Take 5 – CommunicationsSafe truckin’Transmon Engineering has updated its iTEch Control system for limiting the speed of forklift trucks, with the introduction of measures for reducing operational costs.
Designed to restrict a lift truck’s top travel speed, the iTEch Control system can be fitted to any type of forklift truck. To reduce fuel consumption, minimise servicing and reduce downtime, an idle shutdown feature has been added, the unit’s fitting time has been reduced, and the need to modify the trucks during installation has been overcome. Other upgrades include a new Motor Controller, which means the system can now be fitted to lift trucks with both ‘drive-by-wire’ electronic throttle control and traditional cable-operated throttles.
