 The
rigid, high walled sideloader chassis, made of welded
construction, is defined by a support member constructed of
a rectangular shaped box and two box shaped side members
each with inner supports to ensure maximum strength. The
rounded corners of the chassis increase the forklift's
maneuverability as well as its operational safety. In
addition, load protection plates are fitted to the chassis
exterior. |

The
Perkins 1006.6 six cylinder diesel engine comes complete
with a 1.5 gallon capacity water cooled block. The power
output is 85 kilowatts at 2300 r.p.m.,
fueled by an economical direct fuel injection system. This
engine has excellent cold starting characteristics, which
combined with low exhaust emissions and low noise levels to
produce a solid and reliable power plant for this diesel
forklift. |
|
|
|
To aid in
the cooling of the heavy duty industrial motor and
transmission, the Prestige comes equipped with a high
performance radiator which includes an integrated
transmission oil cooler. |
|
|
|
This unit
includes an automatic power shift transmission with torque
converter and electrical pilot control. Using a directional
lever located inside the driver's cabin, the operator can
easily select between forward and reverse directions. The
transmission for this diesel sideloader is designed to
automatically shift from first to second gear when the
Prestige reaches approximately one half of its maximum
driving speed. A safety feature requires that the engine be
placed in the neutral position prior to
starting, thereby eliminating any unintentional wear
and tear on the transmission, and an inching valve is
included to provide the operator with precise control over
the movement of this industrial diesel forklift. |
|
|
|
The
transmission output shaft is connected to the intermediate
transmission by means of multiple roller chains which are
continually lubricated in an oil bath. This configuration
then transfers the power from the output shaft to the drive
shaft and differential. |
|
|
|
 The
Premier uses a swing axle with differential. Gear reduction
is accomplished in the wheel hubs by means of a series of
planetary gears. |
|
|
|
A full
floating axle with stub axles mounted on roller bearings
comprises the steer axle system for this sideloader. This
modern design utilizes a double action central cylinder. The
maximum steering angle of 75 degrees can be achieved with
only six revolutions of the steering wheel. |
|
|
|
The
Prestige is outfitted with a four wheel hydraulically power
assisted braking system. The drum style brakes utilize brake
shoes with an extra large surface area to maximize contact
with the drum surface and insure complete braking control of
the forklift. In addition to the primary braking system, a
hydraulic spring actuated parking brake ensures stability
when the operator is required to leave the driver's cabin. |
|
|
|
 Two
hydraulic cylinders are mounted in pendulum fashion on both
of the this diesel sideloader's
load platforms to provide compensation when traveling over
uneven surfaces. In addition to being connected to the main
hydraulic pump to provide tilting of the entire load
platform for load stabilization, these two cylinders are
connected together as well, so that when the forklift is
moved over an uneven surface, the upward or downward motion
of one of the platform wheels will produce the opposite
effect in the other platform wheel, thereby stabilizing the
platform. This four wheel suspension system keeps all four
wheels on the ground at all times and provides unprecedented
stability even during high lifting. This special feature can
be found only on a Baumann side loading forklift truck. |
|
|
|
The
Prestige uses two hydraulic circuits, one for the steering
system and one for the main hydraulic functions, each with a
separate toothed-wheel drive pump. To facilitate easier
maintenance, the two circuits share a common hydraulic tank
made of rigid welded construction, with integrated baffle
plates to add to the forklift's overall stability. |
|
|
|
 Made
from Baumann designed, cold drawn geometric profiles, the
specially designed telescopic sideloader uprights are
available in standard duplex, full free lift or triple stage
designs. They are each fitted with angled upright rollers
mounted in roller bearings to absorb both axial and radial
load pressures. The profiles of the Baumann uprights are
widely spaced to provide maximum stability and a long
service lift. |
|
|
|
The
traverse movement of the upright is handled by two hydraulic
cylinders mounted to the frame wall. Upright guidance is
maintained by extremely long sliders which provide
accurately synchronized movement. The upright then moves
smoothly along the channel on easily replaceable sliding
blocks. The traverse cylinders are equipped with
end-of-travel dampers, which decrease the speed of the
upright's return movement during the last few inches of
travel to provide for a smooth return of the mast to its
fully retracted position. |
|
|
|
The FEM
class 3B fork carriage is made of high tensile strength
material with four angled rollers. These rollers have been
widely spaced to provide excellent load distribution, lower
stress on the upright and a smooth overall operation. The
forks are forged of heat treated steel and are tapered on
the outer two thirds of the total fork length to facilitate
the easy and safe pickup of all types of loads. |

Providing
excellent all around visibility, the driver's cabin of this
heavy duty diesel side loading forklift truck comes with
fully tinted safety glass windows to reduce reflections and
block ultra violet rays. The sliding driver's door provides
easy access to the operator without interfering with
operation by extending into the travel pathway. A heater is
provided for cabin climate control, with a defroster to help
keep visibility at its highest levels. The armored glass
roof is removable and serves as an emergency exit. The
operational pedals are placed like that of an automobile.
The ergonomic instrument panel aids in the easy and safe
operation of the forklift by giving the operator quick
access to all the units
operational functions and status indicators, as viewed
behind the sideloader's 14 inch diameter steering wheel.
Both the steering wheel and the column are adjustable to
suit the operator's reach. The comfortable hydraulically
cushioned seat can be adjusted according to the operator's
weight, and a panoramic rear view mirror is standard
equipment, designed to increase overall visibility. |

|
The
Prestige is wired by a 12 volt installation using a three
phase alternator and a 110 Amp. hour
battery. The alternator produces 55 Amps. The lighting
system consists of two main headlights, turn signals,
reverse lights, brake lights and a moveable spotlight
mounted on the roof of the cabin. Hour meters are also
standard equipment on this forklift powerhouse. |
