TWIN

TWIN automatic greasing will keep your vehicles in top condition Groeneveld offers several automatic greasing system options for transport vehicles. One of them is the dual line TWIN system that is mostly used in vehicles operating under severe conditions for continuous periods of time. TWIN guarantees that all pivoting points that need lubrication are constantly greased, ensuring that the availability of the vehicles is not endangered as a result of unanticipated problems due to bad lubrication. Thus, TWIN has a serious impact on your operational management. This ingenious greasing system will grease every lubrication point of your machine accurately, while it also self-checks and alerts the operator in case of any malfunction. What you gain: reduced loss of time due to maintenance and downtime, i.e. a higher return on investment from your equipment.

SingleLine

Automatic single-line O-grease greasing system with air pump Groeneveld supplies the single-line automatic greasing system in a special version for trucks. This system greases all greasing points simultaneously, at the right moment and with the correct amount of grease. Because of the regular greasing, vital parts such as the stub axles and the clutch disc will remain well-greased at all times so moisture and sand are kept out. Wear of expensive parts is reduced to a minimum without you having to give it a single thought. The benefits of an automatic greasing system time gain no extra service stops reduced wear reduced repair costs greater reliability Operation Via the main line, the metering blocks and the metering units, and then via secondary lines, the pump unit pumps the exact amount of grease to each greasing point. In lorries an electronic time switch determines the greasing moment and the duration of the greasing cycle every time the set interval time is reached. For trailers and semi-trailers without a regular power supply, Groeneveld offers a version with a brake counter. Here, the greasing cycle is initiated as soon as the brake has been engaged for a set number of times. The brake counter is actuated electrically (brake light voltage) or pneumatically (air circuit). In case of low grease pressure in the main line, a pressure switch will monitor this and activate an audible or optical alarm in the cab. Transparent grease reservoir with follower plate The follower plate is a standard feature. It locks in the grease in the reservoir. The benefits of the follower plate: no oxidation of the grease no water condensation near the grease no funnelling; all the grease is used clean reservoir wall, clearly showing the grease level Lubricants Use of the correct grease enhances the effect of automatic greasing. Groeneveld supplies the especially developed Greenlube EP-0 grease that combines the best properties of the various greases. Also, Greenlube EP-0 grease does not contain any nitrite, antimonies or lead. Expert installation Groeneveld's automatic greasing systems are installed and supplied turnkey as complete installation kits per vehicle type on the basis of the required number of greasing points. Groeneveld's mechanics will carry out the installation or instruct your own maintenance staff.

Oilmaster

Oilmaster, automatic oil checks and oil addition Checking and adding oil is a daily necessity for diesel and petrol engines. This manual 'oil management' remains a continuous worry and it increases costs more than necessary. Oilmaster solves both problems in a professional and efficient manner. The convenience of security The primary benefit that Oilmaster provides to drivers is additional convenience. Adding oil while on the road - something that always leads to dirty hands at inconvenient moments - is definitely a thing of the past. Oilmaster offers maintenance staff and management more comfort in the form of increased security. Risks of major repairs, downtime and claims for damages due to engine damage are, in fact, reduced to a minimum.

• Sophisticated oil management
  Oilmaster monitors the oil level when the ignition is switched on and automatically adds oil, as necessary. The system will then pump a small quantity of oil from the integrated reservoir to the engine sump. Because of the monitoring frequency and the addition of oil when required, the engine can always run at the perfect oil level. In general, this level is substantially lower than the maximum level mark on the dipstick. This accounts for a major part of the profits that the Oilmaster generates day in, day out - oil consumption is substantially lower at low oil levels, and far less oil is required than usual, when changing oil. This rapidly increases financial benefits, especially when expensive oil is used. And of course the environment also profits from the minimal oil consumption.
  
  
• Advanced electronics
  The highly accurate level sensor ensures that the oil level that was set when the Oilmaster was installed will be monitored carefully. Smart electronics prevent overfilling of oil. Also, important information is stored in the Oilmaster's electronic memory to enable quick diagnosis in case of excess oil consumption.
  
  
• Oilmaster: benefits that convince
  
  • reduced consumption of driver time
    
  • reduced oil consumption due to optimum oil level setting
    
  • less downtime for maintenance and repairs
    
  • always identical oil quality
    
  • no spare oil in the vehicle
    
  • closed oil management system
    
  • less oil needed when changing oil
    
  • reduced burden on the environment
    
    
• 6-litre and 12.5-litre Oilmaster models
  The most widely used Oilmaster is the 12.5-liter model. A 6-litre model is also available for smaller vehicles. Because of its smaller size, this model can be fitted easily in delivery vans, smaller lorries and such - naturally with the same positive effects on the availability and the profitability of these vehicles.

ACTIVE SECURITY

Speedlimiter

Electronic speed limiter for trucks, busses and vans A speed or rpm limiter increases safety and contributes to the cost-efficiency of the vehicle due to higher fuel efficiency and reduced wear of the engine, tyres and brakes. Economical and safe Safety considerations and legal provisions are usually instrumental to the purchase of speed limiters. Reduction of the emission of harmful substances was one of the reasons why legislative powers set a maximum permissible driving speed. For years now, Groeneveld has supplied rpm and speed limiters that meet all international standards and test requirements.

