Free of brushes and commutators, fully AC-powered lift trucks are designed to facilitate production and reliability. The reduction of wearable parts helps eliminate costs and downtime associated with motor brush cleaning, checks and replacements. Improved traction performance and variable electric on-demand steering help reduce energy consumption, and an AC brushless hoist motor powers the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system contributes to increased performance and energy savings through the use of powered and regenerative lowering. The units’ AC drive motor is designed to extend battery life to provide more runtime per battery charge. An extended shift feature enables enhanced runtime without recharging over longer periods.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
