It defines our forklifts and the

company that builds them.

Up Your

UpTime

TX Series forklifts incorporate a full range

of advanced technologies to keep your

operation up, running and productive.

As a result, our trucks use fewer parts,

require less scheduled maintenance,

extend battery life and our ultra-reliable

AC drive and hydraulic motors provide

greater efficiency—delivering more

consistent power and performance

throughout each shift.

Dependable Drive Unit

Dependable performance is achieved through the synching

of our brushless AC induction motors with a simple, yet

effective, transmission design. The result is less complexity,

fewer parts and reduced maintenance.

Stay Cool

Built-in thermal sensors help

protect the motor and controller

systems, promoting more reliable

performance. A warning will flash

on the LCD screen to advise the

operator if overheating has

occurred, followed by reduced travel

and lift operations. Information is

automatically locked into the truck’s

service history to assist the

technician and speed servicing.

Easily check brake fluid

levels on the front dash.

Quickly access dipstick

and hydraulic fluid under

the hood.

Get More from Every Charge

Advanced regenerative technology

reclaims power from five different

operations, lowering power

consumption and reducing

component wear through less heat

generation — to keep your equipment

operating longer, with less time in

the charging bay.

Sealed Controller

The controllers are located in the rear of

the truck—between the counterweight

and the battery box—and protected by

two removable panels. Their IP65

rating means they're housed within

an enclosed and waterproof structure to

protect against water and dust.

Conserve Your Energy

With the standard Auto Power Off feature,

power is cut off to the truck if it remains idle

for a pre-set period of time. (Comes factory

programmed at 15 minutes, but can be

adjusted from 1–60 minutes.)

Reliable AC Technology

The TX Series is powered by our

harmonized, 100% AC motor and

controller system. With better cooling

capacity and greater reliability even in

humid environments, AC power delivers

more consistent and higher performance

throughout the shift on a single battery

charge.

On-Demand Power Steering

With load sensing power steering,

a single motor powers both steering

and hydraulics—reducing the number

of parts and energy consumption.

Foot brake regeneration

Accelerator-off regeneration

Controlled rollback regeneration

Lifting/lowering regeneration

Comfort

Zone

UniCarriers incorporates proven, ergonomic designs throughout the TX Series forklifts to

optimize the comfort and visibility of your operators—while it maximizes the performance

of your entire operation.

Battery Plug

Unlike competitive trucks, we’ve

placed the battery plug under the

hood and away from driver’s legs.

A Step Up in Operator

Comfort

Designed with a wide step for easy

entry into the spacious cabin that

boasts leg and foot room that are

among the industry’s largest. It also

offers an amazing head clearance

for such a compact forklift.

Perfectly Placed

Ergonomically placed parking brake, deck-mounted hydraulic controls and

automotive-style forward/reverse directional controls, lights and turn signals

put operator comfort and productivity all within easy reach.

Sit & Relax

A comfortable full-suspension seat

absorbs shocks for a smoother, more

comfortable ride—and features

weight and back angle adjustments,

hip restraints and a retractable

seatbelt.

Hands-On Operation

A standard small diameter, tilt steering

wheel can be paired with an optional

spinner knob for extra operator control.

Further customize driver preference by

selecting an optional steering column

that provides an extra 2" of height.

Visibly Better

The TX is designed to provide a commanding

view of the surrounding environment and clear

sightlines to the fork tips by virtue of the

low-front dash panel.

We’ve Thought

of Everything

Switching between the brake

and accelerator is easier, more

fluid and safer, thanks to our

heel-to-toe concept that

ensures the pedals are at the

same height when released.

Performance at Your Fingertips

With our optional fingertip controls, you

barely have to move your fingers to

command control over travel direction,

lift, auxiliary functions and horn.

Integrated into a comfortable armrest,

it provides operators with the ultimate in

ergonomic efficiency. Choose between

a combined or separate lift & tilt lever

design.

Smooth Moves

TX Series trucks are powered by two

separate AC drive motors that are

individually controlled by our AC Tech

Controller. During tight turns, the inner

wheel counter rotates so the truck

can turn within its own footprint for

unsurpassed maneuverability.

