Original Press Release:



Versatile Man-Up Stacker Provides Access To Both Sides Of Very Narrow-Aisle Storage Systems



Unique man-up ETX-Kombi lift trucks, that are compact and provide excellent maneuverability for storing or retrieving pallet loads in very narrow aisle applications, are available from Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., Richmond, Va. The trucks feature a driver's cabin that provides the operator the ability to either stand or sit while operating the truck. The trucks also have a patented 180-degree swing reach mast and an AC drive control that is ideally suited for use in narrow aisles and confined spaces. The trucks are found in a host of industrial and commercial applications, such as: industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centers, among others.

The elevating ergonomically designed driver's cab provides unobstructed views of the forks, load and aisle way. All control devices are ergonomically positioned in the center control panel minimizing driver fatigue. The operator receives important truck information from a digital display on the center console. Truck functions, i.e. lifting/lowering, steering, braking, etc., are controlled by two switches and push buttons located on the console. The cabin also has strong safety bars and a foot guard to assure maximum driver protection.

The truck's rotating mast allows loads to be picked up and retrieved from either side of the storage aisle. End positions during side shifting and rotation of the forks are approached at crawl speeds to protect the load. For quicker storage and retrieval, side shifting and rotation can be accomplished simultaneously. A powerful up to 7kW, 3-phase AC motor provides the muscle to handle forklift travel and lifting requirements. Also, the AC technology extends the truck's in-service capabilities and performance.

The ETX-Kombi truck product line handles loads up to 3,300 pounds, reaches travel speeds up to 6.5 mph with load and lift speeds of 82 ft/min. Each ETX-Kombi model features an AC drive control with stepless, sensitive control of travel speed via MOSFET technology. The travel speed is determined by more or less movement of the right hand switch located on the central control panel. When the switch is released regenerative braking is activated and reclaimed energy is fed into the battery.

The compact trucks are 61 inches wide and available with either a two-stage or three-stage mast. The maximum lift height for the two-stage mast is 462 inches and for the three-stage mast is 560 inches. Also, the trucks have a maximum turning radius of 98.3 inches for optimum maneuverability.
