Jungheinrich opens Asia-Pacific orders for EFG MB and EFG MC electric forklifts
The three-wheel EFG MB covers 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes; the four-wheel EFG MC covers 2.0 to 3.0 tonnes. Both take lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries and reach lift heights up to 6,500 mm.
Jungheinrich has opened Asia-Pacific orders for its next-generation EFG MB and EFG MC electric counterbalance forklifts. The three-wheel EFG MB spans 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes of load capacity and is pitched at confined spaces; the four-wheel EFG MC spans 2.0 to 3.0 tonnes for indoor and outdoor transport and stacking. Both reach lift heights up to 6,500 mm.
Buyers choose between lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries rated 346 to 690 Ah, and between two performance packages: efficiencyPLUS for everyday handling and drive&liftPLUS for higher throughput, the latter standard on 2.5 to 3.0 tonne models. Jungheinrich cites energy recovery during braking of up to 30 per cent. Telematics is standard and feeds Jungheinrich Fleet Management.
For a shop weighing a counterbalance purchase, the battery choice now sits alongside performance packages rather than being fixed by model, so shift patterns and charging arrangements can drive the specification. Jungheinrich states that curveCONTROL, which cuts speed automatically when cornering, is standard on the EFG MC.
The manufacturer says more than 6,100 trained service technicians back the series worldwide and that shared components and integrated truck data support faster parts supply and maintenance planning. Those are company claims; the announcement gives no independent figures on availability, lead times or fleet performance.
