ETVC 16 Reach Truck Ideal Solution For Loading And Unloading In Outdoor And Indoor Applications



ETVC 16 Retrak®, a reach truck that features reach mast technology and requires 30 percent less aisle space for storing or retrieving loads, is available from Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., Richmond, Va. The reach truck, designed with high-traction tires for outdoor use and narrow profile for indoor applications, has an ergonomic operator cab with all switches and controls within easy reach.

Typical applications are found in a host of industrial and commercial applications, such as: grocery stores and food distribution centers, do-it-yourself home centers and lumber yards, industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants, processing facilities and assembly lines, among others.

The truck's extra strong open mast design provides an unobstructed view of loads and the reach legs extend up to 35.4 inches. A special "solo-pilot" control lever allows the operator to manipulate all hydraulics, travel direction, lifting functions and horn with minimal effort. The 3-wheel, ETVC truck has an AC-powered 48 volt electric motor that provides increased performance while reducing maintenance. Extended operating cycles are achieved by a "regenerative" braking system that helps recover battery energy. Also, AC power provides faster acceleration and increased travel and lifting speeds.

ETVC Truck Details

The trucks handle loads up to 6,000 pounds, reach travel speeds of 12.4 mph, lift speeds of 108 ft/min and offer a real alternative to combustion trucks, even when using heavy attachments. A totally enclosed drive axle, which includes motors, gears and multiple disc brakes is completely maintenance-free.

Dust and moisture-protected axle and enclosed AC controllers in combination with super-elastic tires allow the truck to be operated indoors as well as outdoors without compromise.

A new AC controller enables the truck to stop automatically on any gradient when the accelerator pedal is released. For safety reasons travel speed is automatically reduced when driving around curves. Maintenance costs are drastically reduced when using AC power technology that eliminates conventional components such as contactors and brushes. Typical service intervals are recommended at six months or 1,000 hours. Five individually adjustable travel programs are available -- from highest performance to energy saving. The truck also consumes up to 30% less energy than conventional electric forklifts.