Sensitive to Your Acceleration Needs

With our exclusive Flex-Logic system, the quicker

the accelerator pedal is depressed, the faster our TX

Series will respond to your command for speed. This

feature is ideal for fast paced operations and where

long runs are common. Operators can also maintain a

slower acceleration rate by reducing their pedal force

when pedestrians are present or in more confined

areas of the warehouse. In addition, the operator can

adjust the acceleration rate through the meter panel,

for even faster or slower response.

Power &

Performance

The TX Series matches turn-on-a-dime maneuverability with power, torque,

speed and control to deliver optimal performance and productivity for each

application and in just about every environment.

Savings

At UniCarriers, we’re always looking for opportunities

to lower the cost of owning our trucks —and we’ve

found them. Take a look at just a few of the ways

we’ve designed the TX Series forklifts to be faster,

easier and more economical to operate and maintain.

Advanced regenerative technology

reclaims power from five different

operations—lowering power

consumption, extending operating

hours, reducing component wear

and keeping your equipment out of

the charging bay.

On-Board Diagnostics

On-board diagnostics and truck service

history are available through the meter

panel for quick troubleshooting—resulting in

less downtime and increased productivity.

No tablet, laptop or handset tool is required.

2,400

Low Maintenance

Extended major service intervals of 1,200 and

2,400 hours mean more uptime with less time,

effort and money expended on maintenance.

The Brake You Need

The reliable 6-disc wet-type

brake system is fully enclosed

within the drive unit. This design

helps eliminate dirt and debris

entry to prevent premature

brake wear, keeps oil cleaner,

extends brake life, lengthens

service intervals and lowers

your costs.

Quick Fix

The modular design of the powertrain

speeds and simplifies maintenance.

The gear box and motor can be removed,

serviced and replaced as a unit—

without removing the mast for service.

Traction motor

Drive Unit

Fewer Motors to Maintain

The 100% AC-powered system on the TX features brushless

drive and pump motors and a single contactor. The steering

system is electronically controlled and powered through

the hydraulics, thus eliminating the need for — and added

expense of — a separate steering motor.

Forward Thinking Back Up Alarm

Our back-up alarm provides plenty of notice to pedestrians

and other drivers in the area. For applications with varying

noise levels, there is an optional self-adjusting alarm that

adjusts sound volume based on ambient noise levels.

Reverse driving actuates optional

blue spotlight to illuminate the floor,

for advanced visual warning.

Password Protected

Security

Using a PIN code/password entry feature

helps assure that only authorized drivers

are operating your TX. Up to five unique

performance settings can be created, based on

application and/or individual operator skill level.

You have a commitment to workplace and operator security. So do we. That’s why you’ll

find some of the most sophisticated and reliable control systems on our TX Series forklifts—

all designed to protect your employees and your business.

Seeing Is Believing

Cylinders are positioned

behind the mast rails

resulting in fewer visual

obstructions for the

operator. Ideal for

facilities that transport

delicate loads, our

optional OptiView®

mast makes fork

positioning and load

handling easier.

Operator Presence System

This comprehensive system includes a

seat-actuated power interrupt with

mast-lock, automatically preventing lift

and tilt operations if the operator leaves

the seat. The return-to-neutral feature

minimizes forklift movement if the

operator leaves the truck while still in

gear. Other audible and visual warnings

come standard, including a seatbelt

alarm and parking brake warning.

TILT-LOCK

LIFT-LOCK

Parking Brake Alarm

As part of the Operator Presence System, a warning

buzzer alerts the driver if he leaves the seat without first

setting the parking brake.

Control

Freak

Whether it’s restricting access to the forklift, regulating travel speed or limiting operating

costs, the TX Series provides you with the control you need to manage your operation

easily, effectively and completely.

The Ultimate In Control

The interactive meter panel on the TX provides operators and technicians

with a wealth of information through its LCD warnings and readouts. Using

the numbered function keys you can program settings, perform maintenance

tasks, and access service history.

Speed Synched

With our exclusive Flex Logic control, the acceleration rate varies based

on the speed at which the pedal is pressed—fast acceleration for longer

runs…or slower acceleration for easier maneuvering in higher traffic areas,

tight spaces and making final approaches. See page 8 for details.
