Original Press Release:
New Heavy-Duty Electric Four-Wheel Forklift Trucks Provide Ultimate Material Handling Solution for Loading
A new line of heavy-duty, Electric Four-wheel Counterbalance lift trucks (EFG-4 and 5 Series), that provide excellent maneuverability and performance for storing or retrieving loads up to 10,000 pounds, are available from Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp., Richmond, Va. The EFG-4 and 5 Series trucks, designed with a new 80-volt electric motor that provides higher energy efficiency, are ideally suited for indoor and outdoor applications, such as: do-it-yourself home centers and lumber yards, industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants, food distribution centers, processing facilities and assembly lines, among others.
The trucks feature a patented Curve Speed Reduction Steering System and five individually programmed operating modes that operate independently of the selected operating mode and prevents the possibility of "tipping." The truck's internal sensors maintain the amount of centrifugal force exerted on the operator, load and machine at a low level. Sensors "feel" the steering angle and then automatically adjust travel speed or activate the electronic brake to slow the vehicle and safely navigate the turn. The steering assembly has a jointed, cross-shaft axle with an integral steering cylinder and twin rear wheels that provides maximum maneuverability through turns. Vehicle turns are made safe and comfortable on all floor surfaces.
A steering-wheel-mounted, LCD information and service display (LISA) device allows the driver to choose from five individually adjustable operating modes. Operators can adjust acceleration, braking, travel, lifting and lowering speeds to suit the specific task. LISA also displays detailed text for fast and accurate reading of operating conditions and service requirements.
EFG-4 and 5 Series Truck Details
The EFG-4 and 5 Series trucks handle loads from 5,000 up to 10,000 pounds, reach travel speeds of 12.4 mph with load, lift speeds of 98 ft/min and offer a real alternative to combustion trucks, even when using heavy attachments. A totally enclosed motor/front-wheel drive axle, which includes AC motor, gears and multiple disc brakes is completely maintenance-free. Dust and moisture-protected axle and enclosed AC controllers in combination with super-elastic tires allow the truck to be operated indoors as well as outdoors without compromise.
Each EFG-4 and 5 Series model features the exclusive Jungheinrich slim mast design, which places the lift cylinders behind the mast for optimum visibility at all lift heights. Standard EFG-4 and 5 Series vehicles are equipped with a "SOLO-PILOT" control lever that allows the operator to manipulate all hydraulics, travel direction, lifting functions and horn with minimal effort. An optional "MULTI-PILOT" joystick control combines all hydraulic functions plus a travel direction switch into one ergonomically shaped control lever.
