Versatility and Value
Outdoors, the Nomad is a rugged workhorse that’s ideal for demanding applications on any improved surface. Indoors, it’s a highly agile machine that easily maneuvers in tight spaces — but its unique capability to move from one environment to the other is what really sets it apart.
Outmaneuvers the competition
A shorter frame combined with a wider, shorter
wheelbase creates a tighter turning radius and the
precise maneuverability of a cushion tire truck.
Dual-fuel flexibility
The Nomad’s dual-fuel K21 engine is powered
by gas or LP — for high power and low emissions
indoors and out.
5
The Nomad puts an end to the waste of time, space and trouble of setting up staging areas and transferring loads. It is truly a hybrid that combines the best of both cushioned tire and pneumatic tire models to reduce cycle times, increase efficiency and maximize the productivity of your operation.
Solid performance advantages
The solid pneumatic tires enable the Nomad to work
on a variety of surfaces — from the factory floor to the
loading dock and work yard. The Nomad also main-
tains higher capacity retention than similarly sized
pneumatic forklifts while it virtually eliminates flat tires.
Breathe easier
Whether you choose our LPG or dual-fuel engine, our
legendary K21 provides the ultimate combination of
power, torque and low emissions.
The unique design of our 5-piece componentized overhead guard cuts replacement time by 75%.
(See page 13 for details.)
The extraordinary fuel efficiency of our K21 engine means less time is spent refueling…and more
productivity is gained on every shift.
Up Your UpTime
6
The Nomad is designed so routine maintenance is required less often and can be completed faster. It’s equipped with sophisticated elec-tronics that monitor performance to prevent major problems. And it’s built to strict specifications and exacting tolerances so you can be sure your Nomad forklifts — and your operation — will always be up and running.
Easy LP tank changes
With our simplified LP replacement
system on our 5,000-lb. model,
an optional bracket swings out
90º, then pulls down to a manage-
able height, for faster, easier tank
replacement.
RR
Better By Design
Some competitors spare no expense to design a highly
sophisticated and complex stability control system — while
we’ve found a better way: a simple rubber damper that costs
little to make, nothing to maintain and never needs repair.
(See page 14 for details.)

Cleaner running and longer lasting performance
The K21 Engine is so sophisticated, advanced and reliable it has become the go-to engine for our customers…
and our competitors.
Built to run cleaner and last longer, the K21 features: an injector valve that produces a powerful opening force
to aid in conditions where lower quality LP fuel is used…a design that has gas located under the valve to help
reduce possible tar build-up on the injectors that can affect operation…and a pressure sensor located between
the two injectors.
Optimize system performance
Through a reliable CAN-bus network,
the engine control module (ECM) and
the vehicle control module (VCM) remain
in constant communication with each
other to continuously manage and optimize
system performance.
Get back up again quickly
On-board diagnostics accessed
through the LCD meter panel help
technicians identify problems quickly
so the unit is back up and on the job
faster. There’s no need for a tablet or
laptop to access error codes.

Stay cool
Our dependable three-stage cooling
system includes:
1. An electronic engine protection
warning system that continuously
monitors radiator and transmis-
sion oil temperatures
2. An innovative bottom bypass
design with thermostat to prevent
hot spots and prolong engine life
3. A 10-blade fan along with an
aluminum radiator for effective
cross-flow cooling
Superior visibility to steer clear of potential problems
A standard high-visibility carriage and your choice of an
OptiView®, triple-stage or wide-view mast — together
these features produce clear sightlines for both loading
and moving.
Comfort Zone
Our seat supports your driver and your productivity
The lumbar support and weight adjust-
ments create customized comfort for
each operator, while a non-cinching
seatbelt allows a wider range of
movement. The full suspension design
absorbs shocks for a smoother, more
comfortable ride — and it’s all standard
on Nomad Series forklifts.

Lumbar support adjustment
Weight adjustment
Driving a forklift can be both physically and mentally fatiguing, which can impact the health and wellbeing of your operators, the safety of your facility and the productivity of your operations. That’s why UniCarriers incorporates proven, ergonomic designs throughout our forklifts to optimize the comfort, visibility and performance of your operators.
The fluid movement, ease and control
of the Nomad’s spinner knob makes
it ideal for operating in reverse and in
tight spaces — and a favorite option
of forklift drivers.
R
Better fork tip visibility
Controls are ergonomically placed
across a low profile cowl, making
visibility while picking up loads easier
for a variety of operator heights.
9
Look back with confidence
To improve both maneuverability and operator comfort while driving in reverse,
an optional secure assist grip is available with a built-in horn button. For
even more comfort, the 5,000-lb. Nomad model is available with an optional
package that includes a swivel seat that pivots 15˚ in either direction.
Performance at your fingertips
The automotive-style fingertip controls
are intuitive and ergonomically placed
on either side of the steering column.
Big time comfort
The Nomad may be compact on the
outside, but it provides plenty of foot,
leg and head room inside.

Designed to save time and money
Our five-piece reinforced overhead
guard takes 75% less time to make
needed replacements versus most
competitors’ single-piece weld-on
guards. That cuts downtime and
saves money, too.
Extended service intervals
You’ll service the Nomad less often because the recommended times between
routine maintenance procedures is longer. And you’ll spend less time doing it
because the critical service points — including fluids, filters and belts — are all
readily accessible.
Is low maintenance a high priority?
Our electronic ignition system
eliminates spark plug wires and timing
adjustments because the engine cyl-
inder timing is individually controlled
through an ignition coil at each plug.
With no mechanical linkages or aging
wires that can cause performance
loss, it’s a design that will continue
to deliver better engine efficiency
and better uptime performance.

Creating a safe work environment is a priority for your operation and ours. From cleaner emissions and clearer sightlines to an ingenious stabilizer system and our comprehensive operator presence system — our engineers have overlooked no opportunity to enhance workplace safety.
Breathe easier
The Nomad’s CO levels are among
the lowest in its engine class — three
times lower than those of a major
competitor based on 2014 certifica-
tion results from the California Air
Resources Board.
We achieved these lower and cleaner
emission levels through the higher
combustion efficiency delivered by
our electronic engine control system
that incorporates a Vehicle Control
Module (VCM), Engine Control
Module (ECM) and a 3-way catalytic
muffler.
*Based on 2014 CARB certification results.

Safety doesn’t have to be complicated
Unlike the complex system offered
by some competitors, our cushion
stability control is simple, extremely
effective and zero maintenance —
enhanced lateral stability is achieved
by a rubber damper placed between
the axle and frame.

Seeing is believing
Ideal for newer operators or facilities that transport
delicate loads, our OptiView® mast combined with our
high-visibility carriage makes fork positioning and load
handling easier.
Cylinders are positioned behind the mast rails resulting in fewer visual obstructions for the operator.
Seat-actuated operator presence system
Our operator presence system is
among the most comprehensive and
sophisticated in any industry. Activated
within three seconds after the operator
leaves the seat, it sounds a seatbelt
alarm, automatically locks the mast’s
lift and tilt functions, shifts the trans-
mission into neutral, alerts the driver
to set the parking brake — and then
prompts the driver to engage his seat-
belt before restarting.
