Fatigue level reduction of 20%

I (compared to our prevision models)
The reduction in right-angle stacking aisle width largely reduce the steering-turn operations by the operator. Unnecessary operations are minimized to enable reduction of operator fatigue levels.

Warehouse/storage efficiency increase of 10%

(compared to our prevision models)
The reduction in right-angle stacking aisle width enables better utilization of storage space in a warehouse. Increasing the number of rack is made possible by narrowing the aisle width which allows larger volume of storage.

Reduction of power consumption cost A reduction in power consumption cost of 24% compared to our previous models has been achieved by reducing power consumption. [*8FBR15C model] (JIS D6202:?011 in-company test value occurring in operation cycle pattern)

The calculation of the CO2 emission amount is based on the new and old models performing the same operations (operational limit of workload for previous vehicles). (The CO2 conversion coefficient value is used by Tokyo Electric Power Company according to emission coefficients for each electric power supplier by the Ministry of the Environment in 2010.)

Reduction of CO2 emission amount

Compared to our previous models, a reduction of 356 kg/year in CO2 emissions is realized by reducing power consumption. The reduction in CO2 emissions by the QuaPro-R contributes to our customer’s environmental activities. [*8FBR15C model]

Prolong of operating time

Prolong of approximately 2 hours in operating time compared to our previous models is realized by reducing power consumption. Auxiliary charging is reduced which provides advantages in various situations such as reductions in the entire operation time, or even continuous operation when unexpected additional work is required.

QuaPro-R design concept: Integration of human and machine.
The inching ability of the QuaPro-R during travel and load handling has been thoroughly revised to realize spontaneous operation in response to the operator’s intentions. Moreover, operator-oriented vehicle manufacturing has been conducted for easy getting on and off by lowering the floor while maintaining good mast visibility. The integrated human-machine operation feel enhances load handling efficiency, and leads to overall productivity improvement. In addition, AWC (small turn radius control) is equipped to realize its key concept of a minimum turning diameter (minimum right-angle stacking aisle width). Selection to minimize 90-degree turning (stacking mode) during load handling can be performed freely.

The QuaPro-R pursues a comfortable operation feel that goes one step further.

Stacking mode, minimizing the right-angle stacking aisle width, can be selected at a touch. In-place turns / turning mode, minimizing the turning radius during U-turns, also can be selected at a touch. In stacking mode, the optimum steering angle and axis of rotation are applied automatically to minimize the right-angle stacking aisle width. Being assisted by these features, the operator can make turns at the minimum right-angle stacking aisle width simply by turning the steering wheel to the maximum steering end without minding the optimum steering angle.

By revising the previous accelerator and acceleration characteristics, smooth and comfortable speed control range from low to high is realized. When fast acceleration is required, the vehicle can be accelerated quickly, and when performing fine inching operations, moderate acceleration and acceleration characteristics responding to conditions are realized.

By expanding the low speed range of the lift valve, an easy-to-use characteristic which enhances inching operations during load handling is realized. Moreover, by switching the load handling motor to an AC motor and optimizing the control during motor start-up, inching performance is improved and good response has been achieved.

Lowered floor

The QuaPro-R has the lowest floor height of 250 mm that tops the industry, -45 mm compare to previous models. This contributes to reduced operator fatigue in reach-forklift truck work with its frequent getting on and off.

Back support High-back support

A back support (supports the operator’s back) and a high-back support (supports the shoulders from the sides) are newly adopted. Support during switchbacks from reverse to forward is provided, and fatigue during normal operation is reduced.

The back support can be adjusted in the vertical direction.

Illumination equipment for safe operation

LED headlight (3-LED type)

The compact headlight does not reduce the visibility and overhead space. An automatic dimming function is not available. (Power consumption: 7.2 W)

LED auto-light (Illuminance sensing type)

he 8-LED type light illuminates in a wider area. This environmental-spec illumination automatically dims according to the surrounding brightness. (Power consumption: 19.2 W/4.8 W (dimmed))

Carriage light

A front light is newly equipped on the carriage. The load (fork insertion point) and rack are directly illuminated, load handling operations can be performed more safely.

Safety laser

When the forks are detected as being horizontal, horizontal lasers are projected into the insertion holes on the pallet. The operator can determine the fork insertion height accurately and safely. This enhance the efficient of the operation.
