Kinds of AC Forklifts
In today's busy material handling market, application efficiency, low maintenance and of course high power are all essential features. AC technology is ideally suited for indoor uses, particularly with its brushless features. This type of forklift is virtually maintenance free and lets you focus on finishing the job.
Kinds
There are different types of AC forklifts that can meet and even exceed all your needs. Design for indoor use offers low maintenance and dependable power. Some of the many types of high capacity lift trucks provided by Hyundai are Tow Tractors/ Tuggers, Electric Counterbalanced Lift Trucks, Very Narrow Aisle Turret Lift Trucks, Walkie 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 kinds are much more cost effective and dependable compared to the traditional direct current or DC technology. AC forklifts were designed to offer high power indoor applications. Normally, a battery of 36 to 80 volts is used to obtain the power and torque needed. The AC technology enables a longer time period in between recharging. This allows the forklift to be used for longer periods of time. Additionally, the AC motors are absolutely enclosed and this reduces exposure and dust with no motor brushes, meaning less sparking and a lot less maintenance.
Benefits
Eliminating the need for maintenance would definitely give you a lot more time to focus on your visits. This can also save you a little money. As discussed earlier, AC technology does not have motor brushes which also lowers maintenance and increases productivity. Another bonus is that AC motors have less wearable parts leading to savings on components and labor. AC motors are overall much quieter compared to DC motors and this helps increase operator awareness on the jobsite.
Manufacturers
Today, there are many manufacturers that offer AC power forklifts. Several of the brands available comprise Raymond, Hyundai, Hyster, Mariotti, and Yale.
