Drive Assist

Our smart driver assistance systems detect potentially critical driving situations and are able to brake automatically. In addition to increased warehouse and operator safety, they also provide top performance with the highest level of energy efficiency thanks to the intelligent driving programmes.

Driver assistance systems and functions from STILL
 

Active Floor Compensation (AFC)
So that everything runs smoothly – even if the floor doesn't

Active Floor Compensation (AFC) for STILL VNA trucks MX-X l – maximum performance even on uneven floors.

With the assistance system for the MX-X Very Narrow Aisle Truck, we offer a genuine alternative to reconditioning the warehouse floor. The system identifies any uneven surfaces in the load wheels’ path and compensates for them in real time. This ensures that the truck frame always remains horizontal and the mast vertical. The AFC system – the only one of its kind on the market – has ultra-fast processors which allow it to react instantaneously, even when travelling at top speeds. In contrast to passive systems that only have a dampening effect, this system actively prevents vibrations before they occur.

 

Curve Speed Control
Automatic speed adjustment for curves

The speed limiter controlled by steering angle reduces the chance of damaging goods owing to the appropriate cornering speed. This assistance function is available for various forklift trucks and warehouse technology devices, and regulates the driving speed automatically according to the steering angle. In other words, the driver doesn't need to worry about speed when cornering. The truck automatically decelerates the precise amount needed for the operator to drive in a safe but swift manner.

 
OptiSpeed tiller
Works at any angle

Regardless of the tiller angle, the OptiSpeed tiller steering automatically ensures that the maximum driving speed is adapted to the angle. If the angle becomes sharper, the unit decelerates automatically. The tiller steering helps to ensure safe movement even in tight spaces. The operator is thus able to steer easily and work ergonomically.
