Design
The three-wheel electric tow tractor model P60Z, represents a significant advance in ergonomics and technology. Designed to ensure maximum operator comfort and minimum fatigue, as well as high productivity and lowest lifetime costs, it is particularly suited to a range of industrial environments including airports, railways, postal services, hospitals and the automotive industry. The P60Z has a nominal towing capacity of 13,000 lbs. and an unladen traction speed of 11.0 mph. An exclusive range of optional equipment ensures that this highly versatile tractor can be adapted for use in all types of applications.

Features

Modern styling and powerful towing capability
Compact, rugged design for excellent maneuverability and versatility
Smooth, energy efficient, virtually noise free digital traction control
Ergonomically-designed driver’s compartment
Heavy duty, high performance design
Integral chassis suspension and low center of gravity provide both excellent anti-roll handling charateristics and superb stability

Driver’s compartment and controls
A low step facilitates access to the driver’s compartment, which has a spacious, uncluttered floor plate covered with textured, non-slip rubber matting. The automotive layout of the pedals, direction lever, steering wheel and controls enable safe, comfortable and efficient operation. A combination instrument indicates parking brake applied/low brake fluid level, driver alert, turn signal indicator, direction of travel, drive motor brush wear warning and drive motor temperature warning combined with progressive traction slow down. The instrument also includes a battery discharge indicator and hour meter to enable planning of maintenance intervals and battery charging schedules for optimum performance and reliability. The driver’s compartment also provides storage space for drink containers and a clipboard, plus a fully adjustable PVC covered seat with document pouch.

Chassis
The chassis has been designed for maximum strength and stability using the latest finite element stress analysis techniques. The lower pressed steel section provides excellent rigidity and rugged strength and protects all major components. The battery is located between the two axles for maximum stability. The top section is comprised of two robust, double skinned, impact resistant, polyethylene moldings – the hood and seat pan. The latter of these can be tilted back to provide easy access for maintenance and battery changing. The modular design maximizes material utilization.

Transmission and suspension
A powerful 3.2 kW, separately excited (shunt wound) drive motor is mounted transversely on the drive axle. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a rugged drive axle and differential. Integral full chassis suspension ensures excellent ride characteristics.

Electrical system
The tractor is fitted with a microprocessor based, digital, high frequency control system. In conjunction with the drive motor, it enables precise control of speed and acceleration for safe operation and high productivity. A high number of work cycles can be obtained from each battery charge due to the high efficiency of this system.

Steering
Manual steering is both light and responsive requiring minimum steering effort, thus ensuring high maneuverability with minimum operator fatigue.

Towing coupling and carrier
The tractor has a multi-position, rear towing coupling as standard equipment. The carrying compartment molded into the rear chassis has a load capacity of 330 pounds.

Lighting
The standard lighting package is comprised of two headlights protected by grills, side and rear lights and brake lights. A seven-pin trailer lighting socket is also fitted.

Braking
The tractor has three independent braking systems:

Hydraulic drum brakes on all three wheels
Hand lever operated parking brake mechanically connected to rear wheels
Electrical regenerative braking that occurs:
1. As accelerator pedal is released
2. When opposite direction of travel is selected
3. Automatically on grades with release of the accelerator pedal

Electrical regenerative braking returns electrical energy to the battery minimizing wear on the service brakes. On grades, speed is automatically reduced when the accelerator pedal is released to prevent overspeeding.
