Foreword

Your truck
Technical description
This series of electric pallet trucks is used for
handling pallets and has a maximum load ca-
pacity of up to 1200 and 1500 kg , depengding
on the model.
The truck range includes the following models:
ECH12C, ECH15C.
Design
The latest ergonomic and practical design,
adaptable to all operators and working condi-
tions.
The polyurethane cowling provides superior
stability and shock resistance.
The chassis is made of thick steel plate and is
suitable for the harshest working conditions.
Steering system
Extremely smooth steering makes the vehicle
easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces.
A gas spring enables the tiller to quickly return
to the vertical position after it is released.
Tiller
The composite construction tiller head pro-
vides excellent impact resistance.
Ergonomic, suitable for left and right-handed
operators. The push-buttons for the horn, lift-
ing and lowering can be operated using one
hand without changing grip.
The anti-crush button integrated into the tiller
head protects the operator if the vehicle re-
coils.
Driving
Precise, load-independent travel.
Jolt-free starting and smooth acceleration to
maximum speed.
Simply release or turn the drive direction
switch to brake.

Booster circuit prevents the truck rolling back
when starting on a gradient.
Brake system
The electromagnetic brake with dust protec-
tion function can be used as a safety brake
and parking brake. Braking is controlled by the
drive controller: the brake's electromagnet
acts on the motor shaft and simultaneously
cuts off the power. Automatic braking is acti-
vated when the tiller is in the horizontal or ver-
tical position (end stop brake).
Battery
24 V/20 Ah maintenance-free lithium battery.
The power indicator light displays battery pow-
er.

Conformity marking
The manufacturer uses the conformity mark-
ing to document the conformity of the industri-
al truck with the relevant directives at the time
of placing on the market:
●
CE: in the European Union (EU)
●
UKCA: in the United Kingdom (UK)
●
EAC: in the Eurasian Economic Union
The conformity marking is applied to the
nameplate. A declaration of conformity is is-
sued for the EU and UK markets.
An unauthorised structural change or addition
to the industrial truck can compromise safety,
thus invalidating the declaration of conformity.
