Less delay from sway

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has addressed the issue of 'sway delay' with a development which is reported to raise picking productivity by 5.8% in typical high level order picking applications.

The 'active sway control' system automatically works out and delivers the correct adjustment necessary to counteract the mast's sway - so reducing the length of time an operator must wait between picks for the swaying to stop.

This software-driven feature cuts sway delay by 7.5sec per pick, on average, when operating at heights between 5100 and 10000mm - saving up to 20min over a typical shift.

As well as boosting output, the system gives an enhanced sense of control over acceleration and braking.

The first trucks to benefit from this development will be the OPBH10N series of high level order pickers.
