The standard truck has a well balanced design for every day work. Adding options will make this productive truck ‘even better suited for special applications in difficult environments. Dust Prevention and Clogging Prevention packages offer further protection against harsh working conditions. Stevedoring ‘Stevedoring applications are often multiple-shift (24/7), outside and sometimes in coastal areas or sea ports. IC trucks are the preferred product to support this application Timber Forkforkit trucks on timber yards nearly always operate outside on uneven roads with very wide loads. Productivity (stability and residual capacity) is significantly improved when the truck is equipped with dual drive wheels {factory option). Brick and Block ‘These applications are often dusty and require trucks equipped with ‘additional fiters to avoid dust reaching delicate fuel, transmission or hydraulic parts (special air fiter, hydraulic fiter, brake booster filters, etc.) Dedicated option packages are available. Dual drive wheels are recommended in situations with uneven floors and high stacking is required. A side-shifter can provide precise stacking. Some brick and block applications involve dual pallets and require four forks or special clamps. ‘SMM 013 Poteet Ey sob LL Applications Concrete & Clay Pipe ‘This type of application is often dusty and requires additional filters. A Dust Prevention option package will help to shield the engine against the damaging effects of dust. Also special attachments (poles) are used in this, industry Recycling & Metal Industry In the recycling industry trucks should be protected with a Clogging Prevention package (option). This package will prevent clogging of the radiator with lint and small parts of paper. It prevents the engine from overheating.

R ‘SMM 013 11-2010 MITSUBISHI De Be Electronic parking brake IPS2 system Operator Position Parking brake ‘The parking brake mechanism is of the ‘negative brake activation’ type and built into the transmission unit. The park brake is released by applying hydraulic pressure, without pressure the park brake is activated. Without hydraulic pressure available, a special bolt is needed to mechanically release the park brake, 1Ps2 Innormal operation your forklift truck will drive in a creep mode when the direction lever is placed in the forward or reverse position at engine idling (not pressing the accelerator pedal). The driving interlock system will not allow the forklft truck's transmission to stay in the forward or reverse position when you are out of the operator's seat. If the operator leaves the operator's seat for 3 seconds, a switch in the operator's seat activates the driving interlock system. This action causes the system to cut power and to electrically shift the transmission to neutral. The transmission will disengage but the direction lever will not physically move to the neutral position. To reactivate the transmission, sit in the operator's seat and place the direction lever to the neutral position and back to the direction of travel The parking brake will work when the forklift truck is on level ground, synchronizing with the driving interlock. However, when the forklift truck is on an incline, the forklift truck will start to move in the direction of the downgrade, Even ifthe driving interlock system is activated, the forklft truck ‘may move in the direction of the downgrade when the forkift truck Js on a grade. In this case, apply the brakes and sit securely in the operator's seat, Overhead guard ‘The overhead guard is designed to protect the operator while allowing maximum forward and upward Visibilly.

The Finite Element Modelling (FEM) design process used by our designers does just that. FEM utilises computer programs to model the truck frame. Loads are applied to the computer frame and the computer mathematically calculates the stresses incurred by the frame. Once the stresses are identified, engineers can make changes to the frame “model” to eliminate or reduce the stresses, This process is repeated nti a desired frame model is achieved. Then the actual frame is built and further stress testing is done to confirm the computer results. ‘The complete frame assembly consists of two side frames, tanks, a rear ccross-member, a front crass member, front and rear towers to mount the head guard on. The front dashboard is bolted to the frame. A’unitized” frame construction simply means all of these sub-weldments are welded together to produce a one piece frame weldment. “Unitize” construction provides ‘exceptional frame rigidity and maintenance free durabilly.The hydraulic tank is located on the right side while the fuel tank is located on the left side of the frame. Both tanks are completely integrated and are a structural part of the chassis Three different frames are used for the truck depending on the capacity of the truck.

Industrial strength 6- Diesel engine cylinder diese! engine ‘The industrial-strength 6-cylinder in-line Mitsubishi Heavy Industries S6S engine was specifically designed for use in industrial fork trucks. it offers excellent power and reliability, The Mitsubishi S6S diesel has eamed the reputation of an ‘environmentally friendly’ engine because ofits low emissions, low noise, and good fuel economy. The SBS is a smooth running diesel engine which generates very litle vibration, Two important design features contribute to this feature: the crankshattis precision balanced both statically and dynamically, and specially tuned rubber engine mounts are used at the fan end of the engine to reduce vibration. Inherently a six cylinder engine produces fewer vibrations than a four cylinder (most competitors offer 4-cyinder engines on this class of trucks). To further increase strength and durabilty, the crankshaft is botted to the engine block with seven main bearings. This means that itis supported at each journal of the crankshaft and also at both ends. Collectively, these design features result in a strong, durable and very smooth running diese! engine, ‘The $6S is an indirect diesel with swirltype pre combustion chamber. Fuel is injected first into the pre combustion chamber for initial combustion of the atomized fuel, followed by complete burning in the cylinder. 0 ‘SMM 013 Peete Product Details This design reduces combustion noise, increases torque output at lower ‘engine speeds, guarantees perfect combustion, very low emissions and reduces diesel smell Most diesel engines require a water separator to prevent engine fouling due to condensation (water particles) in the fuel.
