Higher operating safety Conventional tractive vehicles with a towed load ranging from 3.5 to 12 tons are typically designed as 3-wheel tow tractors. The consequence of this construction principle is that tilting safety is limited during cornering and when braking on steep roads or with a towed load. Accidents resulting from this almost always cause failures in the course of operation and can lead to personal injury if the worst comes to the worst. Therefore, one of our primary development goals in the conceptual design of the VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K was to increase operating...

Higher tilting safety and greater braking power The VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K- EFZ 12 K have a high degree of tilting safety thanks to their 4-wheel design and their low center of gravity. In addition, much higher braking forces can be transmitted at the front axle than in conventional 3-wheel tow tractors. Outstanding deceleration values result from this in combination with the hydraulic double-circuit brake system and the electric regenerative brake. On ramps the speed can be reduced and precisely controlled by means of a crawling switch. These safety features not only result in greater...

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 Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K illustrate this very clearly. Fahrzeugbau GmbH

Greater range The VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K can be optionally equipped with larger batteries with a capacity of up to 24 V / 920 Ah (alternatively: 48 V / 330 Ah). In conjunction with the standard energy recovery (regenerative brake), this achieves a range unparalleled in this vehicle class. And this minimizes downtimes due to battery changing or battery charging. Outstanding performance characteristics and flexible applications Even great distances can be covered swiftly with the VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K due their high speeds. The outstanding torque...

Loading area Drive components arranged in a service-friendly manner Easily accessible motor Lower life cycle costs Because the acquisition costs of investment goods typically make out only a fraction of the total life cycle costs, not only the 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. Therefore, one of our basic objectives is to minimize the life cycle costs of our vehicles and to offer our customers not only traditional vehicle...

Reduced investment volume thanks to reuse of existing batteries The VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K are designed so that available batteries can easily be reused in newly purchased vehicles – regardless whether 24 V batteries or 48 V forklift batteries are concerned. This can reduce the investment volume for replace- Sturdy axle with spring suspension Collision guard ment investments by up to ten percent. Because electric vehicles taken out of service frequently have relatively new batteries. They are often replaced before the end of the vehicle’s service life because the reinvestment...

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 ergonomically as possible is one of our central objectives. This was consistently implemented also in the development of the VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ 12 K. Adjustable and cushioned driver’s seat Clearly arranged control elements Reduced physical strain thanks to low access height and hydraulic steering One special feature of the VOLK Electric Tow Tractors EFZ 3.5 K – EFZ...
