The DuraMatch™ 3 transmission, equipped with Automatic Deceleration System (ADS), offers superior control over loaded forklift speed and enhances brake system durability. When the operator releases the accelerator pedal, ADS proactively decelerates the forklift, ensuring smoother stops and significantly reducing brake wear. This feature is particularly beneficial when forklifts operate near loading and unloading areas, assisting drivers in positioning the forks accurately and safely.
The ADS system allows technicians to customize 10 different deceleration speed settings via the control panel. Users can select the deceleration level that best suits specific applications and working conditions, ranging from gradual to rapid deceleration. This provides high flexibility, meeting diverse operational needs for loaded forklifts.
Furthermore, DuraMatch™ 3 integrates Controlled Power Reversal technology and Pacesetter VSM™ (Vehicle System Management). VSM manages power delivery during directional changes, ensuring smooth transitions and minimizing stress on tires. When the driver reduces acceleration, VSM activates engine deceleration, continuing the automatic reduction of loaded forklift speed, then automatically reverses the driveline and increases throttle to resume acceleration.
Through the seamless coordination of ADS and VSM, the DuraMatch™ 3 system virtually eliminates tire spin and driveline shocks. This not only significantly improves tire life but also delivers a smoother operating experience, reduces noise, and enhances operator comfort. With DuraMatch™ 3, controlling loaded forklift speed becomes easier and more efficient than ever, contributing to increased productivity and safety in the workplace.
