Steering
The front steering axle is suspended on ball joints. Rubber shock-absorbers provide smooth motion when the machine rolls over road bumps. The construction covers large angle of turning the steered wheels thus enabling minimal turning radius and high maneuverability of the platform.
Steering gear is mechanical, consisting worm hypoid gear, fixed to the Steering axle.
The diameter of the Steering wheel and the gear ratio allow handy and effortless steering during motion.
Drive axle
The Drive axle is suspended to the Chassis by two longitudinal elliptic leaf springs.
The traction motor lies parallel of the rear axle. Torque transfers to the driven wheels via 2-stage main spur gear, symmetrical bevel differential gear and full-free half-shafts.
Electric system
Control electric equipment is based on relay-resistor scheme of indirect type. The traction motor is DC series type.
Five-stage - for EPK 2000 and six-stage – for EPK 3000 controllers ensure excellent dynamic advantages – easy and smooth drive off (either loaded or unloaded) – and protect the battery.
The electric platforms are standard equipped with pasted-plate batteries, but by request could be equipped with traction tubular-plate batteries.

The battery enables full-duty operation for about 6 – 8 hours.
Beam headlights and tail beams, direction indicators, brake-lights, horn and back up alarm work on 12 V operational supply from the Battery.
The power and operational circuits are protected by fuses.
Brake system
Electric platforms are equipped with drum brakes built in the driven wheels. Brakes can be operated in two independent ways – hydraulic (operational) by the brake pedal and manual, for parking, by a lever.
Pressing brake pedal switches off the electric circuit which controls the traction electric motor thus protecting batteries against overloading.
