TCM launches electric forklift truck
THE FHB40-55 counterbalance truck is designed to be comfortable for operators and easy to use, even on long shifts.
Ergonomic controls and seating allow operators to take control with minimal effort. The mini steering wheel provides precise control and means that visibility is better than in most forklifts.
The truck’s hydraulic levers are positioned for maximum comfort, and electronic finger-tip control means that operators can carry out every operation they need to, without needing to lift their hand – even if they’re wearing gloves.
This truck is said to run almost silently and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation. It has internal climate control to allow operators to easily adjust to their environment, with integrated air conditioning and heat. There is excellent ventilation, with windows that open easily when needed.
The TCM FHB40-55 electric truck has an obstacle-free design that gives operators a clear, all-round view of their surroundings from the cabin, even when enclosed.
Advanced driver assistance calculates and adjusts speeds automatically. The hill hold function prevents the truck from rolling backwards when on a ramp, and load sensing monitors the truck’s lift, tilt, speed and load weights to make automatic performance adjustments.
Safety lights activate automatically as needed depending on the direction of travel. They also define safe boundaries around the truck for nearby workers.
The power boost accelerator can be activated for an instant power boost, such as when travelling uphill or for particularly heavy loads. The FHB40-55 comes with a choice of lead acid or lithium-ion batteries, so you can decide which battery type works best for your operation. There are four capacities available: 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 tonnes.
