EKX 514a / 516ka / 516a

Overview

Equipped with an 80-volt drive and a maintenance-free synchronous reluctance motor, it reaches entirely new performance dimensions while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. With the optional integration of an on-board charger as well as a conductor rail and current collector, it is ideally equipped for 24/7 operation. The optional 360° safety sensor system enables the use of the EKXa in an open, non-fenced narrow-aisle warehouse. With the optional pallet and empty-space detection feature, existing racking in previously manually operated narrow-aisle warehouses can be automated. Thanks to field-proven inductive guidance in combination with RFID transponders, precise positioning at the storage location as well as automatic aisle changes become possible. With the option of step-by-step automation, all paths to warehouse processes with maximum availability, efficiency and performance are open to you.

How we calculate the even ScoreFew reviews so far

The even Score (0 to 100) sets the order of solutions. It is based only on published reviews:

  • 85% quality: the average of performance, reliability and maintenance effort per review.
  • Recency: newer reviews count more. After two years, a review counts only half as much.
  • Smoothing: with few reviews, the value is pulled towards a fixed middle value of 3.5 stars, as if three reviews with 3.5 stars were added. So only solutions with several good and recent reviews reach a high score.
  • 15% recommendation: the share of reviewers who would recommend the solution (4 or 5 out of 5).
  • The even Score is shown from 3 reviews. Below that you see stars and the number of reviews, and the solution is listed after all with a visible score. On a tie, the number of reviews decides.

None of this can be bought: plans, advertising and co-marketing play no part.
