Driveline Technology for Heavy Material Handling Vehicles

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Material handling vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) are versatile machines used in outdoor applications to transport heavy loads over long distances and maneuver them in tight spaces. ZF provides driveline technology that meets these demands, particularly focusing on transmissions that handle high torque and allow smooth gear shifts without interrupting tractive effort.

ZF Transmissions
ZF-ERGOPOWER transmissions are designed for compact installation, offering high flexibility and a developed electro-hydraulic control for fully automatic soft shifting. These transmissions are beneficial for both manufacturers and end users due to their low operating costs and ease of maintenance.

Efficiency and Precision
The ZF EFFICIENCY PACKAGE includes 5- or 6-speed transmissions to improve fuel consumption, tractive effort, speed, and productivity. Direct Drive is used to enhance efficiency, with the lock-up clutch opening only when necessary to prevent operator abuse.

Product Features
ZF-ERGOPOWER transmissions are applicable for engine power up to 330 kW, offering fully automatic shifting with no interruption of tractive effort. They are designed for versatile applications in material handling equipment, ensuring soft shift transitions and user-friendly electronic assistance.

Electronic Inching
The electronic inching feature allows precise load positioning by reducing speed during operation without the need to declutch or shift gear. This is achieved through the electro-hydraulic ZF-ERGO CONTROL, which uses a load sensor and control unit compatible with CANbus for easy maintenance and service.

Product Range
ZF offers a range of transmissions for various material handling equipment, including lift-trucks, terminal tractors, and reach stackers. The ERGOPOWER series includes models like WG 94, WG 115, WG 131, WG 161, WG 171, WG 191, WG 211, WG 261, and WG 311, each designed for specific vehicle weights and lifting capacities.

Conclusion
ZF driveline technology simplifies the handling of heavy loads with features like stiff rotating shafts, durable clutch packs, and electronic systems with self-diagnosis. The transmissions are designed for easy maintenance and repair, offering significant advantages in modern material handling applications.
