Human Sensible


Intuitive operation with man-machine feeling

Materialized the manipulative feeling delicately reflecting the operator's mind.

QuaPro-R design concept: Integration of human and machine.

The inching ability of the QuaPro-R during travel and load handling has been thoroughly revised to realize spontaneous operation in response to the operator's intentions. Moreover, operator-oriented vehicle manufacturing has been conducted for easy getting on and off by lowering the floor while maintaining good mast visibility. The integrated human-machine operation feel enhances load handling efficiency, and leads to overall productivity improvement.

In addition, AWC (small turn radius control) is equipped to realize its key concept of a minimum turning diameter (minimum right-angle stacking aisle width). Selection to minimize 90-degree turning (stacking mode) during load handling can be performed freely.

The QuaPro-R pursues a comfortable operation feel that goes one step further.
