BENEFITS OF EACH FUNCTION:

• Improved steering and turning capacity

3 wheel forklifts automatically reduce the space required to turn, which makes it easier to turn in aisle spaces. By using a 3 wheel forklift you can create more racking space to store more produce or products if you need to maximise storage space. This also improves the overall manoeuvrability when operating the forklift, as well as traction for increased stability.

• Advanced safety with increased traction

Increase the level of safety in your warehouse by choosing a forklift that has an anti-rollback mechanism. Prevent accidents, injuries and hazardous situations using the anti-roll back function that automatically detects if a forklift is on an incline and adjusts braking electrically to improve the operator’s overall control of the forklift.

• Longer Hours of Operation 

Increase your productivity with the longer hours of operation between charges. The TX Series forklift uses smart technology that stores energy based on consumption providing longer hours of operation. The regenerative system stores unused power and is self-regulates it’s performance to reduce energy wastage. It also features an automatic power-off function to store charge when the operator is not sitting in the cab.

• Simpler battery maintenance

Single point watering system connects all the battery terminals together in turn making maintenance simpler. Experience longer lasting battery performance, safer maintenance as well as longer life.

• In-Built Self Diagnosis System

The digital screen provides helpful information about how the forklift is operating providing necessary information about performance, hours of use, battery consumption and fault identification. Electric failures can be difficult to identify fault origins and having this information at hand can be useful to reduce expensive repairs.

• You’re making an environmentally responsible decision when you purchase an electric forklift because they don’t burn fossil fuels.
• The total cost of ownership of the lifetime of using and owning an electric forklift works out to be less with the no ongoing fuel costs.
• You actually have more flexibility in applications than purchasing a reach truck and IC forklift truck because they 3 wheels can be used indoors and outdoors.

You can generally do more applications with a 3 wheel electric forklift.
