The new 7-Series line of 3-wheel electric lift trucks boasts ac power for both drive and lift motors. The result is 45% more power than predecessors and substantial cost savings from improved efficiency and productivity as well as reduced maintenance requirements. Transistorized drive and hydraulic controls are fully programmable from the operator's digital display keyboard. Three forms of regeneration boost battery life. Active Mast Control feature detects and responds to changes in the operating status of the truck to enhance longitudinal stability and adjust forward and back mast tilt when hauling loads of varying sizes and weights at high-lift heights. Forks automatically level with the press of a button. Capacities are 3000 and 4000 lb. Toyota Material Handling U.S.A. toyotaforklift.com Write 321 on PE card

The aFX Dockleveler includes airDefense stump out elimination system that also protects against free-fall in the event of premature trailer separation. Trailers with air-ride suspension can lower 3 to 8 in. during loading. Stump out occurs when the dock leveler ramp stops at dock level, but the lip continues to lower with the trailer, creating a potentially unsafe condition and damage to lift trucks. New leveler thus reduces maintenance and operating costs and improves dock safety. A retrofit kit is available for older FX levelers. Kelley Co. kelleycompany.com Write 322 on PE card
