UniCarriers presents Tergo UFW multidirectional truck

Written by UniCarriers, 5-sep-2014 11:27:00

World premiere for the new multidirectional truck from international industrial truck manufacturer UniCarriers. The Tergo UFW is designed specifically for the requirements in the transport and stacking of long goods and all kind of pallet loads with the same performance as a heavy duty reach truck. To this end, the centre distance of the forks can be hydraulically enlarged as standard. The advantage: all loads can be held conveniently and transported safely. Moreover, the unique Tergo ergonomics together with excellent visibility through mast, overhead guard and pillars in accordance with the new ProVision concept, guarantees all-round vision at all times. With an additional reverse travel camera the ends of the load remain completely visible, which allows particularly precise manoeuvring of the load.

UniCarriers-Tergo-UFW-forkliftOne for many: in one model, the new Tergo UFW combines the advantages of a multidirectional truck with those of a reach truck. Its versatility makes it suitable for the broadest range of functions in the warehouse. The fork width can be adjusted hydraulically as standard from 560 mm up to 1550 mm or optionally even up to 2220 mm, which simplifies the storage, retrieval and transport of loads with various lengths. With a maximum load capacity of 2,500 kg, a lift height up to 9700 mm (both on model UFW 250) and a top speed of 13 km/h, the Tergo UFW guarantees maximum work efficiency even when handling pallets. For optimum manoeuvrability in narrow warehouse aisles it is possible to control the steering wheels individually. With the ergonomic hydraulic control levers, the direction of travel can be adapted from crosswise to lengthwise within a second. In confined warehouses, goods can therefore be manoeuvred quickly and within the minimum space.

On the move safely in the warehouse

The Tergo UFW is equipped with many safety systems, which improve the industrial safety in the warehouse. The ProVision concept ensures a full view from all angles: the mast system, overhead guard and sides are designed to create optimum visibility conditions. The optional reverse travel camera in the cockpit also allows reversing without unnecessary turning of the head. Here, the ends of the load remain completely visible even when transporting long goods. One technical innovation of the UFW is the Fork Safe Zone (FSZ) system as a further safety option, which prevents the forks from colliding with the wheel arms. With this option, the position and movement of the forks are continuously detected and stopped from any position if the forks are approaching the wheel arms. As such, the FSZ helps to avoid damage both to the goods being transported and to the lift truck and it therefore effectively helps to reduce maintenance costs. The standard Dynamic Cornering Control (DCC), which detects different variables to allow quick and safe cornering, together with the S3-2 safety system improves the driving characteristics and the stability of the lift truck. The advantages of the S3-2 system include automatic adjustment of the driving speed to the direction of travel and improved traction when cornering. Moreover, the UFW identifies the weight of the load on every trip and, based on this, calculates the required braking force. Additionally the standard Weight indicator system is updated with tare functionality. This allows to weigh and summarise multiple pallet loads up to 100 000 tons.

Ergonomics for a high level of working comfort

Like all models from the Tergo series from UniCarriers, the UFW also has an ergonomic and customisable driver’s cab: the equipment features include the unique UniCarriers mini steering wheel on a floating armrest for steering the truck. Together with a specially designed tilting backrest, which minimises the neck angle, the Tergo UFW is very gentle on the joints. Standard is also an electric height-adjustable floor plate and the Ergologic. With Ergologic, the hydraulic functions of the lift truck can be controlled intuitively and effortlessly, so signs of fatigue and tension due to an adverse arm position are prevented. Compared with the previous model, the Tergo UFW also has significantly lower noise emissions and is the quietest in its class on the market. Drivers benefit not only from an ergonomic device but also from quieter and therefore less stressful operation.
