WHY
DO IT?
A SCR conversion on a lift track
offers both the owner and operator many advantages.
FOR THE OWNER, it enables him to "modernize" his lift truck for
thousands of dollars less than the cost of a new one. A properly
installed and maintained Control Conversion System is good for many
years of trouble-free service. Additionally, modern Electronic
Controllers are extremely rugged and reliable, and require less
service and corresponding downtime than any other type of control
in existence.
FOR THE OPERATOR, modern controls offer extremely
smooth and jerk-free starting under load and smooth step-less
acceleration, especially in the creep or low-speed ranges. This
gives the load a much better ride and reduces the chance of load
damage or shifting, especially with the mast extended.
It is a proven fact that modern
controllers offer longer battery life and longer time between
battery charges. The reduced traction motor maintenance and less
driver fatigue result in a more efficiently run controller than resistor or contactor
controllers. All the modern contol system we sell are very
conservatively rated and will operate under a wide range of
temperature extremes and heavy industrial plant conditions.
For lift truck
conversions, we sell SCR. and Transistor controls manufactured by THE GENERAL
ELECTRIC COMPANY and SEVCON. These companies are widely
respected as manufacturers of modern electronic controllers for electric lift
trucks and have many thousands of units in service throughout the
world.
HOW TO DO IT?
The process of conversion to a
SCR or Transistor control system involves three basic steps:
The removal of the existing control system and the associated
accelerator control and wiring.
The careful inspection and servicing, of the traction motor and
cables, battery, battery terminals and cables, and a general
cleaning and degreasing of the area where the new control system
is to be mounted. Contactors will be supplied if necessary.
However, the existing truck contactors can be easily rebuilt by
you and used with the new systems, saving unnecessary costs.
The installation, wiring, and testing of the new control
panel.
The first two steps in the
conversion process are very straightforward and can be easily
accomplished. Often, the third step requires careful instructions
to ensure proper installation. This is when the experienced
assistance from FS CONTROL SERVICES INC. is most valuable.
