1 Application description
The ETX ac 125/150 is an electric three-way lift truck which picks up, transports, and
lifts its load outside the wheelbase. It can be used for internal goods traffic to stack
and transport DIN 15142 pallets, DIN 15144 lattice box pallet, and other palletised
loads. If the ETX ac 125/150 is used for assembly works with an according working
platform, the load carrying-unit must be supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
For optimisation of the turnaround performance the truck can be operated diagonally,
i. e. that travelling and lifting is possible simultaneously.
As standard, swivel/traverse forks or telescopic forks can be used as load-carrying
units. The load fork can be designed for different load units. In case of the swivel/
traverse fork the distance between the fork arms is adjustable.
For operation in narrow aisles the ETX ac 125/150 can be either be equipped with a
rail guidance system (RG) or inductive guidance system (IF). The driver can fully
concentrate on his stacking work. Simultaneous travel and lifting is enables in narrow
aisles. The activation is triggered by aisle detection sensors. Outside narrow aisles
the ETX ac 125/150 can be freely moved, partly at restricted travel speeds depending
on certain lifting heights.
The racking systems must be constructed for the ETX ac 125/150. The safety
distances required and prescribed by the manufacturer (e. g. prEN 1726-2 item 7.3.2)
must be strictly observed. The ground must comply with DIN 15185. For the rail
guidance system (RG) the narrow aisles must be equipped with guide rails.
Vulkollan guide rollers screwed to the truck chassis guide the truck between the guide
rails.
For the inductive guidance system (IF) a guide wire must be installed in the ground,
and the signals from the guide wires are received by sensors at the truck chassis and
processed in the truck computer.

2.1 Truck
Chassis:
The robust truck chassis is a skeleton construction. All enclosures are removable
respectively can be opened by hinges, thus providing excellent accessibility to all
units and for servicing the battery. The truck's width, measured across the load
wheels, can be adjusted to the respective requirements of the warehouse. Available
chassis widths range from 1,210 to 1,700 mm (from 1,250 mm onward in increments
of 50 mm).
Wheels:
The load wheels are mounted on a cantilever axle. The bearings are constructed with
taper roller bearings, which allows problem-free adjustment and very easy wheel
change.
Drive system:
Arranged in standing configuration, heavy-duty three-phase AC motor
(asynchronous) delivering 7 kW (KB 60 min). The motor is directly screwed onto the
single-wheel drive unit, thus providing problem-free and fast maintenance.
Steering:
Low-friction electrical steering. The handy and small steering wheel is integrated into
the operating panel. When mechanical rail guidance is used, the drive wheel is set to
straight position by the push of a button. The position of the steered wheel is indicated
on the operating terminal. The steering angle is +/- 90°, providing excellent
manoeuvrability in confined dead-end aisles.
When the inductive guidance mode is used, the steering is automatically taken over
by the system and manual steering is not active.
Load-carrying units:
The standard truck is equipped with a swivel/traverse fork. The load can be picked up
directly from the ground and tiered and untiered on both sides of the rack aisle. All
limit positions for traversing and turning are dampened. For fast pallet handling the
traversing and turning motions can be executed in parallel by pushing a button.
Optionally the truck can be equipped with telescopic forks or special attachment
devices. The swivel/traverse fork can be equipped with a fork adjusting device.
Telescopic fork: Suitable stackable load units can only be picked up or put down to
the left or right. Picking up or putting down the load directly from/onto the ground is
not possible. Therefore, retrieval respectively transfer stations must be provided
(centring station, roller conveyor, etc.).
Lifting mast:
Optionally double or triple lifting masts with full free-lift. The precision double Tprofiles are connected to each other by means of torsion-resistant and flexurally rigid
crossbeams. Thus, minimum swinging during tiering and untiering is achieved. The
hydraulic cylinders are located on the sides, providing a good through-view.

Driver position:
The spacious, ergonomically designed driver position with comfort seat and the
ergonomically optimised arrangement of all operating elements allow non-tiring
operation of the truck by the driver. The driver seat with operating panel and pedals
can be continuously rotated approx. 30° in load direction and approx. 10° in drive
direction by push of a button. The driver seat is vibration-dampened and can be
adjusted to individual body heights and weights. The operating panel with armrest is
adjustable in height and lengthways. All functions for lifting, traversing, and turning
are operated via a thumb-actuated lever. All operating conditions such as, for
example, lifting height, battery charge condition, time of day, position of steered
wheel, etc., are indicated on the operating terminal.
Lifting height preselection:
With the lifting height preselection system the driver can select the required lifting
height by pushing a button. When the desired lifting height is reached, the lifting
process is automatically terminated. The lifting height preselection system can be
used both for tiering and untiering of the load and also for lifting and lowering. The
lifting height preselection system is designed for warehouse sections with different
racking heights.
Hydraulic system:
All hydraulic movements are carried out by a maintenance-free 21 kW three-phase
AC motor with flange-mounted, low-noise internal gear pump. The oil is distributed
via solenoid switching valves. The different required oil amounts are controlled via the
motor speed. When lowering, the hydraulic pump drives the motor, which works as a
generator at that time (utility lowering). The energy generated by this process is fed
back into the battery.
Brakes:
a) The truck is decelerated wear-free and smoothly by releasing the accelerator
pedal or switching to the opposite travel direction. Thus, energy is reclaimed in
the battery (service brake).
b) Moreover, the truck can be decelerated by a brake pedal acting on hydraulically
operated shoe brakes in the load wheels. The maximum deceleration is adapted
to the lifting height.
c) The electromagnetic spring-pressure brake acting on the traction motor serves
as immobilising and stopping brake during tiering and untiering operations.
d) In inductively guided trucks a spring-loaded brake acting on the load wheels is
additionally applied. This brake is also automatically controlled in depending on
the height and acts only in emergency-stop situations.

Driver position:
The spacious, ergonomically designed driver position with comfort seat and the
ergonomically optimised arrangement of all operating elements allow non-tiring
operation of the truck by the driver. The driver seat with operating panel and pedals
can be continuously rotated approx. 30° in load direction and approx. 10° in drive
direction by push of a button. The driver seat is vibration-dampened and can be
adjusted to individual body heights and weights. The operating panel with armrest is
