Lower cost of ownership

• Li‑ion batteries provide long service life, high energy efficiency and extended runtime without battery swaps, watering or similar maintenance.
• Simple servicing design reduces downtime and service costs.
• Durable construction minimises repair needs and supports reliable operation.
• Effective sealing protects critical components from water ingress.
• Front and rear super‑elastic tyres extend service life and reduce vibration‑related wear on components.
• Non‑marking super‑elastic tyre option reduces floor cleaning frequency.
• Cabin‑ready overhead guard enables quick, low‑cost cabin installation.
• Cold‑store modification (down to −18°C) preserves performance in very low temperatures.

Productivity

• Li‑ion technology supports fast onboard and opportunity charging so battery exchanges are unnecessary and trucks are available when needed.
• Super‑elastic tyres maintain consistent performance on uneven floors.
• Integrated and external charger options: integrated for convenience and space saving (plug‑in), external for faster charging and high‑demand use.
• Simplex and triplex mast options: simplex for cost‑effective single‑stage lifting; triplex for greater lift heights and versatile rack access.
• Standard hook‑on side shift simplifies and speeds pallet positioning.
• Optional fork positioner with side shift increases adaptability for varied loads.
• Optional higher travel and lift speed improves throughput for intensive handling tasks.

Safety

• Familiar, intuitive controls including conventional hydraulic levers enable easy operation with minimal training.
• Optional fingertip levers for hydraulics and forward/reverse deliver precise control with low effort.
• Seat suspension reduces vibration and improves operator comfort.
• Optional luxury seat enhances ergonomics and reduces operator fatigue.
• Spacious operator compartment allows freedom of movement and clear visibility.
• Super‑elastic tyres further reduce vibration exposure for the operator.
• Glass roof option (or PVC roof on three‑wheel models) protects against falling objects and enhances upward visibility while keeping the driver dry.
• Optional front window with wiper maintains clear view in rain or dust.
• Complete weatherproof cabin option available for wet or cold environments.
• Road light kit (front/rear work lights, indicators, hazard lights) improves on‑site and road visibility.
• Rear blue spot projects onto the floor to warn pedestrians of a reversing truck.
• Strobe light option increases visibility to pedestrians and other operators in low light or outdoor conditions.
• Reverse warning buzzer alerts nearby workers to potential hazards.
• Parabolic rear‑view mirror enhances all‑round vision and reduces blind spots during manoeuvring.
• Li‑ion battery chemistry eliminates the risk of hazardous gas or acid leaks.
