pedestrian-controlled, batteryelectric, fork-lift truck, designated the PF7. With a length (less forks) of 37in. it can stack a 36in. x
36in. pallet at a 90deg angle in a 6ft 6in. gangway, or a 24in. x 24in. pallet in a 5ft Sin, gangway. With an unladen weight of 17cwt it is suitable for use in goods lifts and upper floors.
Standard lift height is 10ft. while forks with lengths of 30m. or 24in. are available. Similar to other machines in the range detailed features include threespeed butterfly control, electrical and mechanical braking, key switch and deadman handle.
