Improved Safety Design

HIGH VISIBILITY MAST DESIGN
Computer analysis has helped to create an optimal design and compartment layout that provides excellent visibility without compromising rigidity. Forward visibility is greatly improved by widening the space between the masts and carefully adjusting cylinder and chain positioning. An increased distance between finger bars boosts both operability and safety.

VACUUM BOOSTER BRAKE SYSTEM
The vacuum booster device operates independent of engine rotation. Differing from hydraulic braking mechanisms, braking power on this forklift truck is possible even after the engine has been shut off.

NEUTRAL SAFETY MECHANISM
With the neutral safety mechanism available on powershift transmission models (and optionally on manual transmission models) the engine cannot be started unless the directional change lever is in the neutral position.

LPG TANK BRACKET
(optional on LPG models)
A swing down bracket is available to ease the onerous task of changing LPG tanks.

- Use of gas filled cylinder allows the tanks to be smoothly lifted into position.
- The tank is low to the ground for easy attachment and detachment, reducing operator fatigue.
