In eonalderlnc aatarlal handling, It la wall to think of tta ooat ^ to Industry which Indeed has a bearing on th* future ef battery powered Industrial trucks a* wall aa othar equipment. For ao>a tine. It has been recognised that at least 22$ of the ooat of all aanufactured products is In aatarlal handling.

In storage, and distribution 100$ of the labor coat la la aatarlal handling. It Is astlaatad that there ar* 100 too* handled for orrery ton shipped throughout aanufacturlag aad nooaaaufacturlng Industries. Certainly, aatarlal handling adds to tba coat but never to the value of a product. Ooat reduction through labor saving devices la an ever laereeSl^ cooperation of Management because of higher labor coats and lower productivity, there la no aora fertile field far saving* than In Material handling because it plays such aa Important part In the overall Industrial picture aa illustrated by the few facta I have Just redtad. Major categories of aatarlal handling equipment aa we think of tba la our Industry oonalete of cranes, conveyors, overhead aonortil ajit -- and Industrial trucks.

Palnsr -3- Bsttery Ftawered Industrial Truck - Advantage* And Outlook Hr assljpiaent today 1* of course on the subject of industrial trucks particularly battery power lnduatrlal trucks. So, let's devote n m thought to industrial trucks. Uhat they are and what they are intended to do. Most everybody knows what a fork truck la. Arcbably acre people are fanillar with gas trucks because of their slwllirlty to antoabbilss but the great nejority also knew there are battery electric fork trucks. Both are used for transporting and stacking aaterial generally la salt Of those not connected with the aaterial handling Industry or application of ita products, nerydo not know that thare are narrow alsla trucks quite different In principle froa punventicnal counterbalanced fork truck* and drirer lead trucks ni VaUday". Both of thee* types are Beds in nary aodels both low lift and high lift and they open new field* of application for which the gas truck slaply Is not suitable. These trucks are cade only with battery electric drive. There arista a very definite trend toward these new ooocepta and application* and because of their nature they favor the electric truck alaoet to the eacrlv.slon of the gas. In total units when all types are Included, there are already alaort four electrics out of ten trucks purchased and these new broad fields of application are only Just beginning to be recognised. Electric trucks are Bade in so wary different types for so Bsny different application* that It is difficult to describe then In a word picture. I have, therefore, brought a few slides which Illustrate tbs various types I have attested to describe. This will also give you an Idea of bo s s of tbs newer applications which battery electric truck aanufecturera are being upon to meet. Slides 1. Counterbalanced fork trucks. Made In gas and electric. Host gas true)* are sUHlcnffi aodel* but electrloe are aada In both stand drive and sit-down types. 2. The narrow ailla truck Is Bad* In two bade aodel*. Tbs first, shown here, Is a straddle type aschin*. This truck vorhi In such narrower dele* than counterbalanced trucks and Is Bad* only with battery dactrls power. 3. This lo a narrow aisle truck of a slightly different type. This on* Is called a Reach Truck which Is s oonbiration of straddle and counterbalanced type*. It, too, is Bed* only In electric. Both of these model* can be furnished with very high lift a* needed to Beet trends In warehouse oonstruetlsk and they are available with nary lroovatlona such as, ml l control dare the operator ride* up with the load* W| ^ IIJHJIIUIWWBBS?p; jtMMBMMjdUa i pl^Mp LU157A9 ifei^BSiHtgiii^iiMiaaaaiiMtttiflgiir.lmiitTii'tii^')ii<^ -1 B.

It la alao available for load* on akld platform* such as, skids of paper. It la for her!rental transportation only and you will not* that tbs operator walks hut all traction sad lifting Is . acooBpllahed by battery alactrle power. 5. This is also a wallda type truck but aa you can ase la for * lifting and stacking in addition to borlaontal transportation of loads. All aovaBesta are battery elactrie powered and fully controlled fra* the control handle. types are fumiabed only with battery alactrle power, 6. This la a relatively new coooept - the Ck-dsr Ticker. This truck la designed specifically for withdrswlrg aeterlal which has been put away in unit loads but ia to be withdrawn ltsa by itso. It all ert rates the forcer practice of up an ladders, riding the forks of a conventional fork truck Wmt * t operators are repaired or worst of ell the neceeelty of order picking only as high aa a can can reach frtsa the floor. This is a special truck for handling bar stock. Rote, however, that it la the basic wallda design, Equljxaent of this kind lands Itself only to battery electric-truck rfe**gp. 8. finally, this la a picture of a very apodal truck. It la a 19,000)7 capacity die haailing truck. It la the sane basis wallda design with specially built, very heavy carrying trmm and lifting aechanlaa. That ia the picture of industrial trucks, what they are and particularly a few exacp.ee of the oodela available in electric truck deaign. Dow what are the advantages of elactrie trucks. There are aaqr and here are a faw of the outatanrili^ onos. X. There ere no fume* free a battery electric truck. This mans no health hazard, no odors, no hasard of food orvrt miration in refrigerated storage. 2. Battery electric trucks are quiet. This the dis traction and annoyance that gas trucks produce pertloularly inside. It aakea it possible to use a oentral dispatch aystw for truck operators, radios or auto eall. 3. Electric trucks are elean. There 1s no Bob, no n dripping and no adiaust to kick up duet frea tha floor. Electric trucks last longer, life e*pe**"sy is at Treat double that of a gas truck. i ns* w !PW ^ ^ pppeBpMinii.aiei ennji. ij biu s UJp!  .. ]m i>liwi^. .i-- m in li iWMriil > .Q ltiH l ^ '- 1. M.

After flee /ears, there is nothing left of the gas truck but batter/ and chargor for the electric has additional /ears of useful life loft. 8. Electric tracks are More Beaacrerable. This was discussed earlier sad illustrated tj ths sarrw slsla Models abcwA on cur elides all of which operate in ich lees epees than would be possible with a gas truck. 9. fssitllltf of electrics is such greeter. There are Men/ mo t s applications possible with electric trucks. In addition, nsw uses are developing oocertently. 10. Electric truck* are safer. There ia Much leas fire hasard tbs greatest of which with a gas truck 1s durlr^ fuslix^ operaticBS and of cwne there is no gasoline or propane storage required. Electric trucks are arallahle with spark snclnead construction for use in hasardoua areas. Us new ocas to tbs outlook for electric trucks. Uhst do ws sea slrrwil Based m known factors, tbs future looks particular!/ bright. Us hoes already described the trend of electrle coopered with gas. Pew applications and new uses are developing at an accelerated pane. In ear epinion Mich faster than for gasoline trucks. There is rack greeter Intereet in labor saving devices throughout Industry. This will benefit both gas and electric tracks. In addition, tbs electric truck can neet More nsw dwwnds.
