Jungheinrich brings EFG M electric counterbalance forklifts to Asia-Pacific
The EFG MB three-wheel and EFG MC four-wheel trucks span 1.6 to three tonnes and can be ordered with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries.
Jungheinrich has introduced its EFG MB and EFG MC electric counterbalance forklifts to the Asia-Pacific market. The three-wheel MB handles 1.6 to two tonnes and is pitched at tight spaces; the four-wheel MC covers two to three tonnes with more stability for indoor and outdoor stacking. Both reach lift heights of up to 6500mm.
Buyers choose lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, with capacities from 346Ah to 690Ah, plus manual levers or optional fingertip controls. Two performance packages are offered: EfficiencyPLUS for general handling and drive&liftPLUS for higher throughput, the latter standard on 2.5- to three-tonne models. CurveCONTROL, which slows the truck in corners, is standard on the MC.
Telematics comes standard across the range and feeds Jungheinrich Fleet Management, giving shops utilisation and maintenance data from the first day of operation. Jungheinrich claims braking energy recovery of up to 30% and backs lithium-ion models with its Li-ion Guarantee Plus for up to five years; the source does not independently verify either figure.
For a busy factory floor, the standard telematics means pre-operational checks and maintenance planning can be handled through the same fleet system rather than added separately.
