MWQ Series - 2nd level order picker

Download Product PDF (365 kb)  Technical Specification

The new low level order picker by Komatsu Division offers improved specifications and allows capable of an excellent performance on picking operations. The pleasing ergonomic design together with important technical innovations, deliver to the user high levels of productivity.

This range has been enlarged by the addition of a fork levelling facility (MWQ10-3R). MWQ-3R series is an ideal tool for all warehouses requiring efficient and speedy picking operations.

Frame
The new concept frame has been designed using Finished Element Method calculus (FEM). The MWQ-3R chassis is based on 3 contact points and two stabilizer wheels. The traction wheel is in a central position with two pivoting side wheels. This new features allows better ground contact on bends and during braking, a better capability in overcoming entry slopes or ground unevenness and obviously faster travelling speed within the current standards. All covers are made with high density polyethylene (HDPE), a resilient material capable of withstanding severe shocks. The same material has been used for the battery cover and for the seating surround, where a number of document and item carrying compartments have been obtained into the moulding.

The truck can be equipped with 24V batteries up to 480Ah. Batteries may be assembled from DIN EN 60254-2 standard elements. The MWQ-3R has a capacity of 2000kg. while the capacity for the fork levelling version is of  1000kg.

Driving position
A newly designed driving position includes the instrumentation panel, the steering handle bar and the battery housing.The footboard has a non slip rubber mat. Floor height is small and the load lifting action does not raise the truck chassis.
Both truck versions have a variant with a lifting platform up to 900 mm.

Traction unit
Made by a three phase motor with a rated power of 3kW and speed reducing gearbox. The three phase technology has delivered the following advantages: n low rolling noise; n energy recovery with consequent reduction of energy consumption; n no motor maintenance.
The traction motor is bolted solid on the traction reducing box and remains static during steering movements.

Lifting group
Lifting motor with rated power to 1.2 kW for fixed platform models and 2.2 kW for lifting platform versions.

Steeering
The MWQ-3R series has electric steering as a standard equipment coupled with a new Easy Drive handle bar where all control are at fingers’ reach. The steering motor is a shunt wound type with 0.6W rated power.

Stability system
The Komatsu Division  patented stabilizer pivot wheels ensure an excellent stability whether the truck is empty or laden.
This system that we call “second generation IntelliDrive” is based on the combined effort of helical springs and compressed air giving the required thrust on the floor.

Braking
The MWQ-3R series is fitted with three braking systems:

• a parking and emergency brake based on a solenoid activated disk, inserted at the end of normal slow down or by the emergency pushbutton;
• an electric brake activated by inverting the direction of traction with the accelerator butterfly;
• a service brake, composite innovative system called eABS and patented by Komatsu Division, combines the motor braking action and magnetic brake action. This system ensures an effective braking action without skidding.
