Typical Applications

Ideal for demanding environments, this electric forklift is suited to a wide range of industries including:

  • Food and beverage manufacturing
  • Fishing and seafood processing
  • Chemical, textile, and rubber sectors
  • General and cold storage warehousing
  • Heavy machinery and equipment handling
  • Electrical and electronic component production

Built Around the Operator

At the heart of this forklift is a design that responds seamlessly to the operator’s input. Advanced sensors and smart control systems work together to deliver smooth, intuitive handling that boosts productivity and comfort. The truck adapts in real-time to driving and hydraulic inputs, allowing operators to feel fully connected and in control.

The driving experience is enhanced with Responsive Drive System 2 (RDS2), which continually adjusts performance to match the speed and precision of the driver’s movements. Every motion—acceleration, braking, lifting, and lowering—is optimised for effortless control and stability.

Intelligent Steering and Manoeuvrability

Whether you’re moving at speed or navigating tight aisles, the truck’s adaptive steering system fine-tunes responsiveness based on current travel speed. Fast driving becomes more stable, while low-speed manoeuvres are light and precise.

Four-wheel models feature advanced curve control, coordinating front drive motors and rear steering for safe, stable cornering. A +100° rear axle turn allows tight rotations and even sideways movement. Meanwhile, three-wheel versions benefit from 360° steering, enabling smooth directional changes without stopping—ideal for compact, high-intensity operations.

Smart Hydraulic Performance

The load-sensing hydraulic system automatically adjusts based on the weight being lifted, ensuring consistent control across all mast movements. Whether lifting light or heavy loads—or using multiple hydraulic functions simultaneously—the response remains smooth and predictable.

To reduce mast sway, the truck uses passive sway control, enhanced by a solid mast structure and low-friction components. Optional features automatically modify hydraulic behaviour and limit acceleration when lifting above 2–3.5 metres, offering even more control during elevated handling.

Comfort & Visibility

Operators benefit from a spacious, ergonomic cabin with wide access and easy entry. The seat and steering column are fully adjustable to support long shifts, while the slim dashboard and one-spoke wheel offer excellent visibility in all directions. Controls are thoughtfully placed, including adjustable armrests with intuitive fingertip controls or optional joystick configurations.

A steering knob synchronisation system ensures the knob resets to the 8 o’clock position when straightened—improving accuracy and reducing fatigue.

Customised to Your Application

For ultra-tight working areas, choose a compact chassis version—available in both three-wheel and four-wheel configurations. The compact three-wheel models excel in shuttle applications and narrow aisles.

A wide range of optional extras help you tailor the truck to your needs, including:

  • High-visibility overhead guards with durable polycarbonate fronts
  • SmoothFlow hydraulic tuning for load handling precision
  • PowerBurst for increased torque on demand
  • Electric differential lock for improved traction on heavier models
  • Efficient motors with high RPM range give better precision in acceleration control, create more torque at low speeds and reduce energy consumption.
  • Responsive Drive System 2 (RDS2) traction tuning adapts performance rapidly in reaction to speed of pedal operation, and ensures all movements, stops and starts are smooth.
  • Responsive Drive System 2 (RDS2) mast tuning adjusts constantly to the driver’s hydraulic control behaviour, ensuring optimally matched functionality, sensitivity and reaction speed for the best possible operator experience.
  • PowerBurst option automatically delivers extra torque to maintain ramp speed or provide strong acceleration, even when carrying heavy loads.
  • Variable steering ratio and steering force are continuously optimised for different travel speeds.
  • Advanced curve control co-ordinates the two front-wheel drive motors and rear steer axle motor to optimise turning speed, stabilise fast sideways movements of the counterweight, and prevent tilting when straightening after highspeed turns.
  • Dual drive ‘4-wheel steering’ with a +100° rear turning axle provides smooth and agile manoeuvring, including instant side turns with no need to push back.
  • Electric differential lock option maximises grip on slippery surfaces by locking front wheels to increase traction (activated automatically at small steering angles or manually via an optional pedal function).
  • Optional SmoothFlow hydraulic system automatically adjusts to load weight, ensuring fast but smooth and precise control of all mast and fork actions – whether individual or simultaneous.
  • Passive sway control keeps automatic parking brake open during lifts, so mast sway energy can be absorbed by chassis.
  • As standard, truck acceleration and hydraulic performance is automatically limited at lifts from 3.5 metres for steady, controlled handling. As an option, this feature can be set to activate at lifts above 2 metres.
  • Market-leading SilentRun+ hydraulic pumps (optional) plus quiet drive units and other lownoise technologies keep driver comfortable and stress-free, increase awareness of surrounding activity and avoid disturbing neighbours and co-workers.
  • Pre-set ECO and PRO modes can be selected for different drivers and tasks, or customised settings can be applied by service engineers.
  • Inclined and narrow dashboard, one-spoke steering wheel and optimised free lift cylinder structure maximise forward, downward and side visibility.
  • Dual joystick option separates functions such as clamp opening, to avoid accidental moves, and is especially useful if fingertip levers are too small for operation with gloves (or large hands).
  • Multifunctional colour display gives easy-to-read information – in operator’s language – with helpful symbols.
