Baoli improves safety and visibility to its practical diesel series

Baoli launches new forklifts KB30D and KB35D with 3.0 and 3.5 ton load capacity into the European market.

Baoli Material Handling Europe has improved the reliability and operation of its forklift trucks. After the launch of its new electric truck earlier this year, Baoli now introduces the KB30D and KB35D forklifts with upgraded Mitsubishi S4S-455 diesel engines into the European market. Key elements of improvement compared to the previous model are better visibility for the operator, more robust materials, enhanced safety and European-style structured painting.

Distinctive features of the new Baoli models are the downward-sloped counterweights and the pyramid design of the rear overhead guard, enhancing the rear view. Thanks to the angular counterweight of the KB30/35D, the operator is able to see the ground 40 cm closer than driving the previous model. Upward and forward visibility is enhanced by the new design of the overhead guard cover and the mast with a wider view of 51 cm.

The KB30/35D diesel forklift is the first Baoli model with a structured, painted counterweight instead of smooth painting. This structured painting avoids dazzle effects in strong sunlight. Accidents can thus be reduced and the safety for the operator is increased.

For enhanced robustness, the engine hood of the KB30/35D forklift is made of iron. The fiberglass of the previous model is replaced by metal because it is not easy to be deformed and, in this way, increases service life. Crest foam is fitted inside the engine hood, which improves heat insulation and reduces noise. The counterweight has a larger space for heat expulsion, thereby improving operating efficiency.

The engine hood can be opened to an angle of 90 degrees, ensuring comfortable access for maintenance.

"Users of practical and reliable forklifts expect safety for the operator as well as protecting for the load. Therefore, the development team of Baoli is working continuously to improve the safety and reliability of its forklifts while keeping them practical," says Rory Harvey-Kelly, General Manager of Baoli Material Handling Europe. "The new diesel Baoli forklift brings several new aspects such as an upgraded transmission and an additional handle at the reverse overhead guard for more comfortable and safer operation. Easy maintenance remains a key element for all Baoli forklifts."

Spare parts for the KB30/35D are available for the European Baoli distributors via the Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC). This online tool started at the beginning of 2014, providing information about parts numbers and pricing as well as the opportunity to order parts quickly and easily. Baoli is constantly updating the EPC in order to ensure maximum parts knowledge and facilitate the ordering process for current as well as new Baoli forklifts.

New Baoli forklift with 2 ton capacity offers improved design for easy operation and service

Baoli Material Handling Europe launches its new electric forklift truck KBE20 with 2 ton load capacity. The four wheel truck with full AC motor and controller appears with improved design, which makes its operation as well as servicing more practical. In comparison to previous models, the counterbalanced weight is low, which enables a wider rear view. The steering wheel diameter is significantly reduced, so that the operator needs less effort and the steering efficiency is maximised.

The KBE20 truck is equipped with a regenerative braking system, which recharges the battery when braking and in this way extends the operating time between charging. Due to the improved design of the cover, which is made out of steel, there is easy access to the battery.

"The new electric truck is another step towards achieving Baoli's objective to grow in the European market, because it offers improvements for more efficient, safer and easier operation," says Harvey-Kelly. "While introducing improvements to better meet the requirements of the European clients, the Baoli development team always strives to keep the trucks practical and reliable. In this way, our European distributor and dealer network will be able to offer fast and easy service as they are used to Baoli trucks. Therefore, the trucks include standard components, which are well known in the market."

To meet customers' specific requirements, the KBE20 truck is also available with anti-explosion and cold storage options.

Baoli expands its portfolio of warehouse equipment

New "City Mover" 1.5 ton electric pallet truck for use in confined spaces

Baoli Material Handling Europe expands its portfolio of warehouse trucks with its 1.5 ton electric pallet truck for the European market. The Baoli EP15 is a pedestrian pallet truck, which is suitable for transporting loads in confined spaces like lorries, shops and containers. Its compact sizes have an overall length of 1,685 mm with a small turning radius of 1,490 mm; thus ensuring easy maneuverability.

The Baoli "City Mover" EP15 is designed for easy maintenance and convenient side battery replacement. An on-board charger ensures practical and fast charging. The operator always knows about the current power level thanks to the battery discharge indicator.

"The European market requires practical forklifts as well as warehouse trucks. Operators expect a complete materials handling equipment range from one manufacturer," says Harvey-Kelly. "Baoli already meets most requirements and will be even better placed by currently expanding its portfolio of warehouse trucks as well as upgrading its counterbalance trucks."

The pallet truck is equipped with a powerful battery and a Curtis controller. The electromagnetic brake ensures safety for the operator.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
