Driving forward

The FLTA’s awards committee was impressed by the Sensitive Drive System (SDS) on the EDiA EX range. The software allows the truck to sense – from the very first touch – exactly how a driver wishes to operate and then automatically adjusts the machine’s reactions and performance in tune with the operator’s input to suit the needs of the person and the application. 

The EDiA EX can be steered using just the front (drive) wheels, ensuring a high degree of control on slippery surfaces. Control is further enhanced by the Intelligent Cornering System (ICS) which anticipates all characteristics ahead of and throughout the turn for smooth, safe and swift cornering. 

On hearing that the EDIA had been selected as Finalist in the Innovation category for the Fork Lift Truck Association Annual Awards for Excellence, Mike Jones of the manufacturer’s UK distribution partner said: "We are proud to see EDiA EX has made it through to the Pick of the Year.  Its instinctive driveability, together with its impressive lifting capacity, compact size, incredibly agile steering and IP54 waterproof rating makes it a real game-changer. ”
