Benefits stack up in tight spaces
April 1st 2006

The latest generation pedestrian stacker from Atlet, the Alto PS, is designed for extended work cycles in tight spaces in warehouses and production facilities.

The 1250kg capacity unit will stack loads up to 3.5m. It measures just 800mm wide by 1898mm long and has a tight turning circle.

Control is via an ergonomically designed tiller arm, which features comfortable hand grips and easy action fingertip controls. Steering is progressive with a tiller arm angle of just 70° giving a 90° lock. These features are designed to reduce arm movement when driving the truck, reducing the risk of strain to the operator's arms and wrists, and to facilitate easy manoeuvring.

The truck is powered by a robust, economical 1kW AC motor with a high capacity 230Ah battery, providing high travel speed, rapid acceleration and swift fork lift and lower.

The motor is fitted with the Atlet truck computer - ATC - which has built-in diagnostic capabilities to enable rapid fault finding, which reduces servicing and maintenance downtime. The ATC also enables the Alto's driving characteristics to be programmed to suit the preferences of individual operators. The appropriate settings are automatically activated when the operator's PIN is entered to access the unit.
