Description

Tergo® is a range of five unique reach truck models in 8 capacities, one multi-directional reach truck for long load handling and a VNA truck that is as flexible as a reach truck.
The Tergo URS, which is based on the Tergo family, is a reach truck and VNA-truck in one model. It´s capacity is up to 1500 kg with lift heights to 10350 mm. Maximum storage capacity in the minimum of space, with maximum utilization of labor, it is the VNA truck with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
The Tergo® design is the result of an investigation of customer requirements, customers request a design suitable for VNA operations that also benefit from being a multi-purpose truck.
An ideal workplace eliminates fatigue and supports drivers to stay focused for their whole shift. The URS fits operators of all sizes and combined with a great ergonomic design it ensures an efficient and comfortable working day.
With driver settings linked to individual operator PIN codes or RFID cards, each, and every driver can have their own personal performance settings.
Novice drivers will perform safely at a speed suitable to their experience. As their experience grows they will be given new truck settings to maintain safety at the same time as improving performance to the maximum.
The URS is 85% Tergo®. This means all engineers carry the Tergo® parts in their mobile depot and all engineers have the knowledge and skill to provide excellent after care ensuring maximum up-time.
Current uptime levels are in excess of 96% when serviced from field based engineers and 98% with site based engineers.

Innovations

• Drivers well being through superior ergonomic design.
• The adjustability of the operator’s cabin to best suit all drivers is unequalled in the industry.
• The seat, with weight adjustable suspension linked to the unique shaped and tapered tilting backrest, the position of the mini steering wheel as well as right hand control positions and the height of the floor, including pedals, can be configured by each driver for maximum individual comfort.
• Preset driving characteristics for safety reasons for novice drivers – linked to PIN code or RFID card.
• The Ergologic joystick offers the operator unparalleled comfort, and by doing so improves performance and efficiency. Just fingertip movement only, is required to operate all hydraulic functions. The drivers arm and torso remain in a relaxed natural and neutral position.
• Improved performance: Lift speed increased by 9.3%, Reach speed increased by a magnificent 50% , total work cycle performance improved by 12%.
• Dynamic Cornering Control – DCC enabling high and safe cornering speed at the highest safety level. Patent pending.
• Maneuverability: The free range ability combined with the VNA capability makes this the most versatile truck in the industry.
• Simulations show the URS outperforms all others with performance from 3% to 11% greater.

Market relevance

A truck that is so manoeuvrable provides a maximum of cost effectiveness and flexibility for the user.
VNA operations require Feeder equipment to:

• Put pallets into or take out from Pick up and Deposit areas (P & Ds)
• Take pallets from P & Ds and put into or take out from VNA racks
• The versatile UniCarriers URS does not require P&Ds and can do all of the above in one truck

Man-up VNA trucks require specialist service support. Specialists are often nationwide support and not local to the customer. For the Tergo URS is based on the Tergo family, it does not require specialist service support.The aftercare requirements are carried out by local service engineers. They have the parts, the expertise and the ability to provide customers with rapid response
The Tergo® has the most customizable driver’s cabin with a combination of 350 settings. Every part of the driver that comes into contact with the truck can be adjusted to best suit each individual.
Reach truck drivers intuitively feel at home with the URS.
The URS Ergologic joystick control is a standard fitted to all other Tergo® trucks.It is a familiar type of machine carrying out the duty of a VNA machine and a Reach truck.
Simplistically ergonomic, versatile and the most flexible truck of its type.

Customer benefits

The URS provides 2 trucks for the price of one with maximum economical use of space, people and equipment.
The VNA principle is about utilization of space. VNA allows the same area of the warehouse to house up to 35% more storage which avoids building more or larger warehouses.
The overall handling efficiency of the warehouse system is a combination and balance of the three main cost resources: Space, 60-65%, Labor, 20-30%, Materials handling equipment, 5-10%.
Ironically the lowest of these three costs, (the fork lift) has the greatest influence on the overall economy of the whole system.
Using VNA means increasing the space utilisation to increase storage capacity or decrease the size of the warehouse. In either case we reduce the largest of the three costs, which is the space required for the warehousing system.
VNA trucks, in particular Man-up versions are so large they cannot travel easily throughout the building are therefore restricted to working and travelling in the main racking part of the warehouse. Other equipment and other drivers must bring products to and from the warehouse.
The VNA system with the UniCarriers URS truck, works without other feeder equipment and therefore without other drivers. The URS is so versatile and flexible that it can travel throughout the whole building and it is not restricted to the warehouse.
This gives the customers maximum space utilization with minimum of labor and costs.
