Lower life cycle costs The acquisition costs of investment goods typically make out only a fraction of the total life cycle costs. Therefore, not only the initial purchase price but also the later operating costs, useful life and resale value play an important role in investment decisions. Balance sheet policies must also be considered when developing investment projects. Given this, one of our basic objectives is to minimize the life cycle costs of our vehicles and to offer our customers not only vehicle purchasing but also tailor-made leasing models.

Lower operating costs thanks to low-maintenance and service-friendly design The VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 features a low-maintenance design. For example it is equipped with an extremely durable and practically maintenance-free three-phase asynchronous motor as a standard feature. Furthermore, VOLK is the first European supplier in this vehicle class to employ modern sensorless technology serially. Thus the use of ball bearing sensors susceptible to wear is no longer necessary. All drive systems and components are arranged in a servicefriendly manner so that maintenance work can be...

Drive components arranged in a service- Low access height Cushioned saddle friendly manner Improved ergonomics Scientific findings prove that optimum working conditions promote employee productivity, stamina and satisfaction, thus leading to a gain in efficiency. Therefore, designing our products as economically as possible is one of our central objectives. This was consistently implemented also in the development of the VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3.

Excellent working comfort thanks to spacious and ergonomic design as well as clearly arranged control elements The VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 provides a spacious...

Various loading area and side panel options Higher utilization During hard daily use two things have always paid off in industrial trucks: a high range in order to minimize downtimes due to battery changing or battery charging processes and a high capacity in order to manage transport tasks efficiently. Today it is more important than ever, particularly with long-term investments, that investment goods can be configured as needed and used flexibly. Therefore, the fulfillment of these requirements is one of our most important objectives. The VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 illustrates this...

Greater range The VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 is serially equipped with batteries with a capacity of up to 24 V/170 Ah. In conjunction with the standard retarder back wheel brake that feeds energy into the batteries during each brake application, this results in an outstanding range. And this minimizes downtimes due to battery changing or battery charging. In addition, an optional on-board charger enables battery charging at any power outlet thus guaranteeing maximum flexibility. Piggyback trailer system Outstanding performance characteristics and flexible applications Due to its very...

Higher operating safety In modern production environments with their precisely synchronized processes, accidents can lead to severe disturbances of operating procedures and even result in bodily injuries if the worst comes to the worst. Therefore, maximum operating safety was one of our priority development goals in the conceptual design of the Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3.

Higher braking power thanks to the powerful and easy-to-control back and front wheel brake To achieve very high braking power, the service brake of VOLK Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 functions via two independent brake systems. VOLK is the first manufacturer to equip its Electric Platform Truck EFW 0.3 serially with a wear-free retarder back wheel brake. It enables extremely sensitive control of the braking force by means of a foot pedal and guarantees a high degree of energy efficiency at the same time. The front wheel is decelerated by a drum brake which is activated by a brake lever on the...
