That same concept of high usage is brought through into the 2.5 tonne and 3 tonne forklift trucks in the Cesab Centauro 80V range. This forklift truck again has those design characteristics so important on the other ranges with AC technology just as important. For example the effect that it has when braking the forklift truck helps reduce servicing costs by assisting electrically with the braking and the brushless motors means less carbon dust and less down time inspecting the motors. All this means advantages for the owners as well as the operators of a Cesab forklift truck.
Here’s what Cesab say about the Centauro 80V range
The new cenTAURO 80 250 – 300 AC Technology range is an extremely compact four wheel truck combining excellent maneuverability with all the advantages of AC motor control technology. The range comprises models with lifting capacities from 2500 to 3000 Kg and lifting heights up to 6.100 mm.
Lifting and hydraulic functions are powerful and progressive thanks to a high power AC hydraulic pump motor enabling frequent lifting to high levels.
AC Technology utilises components that are designed to cope with rapid direction changes ensuring smooth acceleration and braking and outstanding efficiency. AC Technology also provides exceptional driver control on ramps and gradients with electronic braking eliminating roll back without the need for engaging the brakes. The CAN-bus system simplifies the electrical system by significantly reducing the wiring and increases the flexibility of the truck control system. Low power consumption batteries gives the range exceptional autonomy of operation.
The new concept steering axle makes acute steering angles possible and is mounted on silent blocks for improved operator comfort and quieter operation.
Operator’s comfort is maximised with the standard fitment of a fully adjustable, full suspension seat together with an adjustable steering column. The parking brake lever is easily reachable and the and the raised driving position provides the operator with excellent visibility of the load and the area around the truck for safe maneuvering.
The AC drive Technology also comes into effect during braking, increasing the lifetime of components and considerably reducing braking system servicing costs.
