| PRODUCTIVITY | • Thanks to a series of technological innovations, the efficiency of the truck is improved and energy consumption is reduced. • By optimizing the transmission design, the engineers were able to increase the maximum driving speed by 20% • The new efficient lighting system uses LEDs and a new type of reflector to reduce energy consumption. This significantly improves illumination performance while also prolonging operation time. • The new dynamic load sensing hydraulic steering system requires 15% less hydraulic oil while providing a 15% increase in lifting speed. |
| OPERATOR COMFORT | • While developing the 17,500-22,000lb XF Series, comfort and ease of operation were carefully considered. The engineers decreased vibration levels by using a compound engine damper and full floating seat and cabin. The forklift was made more comfortable because a comfortable operator leads to increased operational productivity. • The foot space is now 30% wider to significantly reduce operator fatigue. The new wide, non-slip step makes getting in and out of the forklift safe and easy. • The easy-to-operate levers provide total load handling operation. The armrest is provided to reduce fatigue. The optional electro-hydraulic proportional control system gives the forklift the ability to make load handling more sensitive and precise. • The mast was redesigned to provide broad forward visibility. This was done by relocating the hydraulic pipes of the fork positioner to the outside of the mast. |
| COMFORTABLE OPERATION | • The new relocated, easy-to-see LCD instrument display lets the operator check on all aspects of operational status with a glance. • The new automobile-style light/turn-signal stalk and the forward-reverse lever are ergonomically designed and arranged to improve comfort and productivity. • Only 90N of force is required to engage the parking brake. • The small-diameter steering wheel, with tilt adjustment, provides an optimal driving position for the operator. The superior responsiveness of the steering wheel optimizes maneuverability even in narrow spaces. • The automobile-style suspended pedals provide a more ergonomic, operator-centered experience. |
| EASY TO MAINTAIN | • Designed for easy inspection and servicing. The XF Series’ quick and easy maintenance reduces downtime and operational costs. • The location of the air filter allows for easy reach and replacement when the filter needs to be changed. • The brake drum is installed outside of wheel hub allowing for easy removal and installation of the brake shoes. • The engine oil level dipstick, hydraulic filter, and water separator are easy to reach and allow for easy maintenance. • The gas spring support for the front cover of the radiator auto-opens when the rear cover of the radiator is opened. |
