4.3.7 Sensors
The sensor consists of an induction loop. Electric current generates a magnetic field
that collapses, thus generating a current that falls asymptotically toward zero from its
initial level, when the electricity input ceases. The inductance of the loop changes
according to the material inside it and, since metals are much more effective inductors
than other materials, the presence of metal increases the current flowing through the
loop. This change can be detected by sensing circuitry, which can signal to some other
device whenever metal is detected.
• Tiller sensor
• Initial lift upper limit sensor (only with initial lift masts)

The truck can be equipped with a simplex, duplex or triplex mast unit, depending on the
functional needs for the truck. The mast units can also be equipped with straddle forks,
which enable closed pallet handling, or with initial lift, which makes pallet handling more
versatile, enables double-pallet handling and increases the truck’s ground clearance in
ramp operations.
