The eye-catcher in a forklift

The eye-catcher in a forklift

Forklift trucks generally have no suspension. The constant vibrations and shocks caused by travelling over uneven surfaces can contribute significantly to equipment failure. They also transport goods in and out of refrigerated warehouses or travel in hot indoor and outdoor areas, which affects the performance and service life of the equipment. The TOUGHBOOK 33 is built rugged from the ground up to withstand extreme temperatures and weather, water, dirt, dust, drops and vibrations.

Conventional terminals are permanently mounted on the forklift truck, which limits their possible applications. Modern processes and the call for greater efficiency require flexible devices such as the TOUGHBOOK 33, which can be easily moved from one vehicle to another or used outside the vehicle. It is highly configurable and optionally equipped with legacy connections, additional USB ports, barcode and smartcard readers and a detachable keyboard for extensive data input.

As warehouses and distribution centres are very spread out and forklift trucks are constantly on the move, maintaining network connectivity is a challenge for your customers. For this reason, Panasonic has developed its own antennas to ensure a strong connection quality. Modern interfaces such as Bluetooth 5.1, Gigabit LAN and 4G do the rest.

The fast-paced economy demands rugged processes from your customers, especially in shift operation. This requires reliable devices like the TOUGHBOOK 33. Its large, capacitive, glove-friendly 12″ touch display with sunlight-readable screen technology is ideal for indoor and outdoor warehouse applications. Windows 11 provides significantly increased computing power, strong connections to back-end systems, efficient execution of multiple applications and an improved security infrastructure.

Panasonic offers a specialised range of accessories for material handling, including dedicated docks and isolated power adapters, and has more than 25 years of experience in integrating equipment into vehicles.
