TELEHANDLERS
More productive with safety: telehandlers with driver assistance system VLS It’s clear that overload protection when raising, lowering and transporting with telehandlers means a lot for safety on the construction site. But how does this safety feature go along with productive and efficient work? With a telehandler by Wacker Neuson, it becomes possible, as all models are equipped with the Vertical Lift System (VLS), a driver assistance system that has it all. Work inflow Loading materials, transporting building materials, stacking boxes – it’s always then that the driver assistance system VLS plays to its strengths. It’s installed as standard in all Wacker Neuson’s telehandlers. VLS allows operators a fluid working operation and, through a partially automated telescoping movement, supports work in a complex operating environment. The nearly vertical lifting and lowering movement improve the

machine’s stability – another plus in day-to-day work on the construction site. What distinguishes VLS from other assistance systems for overload protection? “With VLS, the operator is well supported in his workflow, as he doesn’t always have to readjust and correct,” product manager Mirco Reif, who is in close communication with customers, knows. “This saves a lot of time. Because where other systems interrupt the working cycle by shutting off the hydraulic function, VLS ensures fluid operating sequences – even with high payloads.”
