Dana Inc. announced new drive technologies for material-handling vehicles, including a low-voltage, high-efficiency motor for electric-powered applications.

Included in the launch is a new 48- to 120/144-volt synchronous reluctance internal permanent magnet motor. It is targeted for Class I electric lift trucks, side loaders and mobile elevated work platforms and available for field testing by equipment manufacturers.
The motor offers continuous power from 20 kilowatts to 60 kW, and peak power from 30 kW to 70 kW. It is scheduled for production late this year.
Available now for cushion- and pneumatic-tire forklift trucks, the Spicer 141 axle offers a range of ratios to optimize tractive performance. Wet brake and drum brake configurations are available, and the new series of axles includes a variety of mast and frame mounting options.
Its new lifetime wet brake offering comes standard with an internal spring-applied hydraulic-release parking brake to support industry safety initiatives. — Transport Topics
