Still's EXU low-lift trucks

Still launches new pedestrian pallet trucks
Hamburg, Germany
Still GmbH has introduced four new EXU low-lift trucks with 1.6-2.2 ton capacities.
According to Still, the EXU's compact design makes it ideal for use in warehouse, industrial and production applications and when loading and unloading lorries.
The EXU is equipped with "Optispeed 3.0", an intelligent system that controls the drive speed according to the tiller's angle. If the operator moves away from the truck and pulls the tiller head towards himself, the maximum driving speed will increase. However, the speed will reduce if the operator moves closer to the truck and lifts the tiller toward a more upright position.
