AC reach trucks in 3 models The 8-Series AC reach lift trucks include a single reach version in 3,500- and 4,500- pound lifting capacities and a 3,000pound capacity double reach model. Features include an AC-powered drive system, AC power hydraulic system on 36volt models, and maintenance-free electric disc brakes for faster travel speeds, reduced maintenance costs and extended life cycle. For operator comfort, the truck integrates an 11.25-inch diameter steering wheel with adjustable steering. An adjustable battery-side, gate-retaining system minimizes battery side-toside movement. To maintain the truck’s position for maximum control in push-back rack applications, the truck includes a standard auto-position hold feature.

Bottle infeed handles lightweight bottles To handle the decreased weight and compression sensitivity of environmentally friendly lightweight PET bottles traveling through packaging equipment, the Zero-Gap II infeed creates smooth bottle laning, ensuring balanced lines and jam-resistant operation. Installed between the upstream product conveyor and the original infeed of the packaging machine, the system distributes product from a nested pattern into multiple lanes. As lanes fill and product accumulates in the low pressure area, electronic population sensors signal the conveyor to increase its speed, maintaining balance. By monitoring the product lanes and controlling the conveyor speeds accordingly, the unit allows product to enter these lanes with very low pressure and no gaps.
