LIFT TRUCKS SERIES "F12" - "F16" - "F18"

The lift trucks series F12 – F16 and F18 have been designed and made by C.V.S. S.p.A.
expressly to handle various kinds of load units, containers between 20' and 40', special loads,
etc., trying to optimise the compromise among maximum operational functionality and comfort
for the operator.

They are used in port and interport terminals.

dry disk-brake, fitted on the power takeoff of the front driving axle; actuated by a spring
braking element, electric controlled from the driver's cab.
The parking brake is automatically activated turning the ignition key to 0 “OFF”.

Hydraulic system
Piston pump with variable flow rate, fitted on the power takeoff of the transmission, Load Sensing.
The movements of the mast and of the forks are operated by means of levers with proportional
control, exception made for the twistlock and 20' - 40' telescoping controls (if fitted) of the on-off-type.
The hydraulic system is equipped with an air-oil heat exchanger (cooling spiral on the radiator)