• Driving comfortably
  The Groeneveld electronic speed limiter leaves engine power fully intact, while setting a maximum speed and/or rpm. Due to its digital electronic control, the speed limiter operates smoothly and highly accurately. The limiter also takes changing circumstances such as downhill, uphill and head wind into account, without the driver noticing anything. The EFA limiter motor is of the dual operating type - it can both thrust and pull. As a result, the driver does not need any extra strength to keep the accelerator in the correct position.
  
  
• A sensible investment
  
  • saves fuel costs
    
  • saves maintenance and repair costs of brakes, engine and tyres
    
  • increased road safety
    
  • increased driver comfort
    
  • reduces burden on environment
    
    
• PTO and Speedhold
  In vehicles with Power Take-Off (PTO), limiting the second engine rpm is generally possible. All Groeneveld limiters feature a speedhold switch which allows temporary limitation at a second, lower, top speed.
  Option: additional driving comfort with Cruise Control
  Driving with Groeneveld Cruise Control is much more comfortable. Cruise Control enhances the advantages of the speed limiter, particularly with regard to driver comfort.
  All the driver has to do is to touch a small dashboard lever. It will maintain the current driving speed, allowing the driver to take his foot off the accelerator! As soon as the brake, clutch, engine brake or retarder is actuated, the Cruise Control switches off. The electronics take changing conditions such as downhill, uphill and head wind into account to prevent fluctuations in driving speed. Cruise Control can be purchased as an option along with a Groeneveld EFA speed limiter or as an upgrade kit for pre-mounted limiters.

• Speed limiter for forklift trucks
  As a rule, forklift trucks that are too fast do not contribute to speedier handling of goods nor, consequently, to higher cost efficiency. Rather to the contrary - fast driving leads to unexpected costs as a result of increased engine, brake and tyre wear, while the chances of collision also increase substantially.
  Economical and safe
  With a special speed limiter for forklift trucks developed on the basis of the know-how of speed limiters for trucks, Groeneveld has the perfect solution.
  A forklift truck with a Groeneveld speed limiter will generate substantial savings. Maintenance costs will be reduced and truck life will increase. Also, fuel economy will increase, while the emission of harmful exhaust gasses will be reduced.
  And then there is the important aspect of safety. Chances of accidents resulting in injury or damages are also be reduced substantially.
  
  
• The benefits of the Groeneveld speed limiter:
  
  • reduced costs due to fewer repairs and less downtime
    
  • reduced wear, i.e. longer life
    
  • fewer damages to means of production, goods and the forklift truck itself
    
  • increased safety
    
  • does not affect acceleration and lifting capacity
    
    
• How it works
  The speed limiter limits the top end speed of the forklift truck to a safe value. The maximum speed is set in the electronic control unit (8 km/h minimum). The set maximum speed can only be changed with special equipment. It is possible to seal the control unit after it has been set as an extra security measure.
  The speed sensor which is already on the forklift truck - or which will be mounted on the axle of the truck - measures the forklift truck speed. The electronic control unit will then convert the measured value into a control signal to the actuator. If required, the actuator will ensure that the position of the throttle lever is adjusted.
  When working with the forklift truck, it is important that acceleration and lifting capacity is affected and that the engine retains its full power. With the Groeneveld limiter, this aspect has been achieved.
  
  
• Easy to install
  The Groeneveld speed limiter is developed to be incorporated into forklift trucks with combustion engines. The limiter can be mounted onto almost every current type of forklift truck.
  Special installation kits are available to this purpose. They include an actuator (EFA), mounting hardware, an electronic control unit, a speed sensor and hardware to connect the kit to the existing throttle system. Groeneveld or your authorized dealer can install the kits and set the limiter for you.

Greensight

Greensight Rear Obstacle Detection For Reversing A lot of skill and nerves of steel, that’s what a driver needs when he is reversing a lorry. Greensight, a Groeneveld product, is an effective damage prevention device. Greensight provides the driver with accurate information about the free space behind the vehicle. Various light and/or acoustic signals indicate exactly how far the vehicle is from a possible obstacle or loading platform. While reversing, the driver will see the Greensight display from the corner of his eye, indicating whether there are any obstacles behind the vehicle. Also, when there is immediate danger of collision, the driver is warned by a buzzer.

• The benefits of Greensight
  
  • Increased safety for people and objects behind the vehicle
    
  • Less damage and consequently less downtime
    
  • Detects only the risk area directly behind the vehicle
    
  • More driver security and comfort
    
  • Also works in bad weather conditions and darkness
    
  • Professional, reliable technology
    
    
• How it works
  Two sensor units use ultrasonic sound to check the space up to three metres behind the vehicle. This space is divided up into three sharply defined zones, each with its own visual and acoustic signals. The types of signals depend on the type of vehicle.
  In the case of a rigid lorry, a signal unit that produces both audible and visual signals (using LEDs) is fitted in the cab.
  
  
• Self-diagnosis
  Greensight automatically activates when the driver changes into reverse. The system first performs a self-test. Within a few seconds, Greensight is ready to perform its security task.
  Top corner detection
  Groeneveld also supplies a Greensight model with top corner detection. By mounting two additional ultrasonic units on top of the vehicle, high obstacles such as signboards, half-opened rolling doors and tree branches are also detected.
