Power Drive Heavy Duty Reach Trucks
SPECIFICATIONS
■ Reach Mechanism. Heavy-duty, pantograph-type reach
mechanism extends 24”. Dual reach and tilt cylinders with chrome plated
rods used on all units.
■ Interlocked I-beam Mast. The premium-grade steel mast
construction features interlocked steel channel and I-beam design and
roller-bearing surfaces for long mast life. Interlocked channel and I-beam
mast accommodates high lifting stresses and maintains maximum load
stability.
■ Large Direction Reversing “Belly-button” Impact
Switch. Provides operator protection when maneuvering. Upon body
contact, switch activates low speed in the opposite direction.
■ Versatile Braking Systems. Two-way mechanical linkage
actuates an automotive-type disc brake when the handle is positioned in
the top or bottom of its arc. “Dead-man” feature returns the handle to its
upright position, cuts out travel power, and automatically engages the
brake if the handle is inadvertently released.
■ Easy Access Service Panel. All Big Joe models are designed to
make maintenance fast and easy. Hinged doors and removable panels permit
access to battery, electrical circuitry, drive train and hydraulic components for
all normal maintenance. Most major components can be serviced without
special tools.
■ Fully Protected Electrical System. Fully fuse protected,
heavy-duty 100 ampere industrial contactors are standard. All wiring is
coded for easy servicing.
■ Transmission. Heavyweight ductile iron housing protects large,
heat-treated spur gears; premium ball and tapered roller-bearings are fully
bathed in oil.
■ Drive Motor. Ball bearings and Class H insulation provide
maximum performance with long life.
■ Steering. The entire drive train pivots on a thrust bearing to ensure
long service life and low steering effort. Power is delivered to the floor
through a large, smooth rolling polyurethane tire for positive traction and
long life.
■ Construction. Interlocked channel and I-beam on mast and solid
bar straddles provide extra rigidity.
■ Tilt. Carriage tilts 3° forward and 6° backward and is designed to
operate in all reach positions and at all lifting heights.
■ Chrome Plated Lift Cylinder. For long, maintenance-free lift
cylinder life.
■ Special Alloy Forks. Heavy-duty I.T.A. forks are heat-treated
alloy steel and formed to preserve full strength at the fork heel. Bottom
taper of 14 inches and beveled fork tips allow easy pallet entry and exit.
■ I.T.A. Class II Carriage. I.T.A. Class II Carriage makes
changing fork spacing simple. No tools or pin removal are required.
■ Emergency Power Disconnect. Externally mounted quick-
release battery disconnect is readily accessible to remove all power from truck
circuits in the event of an emergency.
■ Tandem Load Wheels. 4” tandem polyurethane load wheels
standard on all models.

TECHNICAL DATA
PDR
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
All power is routed via “SB” type connector (standard) to
primary fuse protection, where power then is separated to
drive and lift system subcircuits.
Modular drive control panel has premium, industrial-grade
contactors with replaceable silver-alloy tips.
All cables and wiring are color coded and/or numbered for
easy service tracing.
High-torque, Class H insulated drive motor has copper-
graphite brushes for peak electrical efficiency and long life.
Hydraulic pump motor(s) are specially selected for peak
electrical efficiency at specific torque and rpm lift pump
requirements.
Driver-control-module circuits are routed to the control head
via multiple conductor cable.
PDR-20: 2,000 lb. capacity at 24” load center. Standard
equipment includes Job-Mated, steel-clad, 12-volt, 450 amp.
hour at 6 hr. rate battery (5.238 kwh) and separate, fully
automatic 65 amp. charger. 24-volt units include steel-clad
300 amp. hour at 6 hr. rate battery (6.924 kwh) and 40
amp. fully automatic charger.
PDR-30: 3,000 lb. capacity at 24” load center. Standard
equipment includes Job-Mated, steel-clad, 12-volt, 510 amp.
hour at 6 hr. rate battery (5.934 kwh) and separate, fully
automatic 65 amp. charger. 24-volt units include steel-clad
340 amp. hour at 6 hr. rate battery (3.954 kwh) and 40
amp. fully automatic charger.
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
Mast construction is interlocked channel and I-beam, rolled of
premium-grade steel specifically for lift truck use.
Fully rollered inner mast and lift carriage.
Forged, ITA undertapered forks are standard. Full upset heel
standard.
Unit-construction chassis, mast, and straddles form an
integral, welded, steel structure built to take heavy-duty use by
distributing stresses. All surfaces prone to receive accidental
impact are heavy gauge steel plate. Continuous welding is
used throughout the chassis at all critical points.
Reach Mechanism
Heavy-duty, pantagraph-type reach mechanism extends 24”.
Dual reach and tilt cylinders with chrome plated rods are used
on all units.
DRIVE SYSTEM
The entire drive train steers the truck via a bearing-mounted
pivot tube. Pivot tube is mounted to internal structural
member for maximum protection.
Direct drive full oil bath transmission operates through 22:1
gear reduction in ductile-iron transmission case with heat-
treated, alloy steel gears and premium industrial bearings.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
3-spool infinitely variable valve provides full-range operator
control over lift, extension and tilt.
Gear pumps are matched to lift cylinders to provide good lift
performance at modest power-draw levels.
Full system filtration is provided on the intake side of the
pump which prevents foreign matter from entering any part of
the system.
Relief valve protects entire system from overload.
Pressure-compensating flow control valve at base of lift
cylinder regulates lowering speed.
Reservoir comes equipped with highly efficient sump filter cap
and dipstick.
SAFETY FEATURES
Automatic speed cut-off circuit locks out high speed when
forks are elevated above 18”.
Large direction reversing “Belly-button” impact switch
provides operator protection when maneuvering. Upon body
contact, switch activates low speed in the opposite direction.
“Dead-man” mechanical braking action occurs when spring
loaded control handle is released, turning off electrical power
and applying disc brake in the process.
Externally-mounted battery connector is accessible to operator
for emergency power disconnect.
All power and control circuits are fuse-protected.
CERTIFICATION
All units certified to be in compliance with the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
