SMV has always been synonymous with innovation having introduced technology that others follow. Cabs with full forward vision and load sensing hydraulic technologies are examples of the lead that SMV has adopted.

The latest range of ‘B’ generation equipment encompasses these same innovations but also introduces new technology geared around safety, performance and life cycle cost. Our research clearly demonstrates that a customer can save money using this technology.

4By widening the rear end and re-styling the ballast and engine hood, rearward visibility is greatly enhanced that will conform to future EU norms.

4New Volvo TAD620VE and TAD722VE-HT engines developing 155kw and 180kw respectively. All engines satisfy new Euro 3 emission requirements effective January 2006.

4All SMV forklifts maintain their designated rating regardless of side-shift/fork positioning and hold their full capacity to either 7000mm or 10000mm lift height.

4New Dana TE17310 3 speed automatic transmission with ‘soft-shift.

4New pumps delivering in excess of 14% extra pressure

4Introduction of Canbus technology (where practical)reduces number of wires and error sources.

4Monitoring as standard! Engine temperature, RPM and pressure. Transmission temperature are all monitored and protected in event of malfunction. Additionally low fuel levels and next services are communicated by same alarm feature.

4New cab to include new switches, automotive feel and rear window now 42% larger to take advantage of improved rearward visibility.

4Maintenance free technology throughout to reduce Life Cycle costs

4Graphite, grease-free bushings, slide pads instead of rollers, grease free prop-shafts increases service intervals.

Don’t forget - All SMV B forklifts still incorporate load sensing variable displacement hydraulics – eliminates permanent load on engine and reduces fuel consumption

Note: Combined effect of reduced maintenance and lower fuel consumption can offer savings of up to £2.10 per working hour – Assuming a 40 hour working week equates to £4368.00 saving per year or £21840.00 over a 5 year cycle. These figures however reflect the unlikely event of fuel and labour costs not rising over the term!

The machine that saves you money – you can’t afford not to own one!
