Jungheinrich will be displaying its EFG 430 and EFG 550 electric counterbalanced trucks at the show. A main feature of both trucks’ design is the Pure Energy concept, which employs the latest generation of environmentally friendly Jungheinrich three-phase AC engineering. This  proprietary feature by Jungheinrich consists of a finely tuned interplay between motor and electronic control system. High-frequency actuation of the three-phase AC motors delivers extremely high cost efficiency results.

Jungheinrich will also be showcasing its series 4 and 5 hydrostatic-drive
counterbalanced trucks at drinktec 2013. At the heart of these trucks is a Volkswagen engine which is employed in both the diesel (DFG) and LPG (TFG) versions, while the variable displacement pumps and wheel motors are supplied by Bosch Rexroth. The truck’s control system allows for top performance while yielding a maximum of energy efficiency – a feature made possible by Jungheinrich’s own specially developed software.

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, shelving systems, services and advice.
