Electric Forklift Trucks RX 20 1.4 – 2.0 t

Safety first: digital guided Pre-Shift Check

With the Pre-Shift Check in the on-board computer STILL Easy Control STILL achieves a new level of safety for the driver and the truck: before the start of each shift, or at user-defined intervals, the driver must confirm the operational capability of the truck via the on-board computer before he can put the truck into operation with all its functions.

The customer is free to choose the criteria of the safety check. In addition to the standard query, several individual queries can be stored in the display of the on-board computer. And if an answer is negative? The customer has all options.

For example, he can define in the system that the performance of the vehicle is automatically limited if a query shows a negative test result.

The visual warning system for fewer accidents

The blue warning light, STILL SafetyLight 4plus, significantly increases work safety in areas which are confusing or full of bends. The blue light spots are projected approx. 5 m in front of and behind the truck and warn people about the approaching truck to prevent impending collisions.

Perfect addition to the STILL SafetyLight

The STILL warning zone light projects two strips of light to the left and right of the forklift truck. The optional illumination equipment serves as a visual warning for pedestrians and other drivers in the vicinity by projecting luminescent strips on the hall floor at the sides of the forklift truck.

The STILL Warning Zone Light Plus projects a semi-circle around the rear of the truck. This also increases awareness of the truck and marks a typical danger zone when approaching. This reduces the risk of pedestrian injury.

The STILL Warning Zone Light and the STILL Warning Zone Light Plus therefore perfectly complement the STILL Safety Light, which projects a blue cone of light in the front of the truck in the direction of driving.

Safety in the warehouse is increased thanks to an acoustic signal during reversing. Colleagues are therefore able to notice the forklift truck even if they have their back to it.

With the breathalyser, the driver has to carry out an alcohol breath test before they can operate the truck. The truck is only released once the test has been passed. The advantage of the test is that it is very difficult to manipulate the results and can help to prevent accidents. Thanks to interchangeable mouthpieces, it is hygienically safe.

The broadband alarm is an audible alarm that emits a broadband signal tone. Over longer distances, the tone is drowned out by ambient noise. However, in the immediate environment the noise and thus the source of danger are very easy to locate. This increases awareness of the truck and prevents accidents.

Bracket systems protect drivers thanks to their stable structure and assembly within the truck contour. We also offer fitting and retrofitting for trucks with a rear windscreen. This does not restrict the freedom of movement or the all-round visibility of the driver, nor does it make getting on and off the truck more difficult. The manual system can be opened and closed by hand. The automatic system is coupled with the hand brake or accelerator pedal, and closes the bracket as soon as the truck begins to move.

The protective grille roof is available in a low or high version, according to the height of the passageways. It protects the driver from falling loads.

Owing to the EasyBelt, the seat belt is already diagonally taut over the driver's seat. When stepping aboard, the driver only needs to climb into the pre-tensed belt. The quick and convenient handling of the EasyBelt makes buckling up a breeze. How you benefit: Cost-effective addition to the belt which ensures that the driver is able to properly secure their seat belt without effort;

Enables quick seat belt fastening and unfastening, thus having a positive effect on productivity;

High comfort level within the driver's work space due to the quick and easy handling of the seat belt – resulting in a high acceptance level from forklift truck drivers;

Easy to retrofit – EasyBelt can easily be retrofitted onto your fleet's counterbalanced forklift trucks.

The wireless collision avoidance protects drivers, employees and trucks from dangerous situations, even without visibility. The system requires the truck to be pre-fitted with a set of antennae, a driver interface and a connection to the vehicle controller. It allows trucks, pedestrians and stationary wireless modules (e.g. on doors, entrances, hazard points) to communicate with each other. When trucks approach pedestrians, both parties receive an optical and acoustic warning (warning zone). In case of dangerous approaches (protection zone), they are alerted and interventions in the operation (braking) may be triggered. It therefore prevents ‘vehicle to pedestrian’ and ‘vehicle to vehicle’ collisions.

Keeping the goods in place: the load backrest stabilises the transported goods at the fork carriage back so that they can be securely transported from A to B.

The Reversing Alarm Plus prevents collisions and personal injury. It is a 3D camera-based assistance system for rear monitoring, and also detects the presence of people and objects. A rear view image is displayed on the monitor, whereby the system reliably distinguishes between pedestrians and objects and triggers an appropriate response, such as emitting a warning signal or braking.

EasyBelt

Owing to the EasyBelt, the seat belt is already diagonally taut over the driver's seat. When stepping aboard, the driver only needs to climb into the pre-tensed belt. The quick and convenient handling of the EasyBelt makes buckling up a breeze.

Advantages to you:

• Cost-effective addition to the belt which ensures that the driver is able to properly secure their seat belt without effort
• Enables quick seat belt fastening and unfastening, thus having a positive effect on productivity
• High comfort level within the driver's work space due to the quick and easy handling of the seat belt – resulting in a high acceptance level from forklift truck drivers
• Easy to retrofit – EasyBelt can easily be retrofitted onto your fleet's counterbalanced forklift trucks

Sauermann restraint system

This system is available in different variants – mechanical or electric. A bracket system is installed on the side of the forklift truck which can be opened either manually or automatically. Each option ensures the highest level of operator protection and enables drivers to climb in and out of the forklift quickly and easily.

