switched using accelerator pedal, leaving right hand free to concentrate on hydraulic functions.
  • Automotive pedal layout is intuitive to car drivers, while ‘dead man’ safety switch is effortlessly activated by the weight of the left foot.
  • Smooth entry and exit are aided by ergonomic grab handles and low intermediate step with non-slip surface.
  • Standard safety features include operator presence switch, mast lock system and automatic parking brake.
