Cushion trucks: Toyota Industrial Equipment has added to its
heavy-duty lineup with a complete line of large internal combustion
cushion trucks with capacities ranging from 18,000 to 100,000
pounds. The expansion also includes electric cushion trucks with
capacities ranging from 15,000 to 40,000 pounds.
The internal combustion models come standard with
a three-speed power-shift transmission with modular electronic controls. This feature is designed for
smooth shifting and results in improved operator productivity and comfort, the company says.
The electric models feature 72- or 80-volt AC drive systems for long run times and smooth
operation.
All cushion models, both internal combustion and electric, come standard with the following features: load-sensing hydraulic systems equipped for heavy loads, planetary drive axles
to extend service life and improve performance, two-stage mast and carriage with integral
side-shift rollers for improved forward visibility, easy-access diagnostics and service points for
routine maintenance, onboard electronic diagnostics with fault code history, and hydraulic
multigauge for pressure checks. (Toyota Industrial Equipment, www.toyotaforklift.com)
Picking cart: J-tec Industries Inc. has released its
CarryMore Gen2 All-in-One (AIO) Kit Cart for vertical
picking and transporting materials for assembly and
distribution. The company stocks the frame and most
attachments, and can build to order and ship the cart
within five weeks.
The Gen2 AIO Kit Cart is designed to hold parts for kitting or completed kits that are being transported to and
from production, assembly, and distribution production
lines. It is customizable, and the design allows it to be
lifted securely for picking on stockpickers or fork trucks.
In addition, J-tec’s own CarryMore Picker Attachment
can be used for maximum security when engaging with,
lifting, and picking with this cart using those vehicles.
The Gen2 AIO Kit Cart holds up to 2,500 pounds of cargo. The new design allows shelves,
drawers, flippers, spindles, and other components to be adjusted in two-inch increments from
the rear panel of the cart (as compared with three-inch increments in Gen1 models) and also
allows for more modularity for customer choices for outer wall protection options. While
Gen1 walls were welded expanded steel coverings, the new Gen2 can also be fitted with a
variety of modular outer coverings ranging from mesh panels to wire frames, HDPE panels,
and more. All of this can be customized during the build for the end user’s needs.
The Gen2 AIO Kit Cart’s optional fixed and air-assisted lift shelves are engineered to hold
up to 500 pounds of weight per shelf, and its pullout drawers can hold 250 pounds of cen-ter-loaded weight. (J-tec Industries Inc., www.jtecindustries.com)
Weather-alert solution: PeopleNet, a provider of fleet mobility technology, has introduced
“myRoads,” a weather alerting solution that provides drivers with information on current and
forecast road and weather conditions along their route. With myRoads, fleets can access data
related to current temperature, precipitation, and wind speed to determine if a vehicle is in or
near inclement weather that could affect driver safety and delivery time.
The myRoads solution will be available on Android-based tablets as part of the
ConnectedFleet platform—which connects drivers, devices, and equipment—to display real-time road conditions and information on current and forecast weather conditions. When the
truck is not in motion, drivers can view animated maps that show road conditions as well
as long-term weather forecasts. When a driver is behind the wheel, the myRoads
text-to-speech functionality allows him or her to play detailed weather warnings related
to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, torrential rains, and heavy winds. (PeopleNet, www.
