Features

Curtis AC controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance and functionality.

Driving and hydraulics are controlled by a AC controller to deliver fast and powerful performance.
Reduced operating costs are achieved by the elimination of motor brushes, commutators, directional, and hydraulic contactors.
Energy consumption efficiency translates into more run time per battery charge.

Using the most advanced battery technology, Li-ion batteries boast rapid charging speeds and a life cycle nearly four times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries. These batteries can be quickly recharged during breaks for increased uptime, eliminating the need for spare battery replacements. They also do not emit any harmful gases during charging and discharging for a cleaner and healthier workplace. Long-term maintenance costs are also reduced by eliminating the need for distilled water or electrolyte supplementation. We offer a warranty of 5 years or 2,500 cycles.
