Interlocked I-Beam Mast. The premium steel mast construction features interlocked steel channel and I-Beam design and roller-bearing surfaces for long mast life. Interlock channel and I-Beam mast accommodates high lifting stresses and maintains load stability.
Direction Reversing Impact Switch. A reversing switch, built into the control handle is designed to reverse truck direction on impact with the operator.
Versatile Braking Systems.
Two-way mechanical brake in top and bottom of handle arc actuates automotive-type disc brake in proportion to handle movement, allowing operator complete control of braking. When released, "dead man" feature returns handle to upright position, turns off electric power and applies the brake.
Dynamic brake, actuated by push-buttons in the control handle, provides gentle, jar-free electrical braking for accurate payload positioning and protection.
Easy Access Service Panel. Full-access design makes maintenance fast and easy. Hinged doors and removable panels permit quick access to electrical circuitry, drive train and hydraulic components for all normal maintenance.
Fully Protected Electrical System Fully fuse protected, heavy-duty industrial contactors are standard. All wiring is coded and has quick-disconnect terminals for easy servicing.
High Strength Construction. Unitized continuous welded steel in every Big Joe frame minimizes structural deterioration.
Dual Tilt Cylinders (PDC only). For greater safety, less twisting and distortion of mast section.
Emergency Power Disconnect. Externally mounted, quick-release battery disconnect is readily accessible to remove all power from truck circuits in the event of an emergency.
Special Alloy Forks. Heavy-duty I.T.A. forks are heat-treated alloy steel and formed to preserve full strength at the fork heel. Bottom taper of 14 inches and beveled fork tips allow easy pallet entry and exit.
I.T.A. Class II Carriage (PDC only). I.T.A. Class II Carriage makes changing from forks to attachments simple. No tools or pin removal are required. Changing outside fork dimension is equally easy.
Chrome Plated Lift Cylinder. For long life and low ram maintenance.
