Stärke adds CSS
Ontario, CanadaStärke Material Handling Group has introduced its Continuous Stability System as a standard feature across its LiftMaxx line of industrial lift equipment. This system improves load balance and counteracts the destabilising influences of uneven surfaces, small debris and lateral momentum to reduce incidences of tipping and product damage.
Replacing standardised fixed supports commonly found in other models, the CSS allows Stärke's LiftMaxx equipment to operate in a smooth and balanced manner in a variety of work environments. The added stability provided by the Continuous Stability System is achieved by a fixed drive wheel supported by two cantilevered, spring-loaded casters in constant contact with the ground. As a result, Stärke's CSS substantially improves the stability of the lift truck and its load, particularly on uneven surfaces and while making a turn.
