Particular attention went into the design of the operating cabin. A deep spacious area with adjustable control console suitable for standing or seated operation.

• Fully adjustable luxury seat set deep within the mast upright sections, ensures operator safety and comfort while providing a productive work environment.
• Bright halogen overhead lighting enables the driver to work in areas with insufficient or low lighting, also available with additional OHG mounted LED light bar - as shown.
• Forward facing controls provide automotive style intuitive operation without inhibiting the operator during order picking operations.

Cabin and integrated load handling turret minimizes the operators reach distance. The cabin width mirrors the load handler allowing the operator full access to the load. The enclosed operator cab is protected for safety on the load side with macrolon shields.

• Spacious cabin, thick carpet covered walls for noise reduction, cushioned fatigue limiting floor mats, built in document and tool holders provide the basics for the operator compartment.
• Large unhindered front facing view windows are also protected with macrolon shields.

Integrating the turret assembly into the cab design reduces the reach distance required for order picking from the transported load, while increasing capacity and shortening the overall vehicle footprint. Note that all EK vehicles are designed to suit the load and working aisle size. The cab width (cross aisle dimension) mirrors the reach of the load handler - allowing the operator full range of motion in the cab, from one side of the aisle to the other - even with oversize loads.

We know that mishaps can occur and protect your investment with a robust vehicle construction that can be identified in the countless details. Serious damages are avoided by:

• Motor compartment protected by thick steel doors
• Protected load wheels
• Turret load handling device with large distance between support bearings
• Sloping Rear cover promotes better operator visibility
• Completely Enclosed Battery Compartment

These vehicles have proven their reliability in the harshest and most critical applications.

Multiple shift operation may require a battery exchange. Battery changing options include :

• Compartment rollers and exchange carts.
• Suitable frame and compartment brackets for convenient forklift handling of the battery.
• On board battery charging used with aisle mounted power rail or designated charging location.

Of course the EK series is an energy miser so changing batteries is only required on continuous multiple shift operations.

Sporting a strong rigid steel construction and solid base is not the only requirement for a turret truck. The EK series is based on a robust counter-balanced design which is supported by the use of large load wheels.

• Massive protected load wheels, height adjustable eliminates the need to replace both wheels if damaged or worn.
• On rare instances the floor may not provide sufficient support or have to many cracks and flaws. Dual load wheel option can help be increasing the size of the wheels foot print - reducing floor loading and offering a smoother ride on rough uneven surfaces.
