Rico has built a reputation on building the strongest and most

reliable trucks in the industry. Our designs and manufacturing

experiences have truly redefined the material handling

industry.

All Rico Platform trucks are designed in 3 versions: Walk

Behind, Stand Up or Sit Down riders with each offering its own

unique features. In either case, the operator has more

confidence through operator comfort, control, and visibility.

On the platform truck series, every feature is matches by

serviceability and excellence in design. No matter how big or

small your job, performance is of the highest priority.

Features include...

• AC or DC drive systems

• Stationary mounted dual or single drive motors

• Helical beveled transmission

• Power Steering or Manual steer options

• Electric or mechanical brakes

Flexibility, Versatility, Efficiency are all trademarks of Rico and

are incorporated into our designs. In true Rico style, our

platform trucks are manufactured with various lift heights,

capacities, platform sizes and control options to handle a

diverse list of applications.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITYThe Rico drive system is powered by programmable

controllers that feature on-board service diagnostic and

on-site customizable capability. Maximum travel and creep

speed are just two of the many controller settings that are

adjustable.

Performance is maximized by high torque drive motors that

are coupled with vertically mounted transmissions providing a

strong combination of power and reliability. Motors are

equipped with large surface contact rotors in either

mechanical or electric brake designs providing safe and

secure stopping each and every time.

Rico platform trucks are designed to improve load handling,

load stability, and increased efficiency when lifting or

transporting heavy and awkward loads. We take more into

account than just the size of the platform for support. Our

heavy duty Platform under carriages are designed with hinge

style lift for maximum load capacity and increased platform

stability, pallet style lift for high capacity and low platform

height applications, or our mast style lift for increased lifting

height requirements. Each style delivers exceptional

performance and are designed to meet your specific

application.

Operators enjoy comfort through a tilt steering column, semi-

suspension or air ride seat and optional heated and air

conditioned cab. Large steps and hand rails provide easy

access from either side of the cab for operator safety and

convenience.

Safety is maximized through low profile drive ends for

operator visibility and for easy, accurate load spotting. Walk

behind models have integrated emergency reversing switch,

thumb throttle speed controls and high speed cut back switch

for operator safety. Rider models feature console mounted

power disconnects and an operator presents detection

sensor that prevents inadvertent operation of the vehicle.

We use A36 plate and high strength structural steel on all

welded frames. Strong, preheated, multiple-pass frame welds

specifically designed for the most severe operating conditions

are a trademark of the Rico Product Family.

SIMPLE MAINTENANCEAll vehicles are designed with maintenance and service in mind to
