The operator station is built around a semi-suspension seat, a small steering wheel, and electro-hydraulic direction changing for repeated cycle work, with a lowering damping device inside the lifting system to reduce mast shock and the noise of loads setting down. Service weight is \u003cstrong\u003e11,519 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e, so plan dock and floor loading accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n
