UniCarriers' New K21

UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) has launched the Platinum II PF50DF and PF60DF Dual Fuel forklifts with features optimised for greater operational efficiency, damage prevention and uptime.

UniCarriers is touting the new line for operations requiring exceptional fuel efficiency and long-term value.

The Platinum II Series is powered by the company's K21, 2.1 litre, electronic fuel-injected industrial engine that provides excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.

Features on Platinum II models include a standard powertrain protection system which reduces the truck's speed when excessive heat or oil pressure loss is detected, lengthening drivetrain life.

The models' programmable speed control allows a technician to set maximum travel speeds based on skill level or corporate safety policy.

For safety, the standard operator presence system features a seat-actuated power interrupt system to lock travel and hydraulic functions if the operator is not seated. The system also includes a seatbelt warning system and parking brake alarm.

The Platinum II forklifts also have a parking brake transmission interlock which prevents them from switching into forward or reverse if the parking brake is engaged, avoiding brake damage.

"The Platinum II lift trucks offer many standard features that others usually only offer as costly add-ons," says Mark Porwit, director, marketing and product management for UniCarriers Americas.

All Platinum II trucks carry UniCarriers' two-year/unlimited hours limited warranty.
