Godrej Material Handling launches new Bravo Electric Three-Wheel Forklift
Godrej Material Handling, a business unit of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd., has announced its foray into the 3-wheel electric forklift truck segment. The country’s largest manufacturer of lift trucks, GMH has launched the latest three-wheel electric variant of its Bravo Forklift Truck for the 1.6 to 2 ton category, and is targeting the Indian electric forklift market at 20% before end of FY20-21.
The Bravo has been entirely produced in India with an R&D effort of over two years. It is compact in size and offers the fastest travel speed of (15 km/hr) in the category and the best-in-class turning radius (25 percent shorter than four-wheeled trucks) to deliver efficient operations. Most importantly, as a standard feature, all 3-Wheel Bravo Forklifts come with the latest wet disc brakes which provide higher braking efficiency and reduce operator fatigue. Wet disc brakes ensure a long servicing interval of 6000 hrs, making the truck more reliable and productive.
Anil Lingayat, Executive Vice President and Business Head, Godrej Material Handling, said, “We believe in keeping our customers’ businesses in constant motion. Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do and we endeavor to make our products environmental-friendly. The cutting edge 3-Wheel Bravo series developed indigenously by us is reflective of this philosophy. Packed with the latest performance enhancing and safety features, we believe this product will set new standards for innovation and safety in its category. It will contribute to greater efficiencies in warehouse operations. We expect this truck to be a great choice for all 3PL, warehouses and E-commerce companies.”
The 3-Wheel Bravo Electric forklift advanced battery technology enables longer run time. The Smart Curve Wheel Control technology detects turns and reduces speed by as much as 25%. This makes the truck stable and operator-friendly for maneuvering in tight and cramped spaces, thus providing enhanced safety. Its frame has been designed to have a lower center of gravity enabling it to lift loads up to a height of 6 meters. An interactive LCD display provides vital information to the operator like speed, temperature, movement, battery life and fault alerts.
GMH is India’s largest manufacturer of lift trucks with a range that includes electric, LPG and diesel counterbalanced forklifts up to 25 ton capacity, warehouse trucks and special trucks for specific applications, and attachments for addressing a wide range of handling applications.
