        Work In Tight Spaces With Ease

        Leveraging your floor and ceiling space has never been easier than with Bendi and Flexi forklifts. These lifts are versatile, very narrow aisle forklift trucks that can both work in tight spaces and also load trailers. Ergonomics and economics meet in the middle with these well designed, indoor/outdoor lifts.

        The Bendi allows operators to move safely into tight spots that others can’t reach. Their true 180° steering and front-end articulation, plus patented rear-wheel drive system offer unequalled stability, traction, and control, even in full turn positions. The Bendi can also work in bulk storage and congested manufacturing areas, push-back, double-deep rack and drive-in rack systems, rail cars, and outdoors.

        The Flexi model helps you increase storage capacity & reduce cost. The Flexi is a conventionally styled forklift that is easy to drive, and that works in about half the aisle of a conventional forklift. The Flexi is designed to operate in an aisle as narrow as 3’ plus the depth of the pallet. It is capable of picking both sides of the aisle from either direction and can actually leave the aisle to unload trucks at the dock.

        So if you have got some tight spaces in your warehouse these lifts are a perfect fit for your operation.

            Zero Pressure Accumulation System

            EZLogic® Accumulation System

            EZLogic®, or Electronic Zero-pressure Logic, is a method of zero-pressure control that combines the sensing accuracy of photo-electrics with discrete electronic logic control without the use of a PLC or pneumatic logic components. This system provides all the “intelligence” needed to accurately control the various functions of zero-pressure accumulation on a variety of conveyor models. Reduced noise, higher reliability, higher throughputs and ease of maintenance are just some of the advantages of the EZLogic® system.

            EZLogic

            The heart of the EZLogic® Accumulation System is the EZLogic® zone controller. Each controller is equipped with a photoelectric input device to detect product presence, a microprocessor to evaluate various input signals, and control connections to provide communication of data between zones and to and from outside sources. Two types of product sensing are available: A retro-reflective type which is used in conjunction with a reflector to detect packages by looking across the width of the conveyor, and a diffuse type which is used to detect packages when a reflector cannot be used.

            EZLogic® Features:

            • Easier Installation & Replacement
            • Dynamic Zone Allocation – Provides Unprecedented Throughput Possibilities
            • Easy to Configure
            • Functionality to Enhance Product Flow
            • Greatly Simplifies Field Wiring

            IOP Advantages:

            • Central Location For All Wiring
            • Reduced Installation Costs
            • “Peer to Peer” Communication
            • Easy to Reconfigure

            Dynamic Zone Allocation

            EZLogic® automatically adjusts the conveyor’s zone length to accommodate the length of the carton being conveyed. This provides better control of your boxes and naturally increases carton throughput, accumulation density, conveyor efficiency and system flexibility. If desired you can size zones for the smallest carton for maximum efficiency. Longer cartons introduced after installation do not obsolete the system, and the low-usage, long carton isn’t a problem.

            Input / Output Power System

            The input/output power system gives you the ability to install all of your “real time” inputs and outputs to the EZLogic® system, such as zone stop inputs, slug mode inputs, photo eye outputs, “jam detected” outputs and more. This centralizes all your control wiring to one spot and reduces installation costs. It can also be used for peer to peer communications. And it’s easy to reconfigure.

            If you’re interested in additional information on the EZLogic System and or would like to request a quote, please use the form below to submit your request or contact your local KMH Representative at 888-564-7978.
