Description

The new Still high lift pallet truck EXV-SF 16i is an efficient as well as economic electric warehouse truck for loads up to 2.0 t. It is a pedestrian and stand-on high lift pallet truck with a stand-on platform that is designed for usage in pedestrian operation in very narrow environments and for stand-on operation to cover long transport distances. This ensures high flexibility of the application. Furthermore, a high turnover performance is guaranteed as the high lift pallet truck combines the critical success factors compactness, power, precision, ergonomics, safety and environmental responsibility in a unique manner. The air-suspended stand-on platform or the patented load capacity indicator are just two features that confirm this fact. Already today, this truck answers the questions that will be posed in the future, regarding the megatrends in logistics. An example for this is the trend to urbanization and the respective challenge of short space. The EXV-SF with a very high residual capacity counters this effect. Also, the challenges of globalization, with more and more nationalities working together thus increasing the number of spoken languages, are conquered by the EXV-SF with a colour display which shows operator information and warning messages in a language neutral manner. With the EXV-SF, new standards are set to easily overcome the challenges of tomorrow.

Innovations

To maximize warehouse efficiency the operator of the EXV-SF series can draw on seven USPs. Starting with the unique, individually adjustable air-suspended stand-on platform which ensures more comfortable work and keeps strain off the driver’s back. Therefore, the user can work relaxed and concentrated over a longer period of time and accidents are prevented. Moreover, the EXV-SF is fitted with the unique STILL combi-tiller to increase the safety distance in pedestrian operation. The tiller can be folded out and, through the larger safety distance, the feet are distinctively more protected. Warehouse safety is also improved by the coloured and patented load capacity indicator. This is reasonable regarding the highest residual values in the market. With the load capacity indicator the operator has full control of storage height and the respective residual capacity at all times. The height-adjustable side guards are unique in the market and contribute to personal safety, even in case of different body heights. Safety is also offered by the innovative display and control unit. In a language-neutral manner it indicates whether the side guards need to be folded up at given lift heights or whether the initial lift needs to be lowered for safety reasons. Different languages can be set to retrieve additional information. The EXV-SF is fitted with the Blue-Q energy saving mode that in addition reduces the energy consumption up to 7 % to account for environmental concerns.

Market relevance

The truck is designed as an overall concept to maximize handling capacity and to ensure a high level of safety for employees at the same time: high efficiency.
A pneumatically damped stand-on platform and the side guards guarantee safe work. The focus of development was the individual adjustability of the damping of the stand-on platform and of the side guards so that small and tall as well as light and heavy persons are well protected alike. The combi-tiller, which ensures protection of the feet even in pedestrian operation, and the load capacity indicator, which ensures that the truck is always operated within its operational limits, are more safety features that only STILL has on offer.
With 10km/h driving speed, the EXV-SF is the fastest truck in the market. This is ascribed to the low maintenance rotary current drive and steering motors. To assess the efficiency of the machine and to increase its turnover performance, the truck possesses an automatic speed reduction in curves as well as adjustable maximum driving speeds to the lift height, to protect the user. The truck has the highest residual capacity which moreover leads to an increase in the storage density. As all machines with initial lift can move 2.0 t in horizontal transport, the performance is additionally improved. The EXV-SF can therefore be viewed as a synonym for high warehouse performance in combination with the ideal protection of employees.

Customer benefits

With the new EXV-SF the user achieves a turnover performance that is approximately 25 % higher than before. Nevertheless, he can work more relaxed and especially safer than with comparable trucks. The high turnover performance is easily reached by the EXV-SF as the machine can be operated intuitively, precisely and safely. Simultaneously it impresses with a high level of performance and high flexibility of application. It takes the economic principle and the safety of employees into account. The safety equipment protects the operator, but the protective functions do not affect the driver. In the best case the user does not even recognize that he is being protected. Only hereby the safety of employees and high turnover performances can be combined. Because of the unique ergonomic design, which keeps strain off the operator’s back, the user can work distinctively more relaxed. So the concentration can be maintained for a longer period of time. Thus expensive accidents are avoided. The most important thing though are not the costs, but the employees themselves. The sickness absence rate is reduced and the customer is on the safe side even with staff that is getting older due to the demographic change. The EXV-SF combines turnover performance and safety for the user. Every time the user deploys the EXV-SF he is provided with efficiency as the machine adapts to the user or to the application respectively and not the other way round. Only then you can speak about true efficiency.
