During the lowering of the forks with no load the fork speed is reduced to ensure a soft landing allowing the forks to settle gently, reducing noise and damage.

For more than 30 years The HANGCHA Group has played a leading role in the manufacture and production of Chinese forklifts and are constantly striving to develop and incorporate the latest advances in forklift design and technology to

ensure an optimum level of performance at all times. The new generation J series forklifts truly exemplifies this commitment to excellence.

The distinctive features of the new 1.0-3.5t J series electric four wheel counterbalance forklift are:

• Versatility of use due to the compact design and minimal operating space required. Compact dimensions and superb maneuverability.

• The long wheelbase, wide tyres and low centre of gravity provide solid stability when stationary or cornering.• Low maintenance costs and highly efficient, maintenance free, fully enclosed 3 phase AC asynchronous motors

means the J series is economical to operate.

The battery is housed in the lowest part of the frame reducing the overall dimensions of the truck and ensuring stability whilst travelling.

A large low non slip step provides easy entry and exit from the ergonomically designed compartment. A clear footwell with well placed pedals gives plenty of leg room and a safe working environment. The adjustable steering column and driver’s seat ensure a comfortable working position.

Hydraulic levers can be mounted beside the battery or on either scuttle giving easy access from either side. Two strong grab handles are provided.

A clear footwell with well placed pedals gives plenty of leg room and helps the driver work safely.

Safe and easy access is assured with the large non slip step and grab handle.

There is the option to upgrade to the luxury semi-suspension seat,

The gas spring lock function offers easy access to the battery cover when running through the daily checkup routines.

A full dotted LCD multi display panel with convenient functions such as battery level indicator, truck operation records and password entries can be found on the steering column to improve visibility and control. When travelling the travel speed and BDI (Battery Discharge Indicator) is displayed. When stopping the clock is displayed along with all relevant information.

The CURTIS high frequency controller has a powerful microprocessor and powerful MOSFET electronics which control the trucks movements precisely from smooth sensitive inching to powerful acceleration and regenerative braking at a reduced noise level and with high energy efficiency.

The new controller also offers sophisticated communication facilities and built-in diagnostics to reduce downtime. All electronics are housed inside the chassis body to protect them from external damage.

AC Power SystemMultiple benefits of the AC Power System include fast response to operator commands, precise power control and compact components and since the AC motor does not use contractors and brushes these maintenance items will no longer be required. It also allows for a revolutionary new forklift design and performance so enhanced the operator can actually feel the difference.

A fully enclosed chassis frame houses the drive motors. The hydraulic and drive components are protected against dirt and water. Due to their compact design these trucks are exceptionally robust.

The main electrical equipment is housed inside the operators compartment. The main motor pump and oil tank can be accessed by opening the left and right cover hood. No tools are required to remove the floor plate.

DC Power SystemMultiple benefits of the AC Power System include fast response to operator cThe SEM drive motor provides more advanced control features. The CURTIS controller controls travelling, lifting, tilting and steering, an excellent system for medium workloads and reduced costs.

Rear axle integrated steering cylinder suspended in the chassis with rubber bearings for constant floor contact of all four wheels. Rubber stoppers provide appropriate swinging limit of the steering axle and give greater cornering stability.

Hydraulic power steering combined with the drive motor system gives superb maneuverability, reduced noise levels and low energy consumption. The low steering force required further enhances operator comfort.

Independent braking systems:

• Regenerative Braking System• Front Wheel Brake Drum System• Toggle type parking Brake

Three Types of Regenerative Systems (AC & DC)• When the accelerator is releasedThe Regenerative Braking System comes in to operation when the truck is moving and the accelerator is released to collect the electrical power which has been created. The systems also acts as an engine brake slowing the speed of the forklift.• During SwitchbackRegenerative braking operates during travel whenever the direction lever is switched from forward to reverse or vice versa.• During BrakingRegenerative braking Operates whenever the brake pedal is depressed during travel. The regenerative system also helps to reduce brake lining wear and helps extend operating time per charge.
