Hi Goodie,
Based on all the discussions, do agree that it is not a good idea to have a man-down truck for 13 meters. Usually, a person vision and judgement is good up to 6 meters.
And if you want order picking, then a man-up will be the best. Operator goes up to 13 meters, pick up the goods and then he can go to another location to pick other items.
PAPA is right Jungheinrich had not sell a single ETX515.

hi,

Kindly also take into consideration of parts availability , as man down is not common in Singapore. And Jungheinrich have not sell a single ETX515 in the past 10 years in Singapore

BT Reflex RRE can be had with mast lift height of 12.5 metres.
TLC system on the mast means its quick enough to reach max lift height.

As for VNA, BT VCE 150 can be had with a 14.8 metre lift height, its a man up truck.

Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I will talk to my lecturer and if can change to order picking for 13m height will be good.

There are quite a few reach trucks manufactured today that lift to 12M that require a stacking aisle greater than 3M. Many of these are being replaced with articulated man down machines that lift to 12M and that operate in aisles of approx 2.1M. These are working with better performance results than reach trucks because of their reduced aisle size, greater lifting capacity, high performance lift and lower speeds and the ability to work indoors and out.

BT launched there VR Veflex man down replacement last year based on the RRE Reflex.

New one is called the Vector R series

They only go up to 11 metres lift height though.

Nothing wrong with man down if it's specced correctly.

You might struggle to get another two manufactors. Man down VNA are a thing of the past. These are low volume production now and built to old designs. The world will not miss them when the last is phased out.

At 13m iit is a bit crazy to be doing it all from ground level.

Hi

It is not a good idea to use man-down VNA at such lifting height.
You may save money on the truck price, but may spend more in operation as it is not as efficient as man-up VNA at such height.

Even with camera system, it don't really provide much help.
Man-up VNA is the only solution.

I hope it has some kind of camera system on the forks as 13+ meters with the man on the ground is just asking for the racking to be knocked down sooner or later.

Highest we do at BT for man down is 11 metres.
