NTP Forklifts Australia, local distributor for battery-electric TCM Corporation forklifts, has announced the launch of the new 8-series reach truck this month.
Tom Naffine, marketing manager of NTP, tells Forkliftaction.com News that while the new reach truck is typical of most stand-up reach truck designs, making it ideal for general warehousing, the company has also taken orders for the four-directional variant of the model which will be delivered to those customers who handle elongated materials such as steel, glass, pipes, etc.
Explains Damien Garvey, national sales manager, "This is where the front castors have separate motors and can pivot 90 degrees so the unit can move sideways down an aisle or through a doorway."
The new forklift, launched in Japan in September, incorporates superior performance and economy, with an AC drive motor and regenerative braking system that delivers nine hours’ run time on a single battery charge, an improvement on the previous 7-series model of almost half an hour.
Manoeuvrability is provided via a newly designed auto suspension lock system and a slip control system. The new model has a redesigned operator compartment to improve on comfort, and safety has been enhanced with an interlock system on lifting, travelling and password entry.
The FRHB-8 series is available in 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 tonne capacities.
