STILL revamps EXH low lift pallet trucks
The manufacturer has enhanced its portfolio with the EXH series of low lift pallet trucks and EXD series of double stacker trucks now coming with a fixed stand-on platform.
There are three variants of the fixed stand-on platform on the two new STILL models: with a rear entry driver’s workplace for frequent loading ramp movements, with a side entry for longer transport distances, or with a backrest when the order-picking of goods is the main focus. A feature shared by all variants is the air-damped stand-on platform to protect the operator’s back even in harsh working conditions. This system reduces body vibrations by up to 40%. Drivers can set the suspension to suit their own individual needs or body weight. An integrated air compressor is optionally available to allow this adjustment simply by pushing a button. This relieves physical stress, particularly when operators change often, and especially during long shifts or if there are frequent movements on the loading ramp. It also means maximum comfort for the driver when entering the truck: the platform’s entry height is very low, making it easier for the operator to access the truck. This is of great advantage during tasks involving frequent entering and leaving the truck, e.g. during order-picking or when loading and unloading goods vehicles.
Another comfort feature: the height-adjustable STILL Easy Drive steering wheel can be controlled with just one hand – by both left and right-handed operators. The STILL Easy Drive rocker switches guarantee not only sensitive, safe operation of the lift function, but also control of the driving, lifting and steering functions at the same time – and all without changing grip. An extra level of safety is provided by the optional foot sensor, which is available for the truck variant with a rear entry. This sensor detects whether the operator’s feet are within the truck’s contour. To ensure safety, the truck automatically reduces its speed when there is a contact with the photoelectric sensor.
The models are available with optional Li-Ion power.
The two newcomers are the slimmest trucks on the market, with a total width of only 720mm – and thus 80mm narrower than a Europallet lengthwise. Powerful driving and lifting motors give the EXH-S 20/25 a load-carrying capacity of up to 2,500 kg, and an (optional) top speed of incredible 14 km/h. This enables the “sprinter” among low lift pallet trucks to tackle all tasks reliably and quickly. The 5-wheel drive system guarantees optimum traction and high lateral stability, even on irregular floors.
