Record 3 2005-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucks and Dollies (Materials Handling)
CONT

Excellent all-round visibility with the front-loading truck saves time and money... These trucks are ideally suited to manoeuvring in confined areas and positioning heavy loads at height(lift heights up to 7. 5 m). There is a reduced risk of damaging goods or racks with this truck, as the driver can see up to 17% more of the forks... This is achieved through the cab-forward design, a sculpted low-profile cowling and a narrow, offset steering column. The enhanced visibility simplifies pallet entry as the driver does not have to bend forward.
