Extracting more performance from AC-powered trucks with Superior’s new Cushothane^® XL-AC^TM tire

Advertisement - 09 Sep 2010

The performance advantages of the new AC-Powered lift trucks are widely accepted in the market. However, if your truck is fitted with tires that utilize decade-old technology, you might not be able to enjoy the real potential of your truck and, more importantly, your investment. AC-powered trucks have faster acceleration and quicker response due to the greater torque potential of its AC-motor. This advantage may not be fully exploited if the drive tire cannot provide enough initial traction to transfer all the torque to the ground. Lower efficiency and poorer productivity can result from this slippage. Apart from traction issues, most tires in the market also have high rolling resistance, limiting the higher energy efficiency of AC-motor lift trucks.
