This is the 6,000 lb capacity one, ECR327A, brand new. The problem is there is no variable traction between what I might call "creep speed" and "middle speed". In other words, you start out turning the "throttle" hand grips and pallet jack creeps forward but as you increase turning the grips nothing happens until you turn perhaps fifteen degrees and then suddenly it jumps up to what I would guess is about mid range speed.
From mid range to fast it works fine with smooth transistion....but slow to middle there is no smooth transition....slow to medium with nothing in between.
Curiously it works fine in reverse...forward is the only problem.
Being new, it's under warranty, so techs came with laptop and changed parameters and it only get's worse if anything. So they put it back to original default, leave, and vow to come back when they know more about why it is happening.
My needs are a bit more particular than most and suspect the average warehouse operator might not even care if it was like it is. OTOH, I have an older Jungheinrich (2006) same model, also with AC drives that doesn't act this way...it is smooth as silk transition traction.
So, any idea what the heck is wrong with this one ? Or is it "just the way they are" on the newer models ?
