Protects against rust & humidity

Its CPP (Corrosion Protection Package) has been introduced to ensure that the highest level of protection is built-in for industries which have essential corrosion protection standards or who need to protect equipment from aggressive operating environments.

The forklifts are coated with high-quality alloys to ensure comprehensive rust protection. This makes it easier to meet food standards such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). Moreover, customers benefit from an increased life time of the trucks and from lower repair costs.

The CPP includes two treatment stages, giving all parts of the forklift permanent resistance to corrosion and humidity. With the thermal spraying process, the chassis, all mast components, footplate, battery cover, side panels, controller cover and the counterweight are alloyed with 85 per cent zinc and 15 per cent aluminium in the first stage. 

After subsequent painting, the forklift is permanently protected from corrosion, even in the case of slight damage. When the colour paint is then applied, the formation of toxic zinc oxide is also prevented. In a second stage, the overhead protection guard undergoes cathodic dip painting (KTL). With this electrochemical process, the work piece is completely soaked in an immersion bath of electrically conductive paint and thus coated. 

The finishing with the CPP is particularly suitable for forklifts that are exposed to humidity, chemicals or salts in operational use. The coating process excludes the possibility of rust or paint particles becoming detached from the forklift and damaging the goods being transported or the work environment.
