INDUSTRY FIRSTS
One of many technological breakthroughs in the last two years is ProRide +, as seen on Cat NPV / NPF platform power pallets . This system solves the age-old problem of how to combine effective traction , damping and stability .
Its uniquely designed floating drive unit works with extra friction force from the hydraulic system . By maximising drive wheel pressure and traction , it prevents wheelspin on slippery surfaces and optimises braking performance .
The ProRide + system also features a unique castor wheel design . It uses variable damping to minimise shocks and vibration , however rough the floor or ground . Meanwhile , the castor wheel ’ s locking function maintains strong stability when cornering , with or without a load . 4 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
