Greater mobility and ergonomics: the new "impulse" drive module for the lift2move handling and transport system not only serves as a travel drive, but also as a starting aid and support when climbing.

Expresso will be presenting the new drive module to trade visitors for the first time at the upcoming LogiMAT. At the trade fair stand in Hall 7 (Stand C71), logistics specialists from all sectors will be able to experience live how the new drive module is integrated into the lift2move chassis and how easy it is to operate. At its heart is a powerful 250-watt electric motor, which the user first activates using a safety button. After this activation, the user can then use a small thumb controller on the handlebar grip to continuously adjust the power to the level required. This allows him to adjust the speed to his walking speed, the transported goods or the condition of the floor. In addition, a direction switch makes it easy to switch between forward and reverse travel. From an ergonomic point of view, the support that the new electric drive offers when starting off and when climbing - for example when driving up ramps - is particularly important: When pushing off, the lift2move's breakaway torque is reduced to almost zero and when climbing inclines, the travel drive provides full support - both of which mean enormous relief for the user's spine and muscles. Especially when transporting massive workpieces, bulging storage boxes or heavy sheet metal coils over long distances, the assisted effect of the new travel drive proves to be a contribution to greater ergonomics, safety and efficiency in intralogistics.

Ex works or for retrofitting

Intuitive and simple: after activation via a safety button in the left handle, the operator of the lift2move can control the new electric drive continuously via a small thumb throttle on the right handle.

The new drive unit has already been integrated into the company's product range, meaning that all lift2move models with swivel castor chassis can now be equipped with it ex works. Lifts that are already in operation can be motorized with the retrofit kit in just a few minutes. The drive module is mounted directly under the lift mast of the lift and is spring-mounted so that it guarantees safe and stable movement of the loaded lift2move even on uneven floors and in bends. The electric drive is powered by the conventional Powerpack or the lightweight lithium-ion Flyweight Powerpack L.ION of the industrial truck (service life up to 24 hours). The additional interface on the impulse control box can also be used to operate other electric front-mounted devices, such as manipulators for turning, tilting, turning, gripping and many other actions.
