Vehicle Control Unit (VCU)

• Reliable Curtis Controllers monitor and control all functions, assuring truck remains within defined parameters.

Rear LED Lighting

• Brighter and longer lasting than conventional lighting.

Operator Sensing System (OSS)
Should the operator leave the seat, the OSS automatically initiates these functions:  

• Quickly stops all truck movement 
• Locks the lift, lower and tilt functions of mast and hydraulic assemblies 
• A seatbelt warning light will alert the operator to re-fasten the seat belt 
• The shift selector must be in the neutral position in order to re-start the truck 

Simplified Serviceability
Monitoring & Maintenance Service Port
Another service and maintenance feature, aids in maintenance tasks including: 

• Makes troubleshooting quick and easy 
• Calibration of power    
• Test menu section 
• Data logging 
• Flash programming 
• Easy troubleshooting 

Bright, Intuitive LED Display

• Large, bright, and intuitive display provides truck health status quickly and easily.

Wide Angle Hood Opening
Provides added room under hood for easy accessibility to maintenance points 

• Quick access to maintenance items

Enhanced Productivity
Pre-Programmed Performance Modes
The Multi-Selection allows an operator to select the best performance parameter

• High-performance mode 
• Standard mode 
• Energy-saving mode 
• Turtle mode 

Intelligent Torque Control
Senses traction and automatically reduces travel speed, when in limp-home mode 

• Responsive acceleration 
• Protection against short or open circuits 
• Continuous monitoring of the temperature of motors to assure operation within acceptable parameters 

Spacious Operator Compartment

• Increased operator comfort, more head and leg room.

Deluxe Suspension Seat

• These seats take operator comfort to a whole new level.

Fingertip Controls

• This optional feature allows the operator to manipulate the forklift hydraulics without the need to reach for levers.

Rugged, Durable Trans-Axle

• This feature efficiently transfers the power and torque of the drive motor for smooth, quiet operation.

Smooth, Responsive Acceleration

• Enjoy quick and powerful acceleration, and smooth & continuous travel speeds thanks to the AC electrical controllers and CAN bus cc control system.

Excellent Forward and Upper Visibility

• The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.

Integral Side Shifter

• The integral side-shift assembly replaces the standard carriage, therefore increasing residual load capacity vs. hang-on types. This allows the operator to shift the load from side to side for precise placement, reduces handling time, and improves maneuverability.

Durable Reliability
Oil-Cooled Disc Brakes (OCDB)
This 'best-in-class’ brake system comes with a 5-Year or 10,000 working hour warranty 

• Discs are submerged in oil, keeping them cool and limiting wear

• OCDB are more easily serviced in the field than traditional brakes 
• System is sealed for maximum protection against contamination 

Rugged Dual Drive Motors

• Individually controlled drive motors and drive units are ruggedly made for added reliability.

Brushless Electric Motor Design

• The maintenance-free brushless design provides more productivity and increased reliability.

AC Drive System, Motors & Controller

• An industry-proven AC drive system, motors and controller allows for precise handling. 
• Provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity.

OHG

• The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Fewer Overall Parts to Replace

• With fewer overall parts on the vehicle, you save time on service and repairs, which increases your truck’s run-time which saves you money.
