*The fast lift is effective up to 120 kg, i.e. the hand pallet truck is in the fast lift operating mode up to this weight on the forks; it switches to normal lift for weights above 120 kg. The AM 2200 in fast lift mode thus achieves its maximum lift height with 5 pump strokes, in normal mode with 12 strokes.. For pallets over 120 kg (common practice), the fast lift becomes effective for going under the pallet. As soon as the load is lifted, the HPT switches to normal lift with 10 mm per pump stroke. |
