At the beginning of February we delivered our redesigned AC250-8-CO 120V forklift truck with a lowered height profile to South Korea. A truck developed for a Korean company producing special steels for the aerospace industry. The project is the result of a collaboration with Manho Trading, distributor of forklift trucks and logistic solutions in South Korea. In early 2021 we will deliver a second truck with similar specifications.
The project has required for the survey by Manho Trading of the types of loads to be handled and the possible maximum dimensions at the customer\'s premises. The gradients and overall dimensions present in the aisles inside the storage sheds and the operational autonomy required for the truck.
The client company that purchased our forklift truck is a Korean company listed in the main Asian financial markets. It produces plates, cylinders, tubes and other special steels for the aeronautical and aerospace sectors. It has chosen the option of an electric forklift for greater sensitivity to environmental aspects and to aspects related to the reduction of daily costs of using the forklift.
Based on these elements collected by our Korean distributor we redesigned our AC250-8-CO 120V: 25000 kg at 800 mm load centre, compact in length, 120V. The forklift has been lowered from the standard 3100 mm to a total height of 2690 mm to allow the trolley to pass between doors and tunnels 2900 mm high.
It is equipped with a triplex mast with free lift, side shifter independent from the fork positioner, 2 kits of forks quickly interchangeable with each other to be able to handle various types of loads positioned on different conveyor belts that have different fork carrier plates in different sizes. To the cab with roof and windows that offers a wide visibility to the operator we have provided 3 video cameras: 1 to allow the operator to have a better visibility in reverse. The other 2 cameras are mounted on the fork carrier plate and one on the left profile of the mast to make material handling easier.
The truck has been equipped with two 120V 1860Ah batteries each to be available for unloading/loading lorries and in stock within 24 hours. Each battery offers an operating autonomy of 7 hours and are interchangeable in less than 3 minutes.
We at Raniero have sent two of our technicians during the delivery of the forklift truck to South Korea. The installation of the mast, forks and cabin took a day\'s work. The second day was used for the training of the operators in the use and for the training of the Manho Trading technicians. At the same time, this course explained how to use our Raniero software.
The Raniero software was developed directly by our company. It allows technicians to monitor every single forklift either by connecting it directly to the forklift or remotely (option on request), sitting comfortably from their office. To be able to configure it and obtain information in real time or in each moment/period in the past. To these functions is added a rich data base regarding the machine functions, suggestions and explanations to possible anomalies detected.