The rear warning device alerts the driver to objects and pedestrians behind the truck. It comprises a radar-based rear monitoring sensor for obstacle detection and a light indicator with signal tone. The reach and width of the monitoring area can be individually configured. The light indicator and signal tone warn the driver of a potential collision.

Buckled up? If not, the seat belt control ensures that the driving speed is automatically reduced. In cab trucks, the system only engages when the cab door is open.

A flashing, warning or rotating light increases safety at the warehouse and makes other employees working in the warehouse aware of the forklift truck via a flashing yellow light signal. If preferred, this can be set to only light up when reversing. The use of this light increases safety particularly in areas where hearing protection is required to be worn. The rotating light is available in various designs and can be mounted on or behind the overhead guard.

Access control perfectly integrated into the truck with different types of access authorisation for one or more trucks: with FleetManager 4.x you are free to choose the type of access authorisation for one or more trucks: chip, FleetManager card, your personal plant ID card or a PIN.

Thanks to the smart auto-logout function, the trucks are automatically deactivated after a freely selectable period of time – this also increases safety.

If desired, you can limit the usage of your forklift truck to specific persons or groups of persons via access authorisation. Select whether the release of the truck should be carried out using a key switch or via a digicode system with ten configurable access codes (or PINs).

Digicode systems (PIN) are an easy way to prevent unauthorised use of the truck. The truck can be started up quickly and easily, simply by entering the PIN code. This allows the user to limit access authorisation to specific individuals or groups. It is possible to configure up to ten PIN codes.

Optimal visibility at all times: the optional panoramic overhead guard with armoured glass window provides improved visibility when storing and retrieving goods. It works entirely without the need for struts and of course meets all the safety standards of a standard overhead guard.

Automatic speed adjustment for curves

The speed limiter controlled by steering angle reduces possible damage to goods by adapting to an appropriate cornering speed. This assistance function is available for various forklift trucks and warehouse technology devices, and regulates the driving speed automatically according to the steering angle. In other words, the driver doesn’t need to worry about speed when cornering. The truck automatically decelerates precisely as much as necessary for the operator to drive as safely but as quickly as possible.

Lifting movements that adapt to the load? Stable idea!

Whether it's an inexperienced operator, careless movements or a particularly heavy load - there are various reasons for abrupt movements of the lifting hydraulics, which can quickly lead to goods breakage or even personal or vehicle damage. Dynamic Load Control brings calm to the mast. Feel how the assistance system makes load handling better and smoother. It detects the current load as well as the current lift height and automatically adjusts the speed of the lifting hydraulics before anything falters. In the second of two expansion stages, Dynamic Load Control also takes the load's center of gravity into account. In this way, it increases stability and prevents the vehicle from tipping forward - even with small weights and large load centers. The graphic stability index also shows you at a glance how stable the vehicle is on the ground with the current load and lifting height.

Fulfills lifting height requirements at the push of a button:

Whether the racks are to be filled or emptied - you know the game: look closely, extend the mast, maintain concentrated eye contact, stop the mast, readjust if necessary. Several times. In every shift. On every day. Now imagine that you could leave your sense of proportion behind. Imagine you could just press a button and wait for the forks to float to exactly the right height and stop there automatically. Imagine: You can. With the STILL lift limiter, the forks automatically stop at up to three programmable intermediate lift heights. And to ensure that your profitability, but not your trucks, goes through the roof, the maximum lift height can also be permanently programmed.

Seeing instead of estimating

With the help of the LED lift height sensor installed as standard, the lift height display ensures maximum precision from the first millimeter. This means that operators always know the height of the fork tips and can navigate precisely to avoid touching the rack when picking up the pallet. The system works with a repeatability of less than +/- 5 mm and the lift height is permanently shown to the drivers on the display.

The ceiling sensor detects low ceiling heights and prompts the driver to reduce their speed in order to promote general work safety in the warehouse. It comprises an ultrasonic sensor on the roof of the truck, which detects ceilings up to a height of 20 m. Depending on the sensor signal, the maximum speed is controlled, whereby the standard speed is 6 km/h.

Who can use which forklift truck for which area of application? How fast may a certain driver travel in the industrial truck?

The solution: our smart driver profiles in FleetManager 4.x. This web-based application allows the features of the truck to be adapted to the operator’s requirements, such as a reduction in travel, lifting or tilting speed or automatic activation of the lights.

The right driving programme for all requirements: the operator can choose between three established and two freely configurable driving programmes in the three operating modes: Blue-Q, normal and sprint mode. The driving programmes can be chosen according to the situation in order to achieve the maximum performance or energy efficiency.

Intelligent autopilot: the forklift’s Blue-Q (blue button) efficiency mode is activated at the touch of a button. An intelligent optimisation characteristic in the drive saves energy precisely where it is not impacted by the work process.

