New all-rounder from Jungheinrich (type EJD 220) doubles as low and high-platform truck, combining the proven performance and safety characteristics of "conventional" Jungheinrich pedestrian-controlled trucks.

Jungheinrich is introducing a new electric pedestrian-controlled truck in January 2010. This type EJD 220 truck can pick up two Euro pallets at the same time, thus combining the characteristics of a low and high-platform truck in the same stacker. "That is why we call it a 'double-deck' truck," explains Oliver Hiekel, Head of product management and product marketing for pedestrian-controlled trucks at Jungheinrich. Thanks to its flexible design, the Jungheinrich EJD 220 can be deployed for virtually any task: from loading and unloading lorries and transporting pallets to stacking goods up to a height of 2,560 millimetres.

Double-decker stackers can perform their tasks at virtually twice the speed compared with conventional low and high-platform trucks. The Jungheinrich EJD 220 can transport loads of 2 x 1,000 kilogrammes in double-deck operating mode. In pure low-platform operating mode, it can transport up to 2,000 kilogrammes. This Jungheinrich all-rounder handles loads sturdily and reliably. The truck comes with a chassis made of 8 mm steel and a high-performance 1.6 kW motor based on the latest Jungheinrich A.C. three-phase technology. The operator can employ batteries with a capacity of up to 375 Ah to support multi-shift operation. Sideways access to the battery provides the necessary flexibility for battery changes. Independent of this, the user can conveniently recharge the EJD 220 at any mains socket via an integrated charging device (optional).
