ERGONOMICS & COMFORT
The TX Series offers a variety of operator conveniences for greater
productivity including a standard full suspension seat for enhanced
shock absorption. The seat features weight and back-angle
adjustments, hip restraints and a retractable seat belt. A standard small
diameter, tilt steering wheel can be paired with an optional spinner knob
for extra operator control. An optional higher steering column provides
an extra 2” of height. The TX includes an anti-fatigue cushioned floor
mat for a smoother, more comfortable ride. Compact front cowl offers
generous leg and foot room. Low profile dashboard provides excellent
fork tip visibility, while still supplying ample headroom. Our exclusive
optional OptiView® three-stage mast offers increased forward visibility for
enhanced load handling.
Our standard Operator Presence System includes Return-to-Neutral and
Auto-Mast Lock, automatically preventing mast lift and tilt operations
when the operator leaves the seat. Audible and visual warnings notify
operator if seat belt is not engaged, or if parking brake is not applied
before exiting truck. Other communications visible through the LCD
meter panel include truck’s travel speed (above 2 mph) and steer
wheel indicator (below 2 mph), battery capacity, regeneration indicator,
4-mode hour meter, time, calendar, and selected power setting
(performance mode).
On-demand, hydraulic power steering reduces operator effort for easier
maneuvering and less fatigue, while a load sensing valve prioritizes
hydraulic fluid to truck’s steering system when needed. Heel-to-toe
brake pedal improves the ease of operation. Hand-operated parking
brake includes a lock release, and is located on the cowl, within easy
reach.
Standard deck-mounted hydraulic control levers offer enhanced
ergonomics. Optional fingertip control levers available with an adjustable
armrest. Select this option with either a single lift/tilt lever design or
separate lift and tilt control levers. Optional auto-tilt leveling system
assists operator during mast/fork positioning and is not available with
fingertip control, single lift and tilt lever option.
EFFICIENCY & CONTROL
Compact steering wheel provides clear view of meter panel with visibility
to warnings and indicators. A standard controlled rollback feature
reduces the truck’s descent when the accelerator is released while on a
gradient.
Dual front wheel drive provides excellent tractions and braking power.
Rugged dual AC powered drive motors offer more power and quicker
response. The TX Series’ individually controlled drive motors mean that
power is transferred to each motor independently, depending upon turn
angle input. For tighter turns, the inner drive wheel counter-rotates,
allowing the truck to turn on the spot.
The TX Series may be programmed with Personal Identification Number
(PIN) codes to help prevent unauthorized truck usage for greater fleet
control. Each of the five PINs provides access to a customized operating
profile.
The TX includes three factory-programmed performance settings
(Economy, Power, High Power) which can be modified to fit driver
preferences, operating restrictions and/or load handling conditions.
Economy mode offers extended run time. Power (standard) mode offers
mid-range settings. High Power mode is intended for faster acceleration
and travel, among the truck’s other adjustable settings. Use the
Manual mode to personalize up to 12 performance settings. All setting
modifications must be made by a trained service technician.
A unique Flex-Logic acceleration control enables the truck to respond
according to the speed with which the pedal is depressed, providing the
driver with more accurate, precise acceleration. Can be adjusted to suit
operating conditions. Maximum travel speed is also adjustable through
the meter panel. Both settings can be adjusted by a trained service
technician.
LOWER OPERATING COSTS
The TX Series features a 100% AC-powered motor and controller
system, incorporating a single contactor for reduced maintenance.
Truck includes AC pump motor to power its lift and steering system,
so a separate steering motor is not required. Motor and controller
system design greatly reduces or eliminates many serviceable parts
(commutators, contactors and brushes), along with related inspection
and replacement expenses. Its AC TECH controller includes a built-
in-test-equipment module with self-diagnostics and coded service
history logged by hour meter reading. Multi-function LCD panel includes
on-board diagnostics with all troubleshooting completed through the
instrument panel, for reduced service time. No additional handset tool
is required.
Modular, four-piece overhead guard simplifies replacement of individual
components if necessary, saving time and money. Hydraulic fluid
access for level checks and additions is available under the hood, on
the right side of the truck. The brake fluid can be checked quickly, via a
door located on the front cowl.
Powertrain maintenance is simplified due to its modular design - both
gear box and motor can be removed as a single unit, without the need
to remove the mast for service.
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE & GREATER
UPTIME
The TX Series’ AC motor and controller system features MOS-FET
power inverters for DC to three phase AC power conversion. The
TX Series controllers are IP65 rated. They’re located between the
counterweight and battery box, and protected by two removable
panels. Thermal sensors help protect both motors and controller
against overheating. Warning indicator will advise operator if overheating
has occurred, followed by reduced travel and lift operations. Data is
automatically locked into truck’s service history to assist the technician.
Our AC TECH controller provides lower battery consumption and
optimum operating efficiencies through regenerative braking, automatic
deceleration, and on-demand power steering. Advanced regenerative
braking technologies help reclaim energy using five efficient operations
(switch-back/plugging, foot applied, neutral braking (accelerator off),
controlled rollback and lift stopping), contributing to lower power
consumption and longer operating hours. Regeneration also results in
reduced heat generation and component wear, for long-term savings.
Adjustable auto-power off feature cuts power to the truck’s electrical
system if unit sits idle for a programmed period of time.
RUGGED & DURABLE
The TX Series’ rugged, unitized frame design delivers increased
durability, and longer life. Contoured counterweight design enhances
maneuverability. Flat face mast design features rolled steel channels,
large cross sections, and thick inner rails for greater capacity retention.
Side thrust rollers on the fork carriage are easily accessed for simple
carriage adjustment.
Reliable, 6-disc wet-type brake system is fully enclosed within the drive
unit, helping to eliminate debris and premature brake wear. Design
extends brake life and lengthens service intervals.
