Does your Forklift include an anti-rollback feature?

The Stärke 3 & 4 wheel Energy (electric) forklifts all include this protective feature to assist in preventing accidents in the workplace. Including anti-rollback protection is a must when dealing with steep inclines and grades. For example; this system adds an added layer of protection against the forklift rolling back on a ramp when the brake pedal is not applied. This feature also offers increased ramp start-up abilities.

How does the anti-rollback system work? The machine must be turned on and in gear with throttle released. Then the mechanism will electrically stop the forklift from rolling back while the brake is released.

Note: the anti-rollback feature will not work unless the forklift is in operation. Never leave the seat of your forklift when on a ramp, regardless of the added protection an anti-rollback system offers. The operator is always responsible for their machine, and should remain in the unit when on a ramp, steep grade, or while the forklift is in operation.

Ever wonder: How can a Walkie/Rider Electric Reach Stacker Truck improve my warehouse efficiency?

In a facility which includes storage racking up to three stories high and two pallets deep. Where forklifts can’t manage the depth and a straddle stacker can’t get under the racking and you also require a truck to place and remove product on die machines.

The Stärke Liftmaxx electric reach stackers can manage those height and reach concerns.  They come in two models, a walkie reach truck or rider reach truck. The rider can include a side-shift operation as well, making the process of stacking and unstacking pallets easier. Both options are ergonomically designed for operator comfort, and will offer the two pallet deep storage option.

Some of the electric reach stacker's strengths include:

Narrow aisles

Higher reach increase storage space

Double reach offers two pallet deep storing

Considering a reach stacker in the design stage of your facility will increase the efficiency of your operation’s square footage because of the reach truck’s versatile applications.

Side-shift is an available option to offer more maneuverability in narrow aisles.

Rider option allows for improved ergonomics on longer hauls and/or more cycles.

Unit comes with AC industrial batteries; which are excellent in applications where longer run times and/or more repetition is required.