Up to 10% savings in energy consumption depending on the use profile and forklift equipment.

And everything is on the right track:

Safe and undamaged vertical parking or storage of goods: This is exactly what you can do from now on at the push of a button with the mast vertical position assistance system. Once the system is activated, all you have to do is tilt the mast forwards. As soon as the mast is in the upright position, it stops automatically. This means that you always get the goods to the floor in one piece and store them on the shelves more quickly, easily and safely.

Overload excluded:

If the forklift can still handle this load? A question that can quickly lead to injuries, vehicle or goods damage. Fortunately, there is overload detection. The system monitors the weight of the load and any attachments and always gives you a safe and clear answer. What's more, if the total weight exceeds the rated capacity or the set maximum load, the system actively intervenes and reduces the lifting speed. If the threshold value is exceeded by more than 10 percent, the lifting function is completely blocked. This means that the driver, vehicle and goods are always optimally protected.

The driver can see the tilt angle of the mast on the display. They therefore always have the highest degree of control over the loaded goods. The function is a real help during storage and retrieval as well, as the operator is able to precisely check if the forks are holding the pallet correctly.

The wireless zone detection promotes general work safety thanks to automatic speed reduction in certain areas or by opening doors when a truck is approaching. It comprises a wireless system (incl. antennae set, driver interface and connection to the vehicle controller), which allows the truck, pedestrians and stationary wireless modules (on doors, entrances and hazard points) to communicate with each other.

Autostop before ground contact:

When forks hit the ground, it's not pleasant for the ears, the floor or the forklift. But on the other hand, would it not be very pleasant if this would not happen in the first place? That's exactly why we developed the electric fork wear protection for you. When the assistance system is activated, it ensures that the forks cannot touch the ground during lowering. Shortly before that, they stop automatically - exactly so that you can thread them perfectly into the pallet. Forks dragging on the ground due to accidental startup in the lowered state are also a thing of the past.

Quiet lifting!

Strength lies in peace - this now also applies to your forklift trucks. Because the Silent Lift assistance system puts an end to noise during lifting and lowering operations. Smooth lift transitions, smooth storage and retrieval on the top shelf level, and an automatic stop of the forks before they hit the floor - all this promises you heavenly peace and quiet even when lifting and lowering the heaviest loads.

The automatic parking brake is applied automatically or at the push of a button, and prevents the truck from rolling. The electrohydraulic spring-loaded brake locks whenever the truck stops.

Equipping forklift trucks with a fire extinguisher can help prevent the risk of fire. This should be clarified as part of the risk assessment. This enables fast and direct action in case of fire, thus preventing major damage.

Windows can be broken with the emergency hammer provided.

The fork camera prevents damage to goods, personal injury due to falling loads, and collisions with the shelving. The system is mounted on the inner side of the fork tips and improves the visibility of the load, particularly at large lift heights, as the camera view is displayed on the driver’s monitor.

Forks up, speed down:

More safety, less product breakage and ensuring proper vehicle use - these are the benefits offered by the Speed Reduction assistance system when the fork carriage is raised. As soon as the forks reach a height of 500 mm (or another defined threshold), the speed of the vehicle is automatically reduced. Even if a driver forgets that he should not drive with the load raised, the assistance system slows him down, guaranteeing safe handling of the load and vehicle.

These LED headlights improve the lighting conditions to the sides of the tuck and reduce the glare effect as they do not reflect off the mast from behind. This way, higher rack areas are also illuminated.

The integrated horn is located on the handle to the rear of the overhead guard. The horn signal sounds at the push of a button. Thanks to this simple and ergonomic method of signalling, when reversing the driver can warn pedestrians in the area that the truck is approaching.

The camera systems for fork carriage, outer mast and rear offer improved visibility and thus help to prevent collisions with the warehouse infrastructure, as well as personal injury. The camera, which is attached to the truck according to its position, improves the driver’s vision of the environment by displaying an image on the driver’s monitor of everything that is captured by the camera in front and behind the truck.

The panoramic mirror, which can be mounted on the left or right side of the truck, improves visibility and reduces the size of the blind spot by expanding the field of vision. Drivers are able to get a quick overview of what’s behind them, allowing them to work more safely.

More safety, more comfort: the optional positioning laser projects the fork height with a green laser line on the carrier, thus serving as a visual extension of the fork. This facilitates orientation when storing and retrieving goods, as well as increasing both the handling capacity and the degree of safety. The positioning laser can be easily switched on and off at the touch of a button and poses no threat to the naked eye.

The reversing light is a long, multi-coloured light on the back of the truck, which automatically emits a constant red light during forward travel and switches automatically to a flashing white light when the truck is in reverse.

The reversing light increases the visibility of the truck and thus reduces the risk of accidents as other traffic and pedestrians are able to easily identify the direction of travel.

The light, which is protected by a U-shaped frame, is anti-glare and can be attached to various points on the truck.

Safe operation at all times: the LED daytime driving light ensures that the forklift truck is always clearly visible even in darker areas. A daytime driving light is available for various trucks.
