High performance in cross-docking, efficient over long distances

Written by UniCarriers, 15-apr-2015 11:37:00

Combined forklift competence: after their merger, Atlet, Nissan Forklift and TCM now present the first result of the joint development work under the umbrella of UniCarriers Corporation. With the introduction of the new PDP 200, the Swedish truck manufacturer UniCarriers combines maximum efficiency with long distance capacity. With the option of transporting two pallets at once in every cycle, the double stacker improves the turnover rate for cross-docking. Available with folding operator platform and foldable side protection bars or driver protected platform, ergonomic and safe work is guaranteed even over longer distances.

UniCarriers-PDP-200-forkliftDepending on the mast, the new PDP 200 has a maximum lifting height of 1,675 mm or 2,090 mm plus initial lift and can transport loads with a total weight of 1000 kg + 1000 kg on forks and straddle lift. “With a driving speed of up to 10 km/h loaded, the PDP 200 allows a high pallet throughput in cross-docking and rapid lorry loading/unloading”, says Marja Högnelid, Product Manager at UniCarriers Europe. “In this way we can offer our customers the best of two worlds in one truck.” The PDP 200 is powered by an AC motor with an integrated anti-rollback feature. The user can conveniently ride on the fold-up operator platform or operate it on foot as a pedestrian stacker. The new designed platform offers an ergonomically optimised travel position and its cushioning reduces vibrations during travel. The forklift therefore offers maximum user comfort even for longer transport cycles.

The stability support system (S3) from UniCarriers ensures safety in the warehouse: it automatically reduces the speed of the forklift when travelling through corners and thus minimises the risk of accidents. Folding side protection bars provide reliable support for the operator even at the top speed. Furthermore, as the first double stacker forklift in the UniCarriers range, the PDP 200 offers an ISO-certified overhead guard. Another safety aspect is the electronic access control; before using the forklift, all drivers identify themselves on the on-board computer with an access code or personal RFID card. Depending on the user profile, the truck is then available with full or reduced power.

For high uptime and increasing service intervals, many components of the PDP 200 are protected from the ingress of dust and moisture in accordance with protection classes IP 65 and IP 67. Additionally, the modular structure familiar from Atlet increases the efficiency of the forklift: the truck is compatible with existing components from the UniCarriers portfolio, which noticeably speeds up maintenance and reduces service costs.
