Application
The truck is an electric truck.The truck is designed to transport and pick goods on level
ground. Small items can be placed carried on the storage table. The low overall height and
platform height allow it to be driven through doorways. The low net weight means. that it can
travel on lifts.
The rated capacity is indicated on the data plate.
Operation only on paved level ground with sucient load-bearing capacity.
Do not exceed the permissible surface and spot load limits on the travel paths.
Operation only on travel paths that are visible and approved by the operating company.

Functional Description
B Truck Description
Safety mechanisms
The order picker geometry with rounded edges ensures safe handling of the truck.
Pressing the Emergency stop switch disconnects all electrical functions in hazardous
situations. Opening the gates will interrupt all driving and lifting / lowering operations
except mechanical emergency lowering of the platform. Before you can drive or lift the
dead man switch must be operated.
If the platform is lifted, the area under the platfom is checked by weight sensitve
switches to prevent any movement if an object or person is detected in that area.
Both hands must be at the control handles for driving and lifting to prevent injury of
hands sticking out. This safety feature can be deactivated by a switch in the control
area, than driving speed is limited to crawl speed.
Drive
The entire drive unit is enclosed in the order picker chassis.
The electronic traction controller ensures the smooth driving operation of the drive
motor and as a result smooth driving, powerful acceleration.
Brake system
The operator can brake gently and wear-free by pulling back the travel control button.
The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as both
parking and handbrake. Without electric power the springs will engage the brake.
Steering system
The steering controller is monitoring permanently the position of the steering wheel
and the drive wheel. In case of error the truck is stopped immediately. The steering
angle is shown on the display. The maximum steering angle is±90°.

Controls and Displays
The drive functions are activated via ergonomic thumb movement to ensure fatiguefree operation without stressing the wrists; sens. The display units show all important
driver information such as order picker status reports (e.g. faults), battery capacity
and time etc.
Hydraulic system
All hydraulic operations are controlled by a hydraulic pump.
Electrical system
The electrical system is powered by a 24V battery. Electronic controllers drive the
traction motor (AC), steering and lifting.
