Jungheinrich Jungheinrich with a new electric counterbalance
truck 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. While one of the
trucks has an extended load centre of 600 millimetres, the
other truck has a short chassis that reduces the turning
radius. 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. "The new truck thus has excellent energy efficiency
at highest performance", says Stefan Pfetsch, Head of Product
and Portfolio Management counterbalance trucks at Jungheinrich.
"We call this Pure Energy". If required, the truck's 80 Volt
battery can be exchanged effortlessly and safely through a
simple battery changing system. A device for fixing the
battery, the SnapFit adapter, was combined with the
Jungheinrich battery trolley concept. SnapFit now provides
Jungheinrich with a standardised changing system for 48 and 80
Volt batteries combined with a commercial Jungheinrich
pedestrian truck that picks up the battery to be changed.
Stefan Pfetsch: "There is a significant economical improvement
thanks to this simple and flexible battery changing option."
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. A seat mounted armrest offers
additional operating comfort. It can also be steplessly
adjusted in height and length. "All primary operating elements
are thus quickly and simply adjusted to individual requirements
of the driver", Pfetsch underlines. The truck is optionally
available with a SOLO or MULTI PILOT integrated in the armrest.
The cab itself is spacious and has a level cab floor without
"stumbling blocks"- for excellent safety working conditions.
Well thought out and easily reached compartments are also part
of the cab design. "The truck sets standards regarding
adjustments to the driver and storage." A large window and
slender profiles also ensure excellent visibility. 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.
