Cesab Material Handling Europe

IMD (Intelligent Mast Design) is a pioneering concept designed and engineered exclusively within the CESAB Group.

We believe that the mast is key to safe and productive materials handling. We use 3-D computer modelling, Finite Element Model analysis with a computerised simulation to find the best design solution for our masts.

Thanks to IMD, CESAB provides you with the industry leading levels of visibility and performance.

Among other advantages of the Intelligent Mast Design:

• High strength and rigidity
• Low maintenance
• Low energy usage
• Superior forward visibility
• Smooth operation
• More durability
• Productivity

By applying the IMD concept to the design of each individual truck, CESAB has created a range of forklifts that provide you outstanding performance.

How can CESAB’s Intelligent Stability Design (ISD) improve safety and productivity in your operation?

By increasing the stability of our trucks, we can reduce the risk of accidents.

That’s why our CESAB M300 counterbalanced forklift trucks are equipped as standard with ISD, Cesab’s Intelligent Stability Design.

This feature actively monitors key parameters of the truck’s performance and brings downtime to a minimum and productivity to a maximum!

ISD actively contributes to workplace safety with a system that consists of 10 sensors, 3 actuators and 1 controller. This system allows ISD to monitor material handling operations and take corrective action when necessary to guarantee the stability of the truck as well as the load being handled.

Hydraulic rear axle lock

ISD reduces risks during cornering without compromising productivity. If the truck becomes unstable during a turn, the patented swing lock cylinder automatically locks the rear axle to increase the truck’s stability. This reduces the risk of a sideways tip-over. Faster than the most experienced driver, ISD provides excellent stability and helps to protect operators and the load
 

Automatic front tilt control

ISD prevents both the load and truck from tipping dangerously forward. Mast front tilt angle control monitors load height and mast position. If necessary, it automatically limits the mast angle to protect the driver and load. This reduces the risk of injury and property damage.

Automatic back tilt speed control

When loads are tilted backwards too quickly, they can put the driver, goods and the truck at risk. Mast rear tilt speed control senses possible risk factors and reduces the mast speed accordingly. The load moves surely and steadily into the right position and work carries on.

Zero-tilt control

Adjusting the forks to a level horizontal position takes a little extra time. With ISD fork levelling control*, the forks are levelled at the push of a button, making work easier for the driver, particularly when loads are at height. This saves time, increases productivity and saves you money. (* = only available in combination with fingertip or joystick hydraulic controls).

Active steering wheel alignment

Eliminating hydraulic steering slippage helps operators work safely and more efficiently. The ISD active steering synchroniser does this by automatically aligning the steering wheel with the rear wheels. Your drivers work ergonomically and always know which direction the truck will move for safe, productive operations.

From higher productivity to improved safety, here are just some of the ways you can transform your material handling operation with Cesab Li-Ion batteries:

• Li-ion batteries have more than three times the lifecycle of classic lead-acid batteries. This means you need just one battery for the entire life of a forklift truck.
• Li-ion batteries are up to 30% more energy efficient than lead acid batteries. With more stable voltage, Li-Ion batteries deliver maximum power during the complete discharge cycle and offer higher energy throughput compared to lead acid batteries.

• Li-ion batteries can be charged during shift breaks. This opportunity charging can power a truck through several shifts.
• Li-ion batteries are entirely closed, with no water topping or any other maintenance required.
• There is no gassing during Li-Ion battery charging, which means it can be charged anywhere. Its optional built-in charger is suitable for use with any wall-outlet.
• Depending on the application, no battery change or charging rooms are required. This further reduces cost and improves safety.
• Cesab is part of a group that has sold this proven technology since 2014, with over 3,500 Li-ion trucks in service today.

CESAB extends its energy solutions offering with low maintenance lead-acid batteries. These are factory fitted, so that your CESAB electric counterbalanced truck is ready to roll from day one.

Following the launch of CESAB’s in-house Li-ion solution, we have extended our energy offering with high quality, lead-acid batteries from carefully selected battery manufacturers.

This single source energy solution means a perfectly tuned and 100% operational forklift truck, direct from CESAB’s production line.

CESAB’s factory fitted batteries provide:

• Single source, more economic energy
• An extended 36-month full warranty
• An electrolyte level sensor for constant status information
• An autofill system for easier maintenance
• Low maintenance cells for less water consumption
• A sturdy, streamlined container for better durability

CESAB’s single source energy solutions are available on the following 24V, 48V and 80V electric counterbalanced forklifts:

• CESAB B200 – 24V 1.0T – 1.5T capacity
• CESAB B300 – 48V 1.5T – 2.0T capacity
• CESAB B400 – 48V 1.5T – 2.0T capacity
• CESAB B600 – 80V 2.0T – 5.0T capacity
