2.1 Truck
Safety mechanisms: An enclosed truck geometry with rounded edges ensures safe
handling of the truck. The overhead guard protects the driver from falling objects.
The Emergency Disconnect switch immediately cuts out all truck movements in
hazardous situations. Safety gates on either side of the cab disable all truck
movements as soon as they are opened.
Travelling and lifting can only be activated when the foot switch is pressed.
Drive:
Vertically mounted, heavy duty AC motor (asynchronous). The motor is directly
attached to the single-wheel driving gear, ensuring rapid and trouble-free
maintenance.
Brake system:
– The truck can be braked gently and wear-free by pulling back the travel control
button or steering in the opposite direction. This feeds energy into the battery
(operating brake).
– The electromagnetic spring pressure brake acting on the drive motor serves as a
parking brake and handbrake.
– EKS 513-515 only:
Depending on the lift height, the load wheel brake acting on the front axle (hydraulic
brake) is only activated when the EMERGENCY DISCONNECT switch is pressed
or if the truck is set to EMERGENCY STOP.
Steering:
Particularly smooth steering with threephase drive system. The handy steering wheel
is integrated within the control panel. The position of the steered drive wheel is shown
in the control panel display unit. The steering angle is +/- 90°, offering maximum
manoeuvrability in narrow aisles.
With the mechanical rail guidance system the drive wheel is set to the forward
position at the press of a button.
In wire guidance mode, steering is automatically assumed by the truck controller
when it detects the guidance wire, and manual steering is deactivated.
Controls and Displays
The functions are activated via ergonomic thumb movement to ensure fatigue-free
operation without stressing the wrists; sensitive application of travel and hydraulic
movements to spare and position the goods exactly.
Integrated information display unit for all important driver information such as steering
wheel position, overall lift, truck status reports (e. g. faults), service hours, battery
capacity, time and inductive guidance status etc.

Hydraulic system:
All hydraulic movements are controlled by a maintenance-free AC motor with a
flanged low emission gear pump. Oil is distributed via magnetic switch valves. The
varying oil requirements are controlled by the speed of the motor. During a lowering
operation the hydraulic pump drives the motor which then acts as a generator
(regenerative lowering). The energy produced is then fed back to the battery.
Electrical System:
Service laptop connection interface:
– To configure all the key truck data (limit position damping, lift cutout, retardation
and acceleration patterns, cut-outs etc.) rapidly and reliably.
– To read off the error log to analyse fault causes.
– To simulate and analyse program operations.
– Simple functional extension by releasing code numbers.
The controller is fitted with a CAN Bus and a continually measuring sensor system.
The controller provide smooth start-up and braking of the load in all limit positions
through limit position and intermediate cushioning.
Highly efficient threephase technology with energy retention for the drive and lift
motors provides high travel and lift speeds and better use of energy.
The MOSFET threephase controller provides smooth starting for all movements.

3.1 Basic truck transport safety
M
The mast must only be disassembled by the manufacturer’s authorised service
department.
To ensure secure transport of a disassembled EKS, use the prescribed attachment
points for fastening/quick release belts.
Z
With the EKS 410 only use straps with a rated capacity of > 5 tonnes and with the
EKS 513-515 only straps with a rated capacity of > 9 tonnes.
M
When transporting, always relieve the drive wheel by placing the entire surface of a
wooden beam (11) underneath the counterweight (minimum chassis width). In
addition, secure the load wheels with a wedge (13).
M
If the truck’s battery is supplied in the chassis, disconnect the battery.
Fastening belts should be attached to at least 4 different lorry eyes (12).
Belts placed over “sharp” edges must be protected by a suitable support material ,
e. g. foam.
The top holes of the counterweight attachment (10) can be used as attachment points
for the rear end of the truck chassis.
The tensioning belts should be tightened over both outriggers at the front end of the
truck chassis.
M
Note the cable routing and cover sharp edges with a suitable material.
The tensioning belt above the upper chassis section is routed behind the two mast
attachment bars (9).
To do this remove the side panels and open the battery panel. After tensioning the
belt, fit the side panels back again and close the battery panel.
