Design
Designed with the aid of the latest methods FEM (Finite Element Modeling) and CAD (Computer Assisted Design).

Performance
The (12V) PMC or (24V) SEM transistor control system delivers peak performance and modern high-tech simplicity. MOSFET transistor modules control the truck's travel, delivering high performance and maximum efficiency.

Maintenance
All electric, electronic, and hydraulic components are conveniently mounted in the chassis. Accessibility is easy, even with the truck in the working aisle. These time and money saving details are appreciated by both the serviceman and the operations manager.

Transistor Controls
The wear-free PMC/SEM systems ensure:

Efficient, infinite control from zero to maximum speed
Sensitive, smooth acceleration and deceleration
Higher efficiency per battery charge
Protection for the electronic components

These transistor controllers are superior to SCR systems in providing efficient cost-effective performance and torque control. The transistor controllers reduce motor and battery losses and increase the truck's range and cycle time per battery charge.

Drive motor
The EWS is available with either a 12-volt or 24-volt motor. Both Class-H high-performance motors are series-wound and open-ventilated for energy efficient, cool operation. Excellent performance, dependability and low-energy consumption are provided through the utilization of quality materials and the matching of the motor to the gear train.

Drive unit
The truck's drive motor armature shaft gear is coupled directly to precision machined, double-reduction spur gears that transfer power to the drive tire. All gears are heat treated, chromium-alloy steel, providing maximum life and dependability. The gears are immersed in an oil bath to reduce friction and wear. A tough, web-reinforced casting protects the gear train which rotates on four tapered roller bearings. The drive tire can be easily removed for routine inspection or replacement by simply removing the wheel hub nuts.

Hydraulic system
The integral hydraulic power unit is self-contained to eliminate unnecessary oil lines and fittings. The unit consists of an oil reservoir with sight gage and an internally mounted gear-type pump and intake filter screen. The pump is driven by an externally mounted pump motor with Class-F insulation.

Frame
Modern-designed componentry utilizes heavy steel plates welded into a rigid unitized structure which results in a frame that will not distort under the most severe operating conditions.

Tru-View masts
High visibility masts employ rolled alloy C-channel for maximum strength and chrome plated pistons. To resist distortion from off-center loading, rugged, welded steel cross-bracing provides a rigid assembly. Permanently sealed roller bearings are used in the mast to provide for off-center loads, friction reduction, and ease of maintenance. The carriage, constructed from alloy steel plates, mounts on large load rollers with antifriction bearings and side thrust rollers.

Outriggers
The steel outriggers are available in a range of widths. For added service life, the load wheels are mounted in steel housings and protected by tapered, enclosed tips. The outriggers are welded into the mast support members as an integral part of the chassis.

Operator control
The multifunction, castmetal, wrap around control handle provides a wide protected area for the operator's hand. The dual-roller grip control handle governs travel direction and speed. The operator can effortlessly reach the lift/lower lever or use push buttons. The truck's speed and direction are selected by rotating the fluted rollers by hand or thumb. The multifunction roller control includes a spring return-to-neutral feature when released. All of the truck's basic controls (lift, lower, horn) can be operated by either a left or right-handed operator without removing thier hands from the roller grips. A reversing switch located at the end of the steering handle will automatically reverse the truck's travel direction if it comes in contact with an object.

Brakes
Smooth, controlled braking is accomplished when the steering handle is in a vertical or horizontal position. The truck can also be stopped electrically through plugging. When the control handle is released, a spring returns the handle to the vertical position which applies the brake and cuts the travel power. When the brake is applied, a switch is activated which disrupts current to the traction controls. A set of internal expanding brake shoes applies pressure to the brake drum mounted on the drive motor's armature shaft. This design takes advantage of the full gear reduction of the drive unit, providing easier braking and longer lining life. Since the brake is mounted on the outside of the drive motor, routine maintenance and service can be accomplished quickly.

Battery compartment
No valves, oil lines, fittings, or electrical components are located under the chassis or battery.
