battery recharge is required. To adapt the forklift to specific applications the driver can make numerous settings in advance. “The comfortable, user-friendly features of this pantograph reach truck make the operator’s job easier and are beneficial to health and safety,” says Tielmann, adding that this was also “indispensable” to helping the operator increase the truck’s level of throughput. Assistance Systems and Numerous Options Enhance Safety and Efficiency By providing a large selection of assistance systems Jungheinrich has further facilitated the operator’s work. The “SNAP” function for example involves the semi-automatic preselection of rack height. By “snapping” out the control element the truck automatically recognises the targeted rack position; it is no longer necessary to manually select the height.
High Rate of Efficiency for Intensive Operations As with all Jungheinrich pantograph reach trucks, the powertrain components in the ETR 230 and ETR 235 are ideally harmonised and designed for maximum efficiency. A high-performance 36-Volt three-phase AC motor provides for powerful acceleration at travel speeds of nearly 12 kilometres per hour. “With a lift speed of 0.6 metres per second and lift heights of up to 7.6 metres, the truck provides for fantastic productivity,” reports Tielmann. The vehicle also possesses a high rate of energy efficiency, running for two shifts on a single battery charge, making the ETR “ideal for intensive, extended applications”, according to Tielmann.
Jungheinrich ranks among the world’s leading companies in the material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow engineering sectors. The company is an intralogistics service and solution provider with manufacturing operations, which offers its customers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks, logistics systems, services and advice.
