Jungheinrich with a new electric counterbalance truck JUNGHEINRICH

Jungheinrich is going to launch a new fork lift truck in the market in spring 2012: a counterbalance truck, type EFG 425-430, with an electrically powered motor. This new truck is powerful and at the same time energy-efficient and economical with up to 13 percent less energy consumption.

The truck series can transport loads up to 3.000 kilograms. This new range supplements the previous electric truck portfolio by two further trucks with 3 tons load capacity.

Due to the use of the latest generation of environment-friendly Jungheinrich 3-phase AC technology, the electric trucks have a high operating ratio at constantly low energy consumption. According to VDI cycle, this could be reduced by up to 13 percent compared with the previous generation.

Truck properties are determined by individual customer requirements

The new EFG 425-430 has two different specifications over and above all capacity classes. The truck performance can be configured in different ways due to the new equipment variants Efficiency and Drive&LiftPlus. Truck specifications can thus be adapted exactly to individual customer requirements.

The ergonomics of the new Jungheinrich electric trucks have also been adjusted and improved. Height and tilt of the slender steering column can be easily adjusted with one-point-adjuster.

Various assistance systems for more safety and economic efficiency

The new EFG 425-430 is equipped with a number of modular assistance systems. They assist the driver dependent wherever he wants to utilise the truck. Access Control, for example, is an assistance system that only releases the truck after a certain sequence of control mechanisms (closed seat switch, seat belt). Drive Control is based on Curve Control successfully integrated in Jungheinrich electric trucks for more than 10 years. In parallel to speed reduction on corners, the travel speed is also restricted from a defined lift height. On the Lift Control assistance package for safe handling of the load, the tilt speed is also restricted from a defined lift height as well as, if required, an integrated sideshift is placed at a pre-programmed central position and the mast tilt is displayed.
