What the STILL EXH-SF 20 and EXH-SF 25 Are

The EXH-SF 20 and EXH-SF 25 are electric ride-on pallet trucks built for horizontal transport and order picking. The EXH-SF 20 is rated at 2000 kg and the EXH-SF 25 at 2500 kg. Both are battery powered and can be supplied with lead, gel or lithium-ion batteries, and both use the same LAC (Linde Asynchronous Controller) microprocessor control for traction and lift, an ES30-24 steering unit and electric steering controlled through the tiller. This STILL EXH-SF 20 & EXH-SF 25 Electric Pallet Truck Operating Instructions Manual is the document that ships with the machine, and it is written for the people who actually run and maintain it.

What You Get From This Document

This is not a generic pallet truck leaflet. It is the machine-specific instruction set that ties every procedure to the EXH-SF 20 and EXH-SF 25 chassis, its tiller layout, its display-operating unit and its stabiliser system. A technician working from this STILL EXH-SF 20 & EXH-SF 25 Electric Pallet Truck Operating Instructions Manual can follow the pre-shift checks in order, understand what each warning light and error code on the display means, set the drive program, and know exactly where the load limits and stability boundaries sit.

The manual treats the truck as a system rather than a list of parts. Starting up, braking behaviour, the anti-crush safety device on the tiller head, the electromagnetic and counter-current brake systems and the three drive modes (Hare, Blue Q and Tortoise) are all described with the reasoning behind them, so an operator understands why the truck behaves the way it does instead of memorising button sequences.

Safety, Operator Rules and Inspections

A large part of the document is devoted to the responsibilities that come with running an industrial truck. It defines the operating company, the specialist and the driver, sets out driver rights and duties, and prohibits use by unauthorised persons. The safety chapter covers the hazards of oils, hydraulic fluid and battery acid, including the pressurised-fluid warning for the hydraulic system and the corrosive and toxic properties of electrolyte. It also explains where stability can be lost: cornering at speed, side-shifted loads, turning on gradients, ramp edges and steps. The periodic safety inspection obligation – at least once a year or after noteworthy incidents, recorded in a test log and marked with the inspection label – is described along with the FEM 4.004 reference.

Battery Handling and Charging

Battery work is covered in unusual depth. The manual explains lead, gel and lithium-ion options, vertical access and side access battery removal, the two different side-access locking systems, and the step-by-step sequence for each. External charging and the on-board charger both get their own sections, including the charger’s electrical specifications, the four charging curves selectable on the charger face (open lead-acid and GEL, above and below 210 Ah), the LED status table for charging phases, equalisation and polarity faults, partial opportunity charging, mains micro-break protection and the 16-hour time protection cut-out.

Maintenance Content

Maintenance is organised around interval-based plans, with the procedures to be carried out at each interval listed in full. The plans cover cleaning and error-code reading with the diagnostic tool, load arm condition, the electromagnetic brake, hinges, pump motor brushes, transmission gear noise and leaks, wheel condition and tightness, stabilisers, electric steering and lifting motor cleaning, cable and battery socket condition, electrical insulation checks, fuses, battery acid and electrolyte level, hydraulic oil level, pipework condition and controlled stabiliser oil level. Longer-interval work adds hydraulic oil draining and transmission gear oil draining. Recommended lubricants are named by specification, including hydraulic oil grades for standard, heavy-duty and cold store use, transmission gear oils, chain spray and lithium soap grease.

Diagnostics, Display and Fleet Options

The manual documents the display-operating unit in detail: selection buttons, battery charge management with its bar thresholds and warning stages, the operator presence indicator, temperature, settings and warning lights, the drive program indicator, the activity indicator, the Settings menu and the Error codes menu. The FleetManager option is covered end to end, including commissioning with a keypad or RFID reading device, the LED colour code and what each status means, fault causes and remedies, and the disconnect procedure. The on-board compressor option for the shock-absorbing platform bellows is also described.

Cold Store and Special Applications

Trucks fitted with the Cold Store option have their own usage rules, operating ranges, condensation and streaming precautions, and parking requirements. The manual makes clear that only Cold Store specification trucks may be used inside cold storage and that standard trucks risk significant damage in extreme conditions.

Technical Specifications Included

The final chapter is a full datasheet for both models, with nominal capacity, load centre of gravity, wheelbase, kerb weight, axle load distribution, tyre and wheel dimensions, track widths, lift height, tiller height, load arm dimensions, aisle width, turning radius, travel and lift speeds, maximum gradient, acceleration time, motor ratings, battery voltage and capacity options, battery weights, energy consumption, turnover output, noise level and vibration data.
