Energy Efficiency and Extended Operation:
* The QuaPro-R model, which is Sumitomo’s flagship battery-operated reach forklift, boasts exceptional energy-saving performance. It operates for an impressive 9.8 hours on a single charge [https://www.shi.co.jp/english/products/logistics/forklift/index.html].
* By adopting an embedded battery synchronous motor (similar to those used in hybrid vehicles) and an AC motor for loading, this forklift maximizes efficiency and minimizes energy consumption.
Maneuverability in Tight Spaces:
* The QuaPro-R excels in small spaces, making it ideal for narrow passages and efficient storage.
* Sumitomo’s patented technology, AWC (small turn control), reduces the passage width for practical loading at right angles by 130mm, achieving an industry-leading width of 2,540mm [https://www.shi.co.jp/english/products/logistics/forklift/index.html].
Operator-Friendly Design:
* Sumitomo prioritizes the operator’s requirements. They have thoroughly reviewed driving performance and loading inching to provide natural maneuverability.
* With AWC, even less experienced operators can master turning technology, allowing precise operation as needed.
