Kinds of AC Forklifts
In the current busy material handling market, low maintenance, application efficiency and of course high power are crucial features. AC technology is ideally suited for indoor uses, particularly with its brushless features. This particular kind of forklift is virtually maintenance free and lets you focus on completing the job.
Kinds
There are a variety of AC forklifts available to suit and surpass all your individual business requirements. Design for indoor application offers reliable power and low maintenance. Some of the numerous types of high capacity forklifts provided by Hyundai are Electric Counterbalanced Lift Trucks, Tow Tractors/ Tuggers, Walkie Trucks, Very Narrow Aisle Turret Lift Trucks, Narrow Aisle Order Picker Lift Trucks and Electric Narrow Aisle Lift Trucks.
Function
AC or alternating current technology is energy efficient and more productive. These models are a lot more dependable and cost effective than the conventional direct current or DC technology. AC forklifts were designed to offer high power indoor applications. Generally, a battery of 36 to 80 volts is used to obtain the torque and power necessary. The AC technology provides a longer time period in between recharging. This allows the forklift to be used for a longer time. Additionally, the AC motors are enclosed completely and this lessens dust and exposure with no motor brushes, which means a lot less maintenance and less sparking.
Benefits
Being able to eliminate your maintenance gives you much more time to focus on your visit and saves you some money. As discussed earlier, AC technology does not have motor brushes that also lessens maintenance and increases productivity. Another advantage is that AC motors have less wearable components leading to savings on parts and labor. AC motors are overall much quieter than DC motors and this helps increase operator awareness on the job location.
Manufacturers
These days, there are many manufacturers that provide AC power forklifts. Some of the brands available include Hyundai, Raymond, Mariotti, Yale and Hyster.
