It has been stated here that the AC motors have 100% torque 100% of the time, this is not very accurate, in fact the high voltage AC motors are great at producing torque but the low voltage motors have some serious issues. If you are bulldozing with AC motors you will have overheating problems especially in the lower voltages i.e. Power Jacks. The inverters will overheat and shut down. I would be very carefull when comparing AC technology to Advanced DC technology, I have witnessed two of the top Reach trucks one running on full AC and one running on full Advanced DC technology. The DC truck kicked the AC trucks butt. We used a police radar gun for speeds and the AC truck lost on just about everything. A company needs to be carefull before making this leap...Know the application and choose wisely.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
