Ergonomic truck

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Impact Handling has introduced the latest Cat Lift Trucks technology with the unveiling of the new NR-N2 range of reach trucks.

This next-generation model has been designed to help busy warehouse operations increase profitability by maximising performance and cutting running costs.

 

Key to the new truck’s productivity is advanced Cat Lift Trucks technology called the Responsive Drive System (RDS), which boosts productivity thanks to a series of advanced mast handling features. RDS is able to speed up lifting and lowering, smooth out starts and stops during reach movements and gives the operator accurate control of tilting and side-shifting. It also delivers high load stability and minimal sway, with a choice of user-set performance modes or engineer-customised settings for different needs.

Maximum lift from the poweRamic mast is an impressive 13 metres, and capacity retention at high lifts is the best in this class. Customers also have the option of a pre-set height selector which is easy to use and allows for faster and safer stacking.

From the driving seat operators benefit from all-round visibility thanks to the design of the mast, fork carriage and overhead guard. A low seating position enables easy access to the cabin, with generous headroom, whilst a redesigned and adjustable armrest ensures perfect hand-positioning. Spring-forced optimised fingertip hydraulic controls or, if preferred, an intuitive joystick control option, enable easy handling and increased ergonomics. A range of safety features include automated control aids to reduce speed according to steering angle and lift height.
