Enhanced Productivity
With a tight turning circle (ideal for small spaces), smooth and responsive acceleration, and a conveniently placed direction switch on the hydraulic control lever for switching direction of travel quickly and easily, the all-round performance of the B15R-7 Series promises a boost to productivity inside or outside the warehouse. What’s more, when equipped with the optional side ‘roll-in & roll-out’ battery facility, batteries can be simply and effortlessly changed for multiple shift operations.
- Excellent visibility: The precise designed overhead guard profile with angled roof bars provides a clear view upwards whilst ensuring ultimate strength for safety.
- ‘Advanced Acceleration’: Reduce initial acceleration for safe & comfortable movement. Increase acceleration in mid & high-speed for more productive operation. Smooth and stable plugging
- Direction switch on hydraulic control lever
- Easy Side Roll in & Out Battery (Option): Easy to service without efforts. Toll free side panel, easy removal of floor plate and control valve cover.
Exceeding the Highest Demands for Safe Operation
Safety is foremost in the design of the new 7-series. Prominent features include:
- Anti Roll Back: The controller prevents the forklift from rolling back for 5 seconds when the truck is stopped on a slope.
- Automatic Speed Control: It automatically reduces the travel speed to the optimal speed when cornering, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.
- OSS (Operator Sensing System): Whenever the operator leaves the seat, the truck travel and mast lifting functions will stop. This system avoids any unintended forklift movements when the operator is not seated.
- Mast Lowering inter-lock & Tilt lock: The hydraulic locking system prevents natural lowering and tilting. It safeguards the work array, the truck and the load, even if the operator leaves the truck unattended.
- Tortoise Mode: Operators can select pre defined travel speed settings, without impacting the lift speed. This mode ensures safe manoeuvrability in delicate operating situations.
- Productive acceleration and plugging: Reduce initial acceleration for safe and comfortable movement. Increase acceleration in mid & high speed for more productive operation. Smooth and stable plugging.
Durability
The 7 Series provide smooth and reliable performance across various work applications.
With the reliable AC controller and the optimised design, Bobcat’s new machine is designed to operate efficiently.
- Reliable AC controller: Curtis AC controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance and functionality. The IP 65 rated controller is very reliable and well proven in tough applications.
- Rugged and Durable Rear Drive Axle: The rear drive axle is controlled by an integrated drive controller which effectively transfers the power and torque of the drive motor to the final drive for smooth and quite operation. The axle is maintenance free.
- AC drive & hydraulic motors: Maintenance free electric motors by eliminating motor brushes and commutators.
- ODB (Oil cooled Disk Brake): Virtually maintenance-free, ODB come as standard on the B16R-7. The enclosed brake system eliminates outside contamination, significantly extending the brake life up to 5 times longer when compared to conventional shoe brakes.
