Kinds of AC Forklifts
In today's busy material handling market, low maintenance, application efficiency and of course high power are all crucial features. AC technology is ideally suited for indoor applications, particularly with its brushless features. This particular kind of forklift is practically maintenance free and allows you to focus on finishing the task.
Kinds
There are various types of AC forklifts that can suit and even exceed all your requirements. Design for indoor application provides dependable power and low maintenance. Several of the many kinds of high capacity forklifts offered by Hyundai are Tow Tractors/ Tuggers, Electric Counterbalanced Lift Trucks, Walkie Trucks, Very Narrow Aisle Turret Lift Trucks, Electric Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks and Narrow Aisle Order Picker Lift Trucks.
Function
More productive is the alternating current or AC technology. It is also more energy efficient. These models are much more reliable and cost effective compared to the traditional direct current or DC technology. AC forklifts were meant to provide high power indoor use. Normally, a battery of 36 to 80 volts is used to get the torque and power needed. The AC technology enables a longer time period in between recharging. This enables the forklift to be utilized for a longer time. Moreover, the AC motors are completely enclosed and this reduces dust and exposure with no motor brushes, which means less sparking and a lot less maintenance.
Advantages
Being able to eliminate your maintenance gives you more time to concentrate on your visit and saves you quite a bit of money. As discussed previously, AC technology does not have motor brushes which also increases productivity and lessens maintenance. One more advantage is that AC motors have less parts that are wearable resulting in savings on components and labor. AC motors are overall a lot quieter compared to DC motors and this helps increase operator awareness on the job location.
Manufacturers
Several manufacturers currently provide AC power forklifts. Some of the brands available consist of Hyundai, Raymond, Mariotti, Yale and Hyster.
