While there's a lot to love about the A Series, these are the top 3 features that make this model stand out among other warehouse utility vehicles.
A brushless AC traction motor comes standard on the A Series. This powerful motor provides quick acceleration, powerful climbing, and reduced heat emission. Additionally, the motor is maintenance-free for maximum uptime.
This narrow aisle picker includes Hangcha's industry-leading lithium-ion battery technology. These 24/125 ah batteries offer the outstanding run times and power that busy fulfillment centers require. The onboard charger makes charging as simple as plugging the A Series into the nearest wall outlet.
Falls are a grave risk for any operator working at height. Hangcha's A Series Electric Stock Picker includes an operator safety pedal in the cabin to mitigate this hazard. When the operator steps off this pedal, travel, lifting, and lowering stop automatically.
The A Series Stock Picker packs a lot into a little package, but the biggest selling points fall into 5 categories:
In addition to the high-performance brushless AC motor, the A Series stock picker includes a CURTIS control system and CANBUS structure. These systems provide smooth, precise operator control with vehicle data at the operator’s fingertips.
With productivity in mind, Hangcha designed the stock picker to travel and lift simultaneously. This allows operators to move around a facility while raising or lowering the stock picker to their desired height in one smooth, seamless operation. The truck reaches a maximum speed of 3.4 mph and adjusts speed based on lift height.
Since stock pickers require a standing operator, ergonomics are essential in these models. The A series reduces operator fatigue by providing smooth lifting, lowering, and acceleration. The stable design, ergonomic controls, and backrest minimize operator fatigue and stress.
Both the brushless AC motor and the lithium-ion battery are maintenance-free. This dramatically reduces workload as well as the total cost of vehicle ownership. The integrated display also offers advanced diagnostics for maintenance personnel. Finally, the rear hood is easily removed for convenient access to the hydraulic unit and electric controller.
The A Series Electric Stock Picker is built with only high-quality parts. This includes all switches, connectors, and instruments to ensure longevity. Likewise, all wires and cables are protected to extend the life of the electrical system. The frame is also built of high-strength steel to ensure it holds up to years of extended use.
Operator safety is paramount in Hangcha's A Series. This vertical order picker comes standard with a tilt sensor to prevent tipping on slopes, speed controllers to automatically decelerate when turning, and a ground-level emergency lowering valve to rescue the operator while at height. Additionally, this model features a low mast design to remove all obstacles to visibility.
The Hangcha A Series Electric Stock Picker is a straightforward, reliable machine, but it does have a few drawbacks. First, the front and rear tray sizes make this vertical order picker a poor choice for large order fulfillment. If you’ll be fulfilling orders of palletized products, consider an order picker with forks.
Second, while the A Series encloses the operator on all 4 sides, it does not include a built-in safety harness. Physical barriers, like the operator's wrist controls, help reduce the risk of a fall. However, safety-minded facilities might want to add an after-market operator harness.
Hangcha’s A Series Electric Stock Picker is a phenomenal vehicle for order fulfillment facilities and small item warehouses. If you think the A Series might be right for your facility, consider leasing your unit. Leasing provides all the benefits of ownership while still protecting your budget against the upfront cost of purchasing a new stock picker outright.
