Jungheinrich trucks win two top forklift awards


and energy efficiency still further. “Reliability, safety, productivity,


energy efficiency and delivering the lowest cost of ownership are always top of Jungheinrich’s agenda when we develop a new forklift,” says Jungheinrich UK marketing manager, Craig Johnson. He continues: “As part of our


‘BestInvest’ customer promise, Jungheinrich can reduce a company’s long-term materials handling fleet operating costs by up to 20 per cent to achieve the best long-term investment for a client’s intralogistics operation. “Jungheinrich offers a host of advan-


tages to not only keep total cost of ownership to a minimum, but to also help clients transform materials handling costs into profitable investments thereby creating value.” But, it is not just its product quality


that distinguishes Jungheinrich from its competitors. The company’s after- sales support proposition is unique in the materials handling industry. Jungheinrich is the largest indepen-


Jungheinrich’s DFG/TFG 540s engine truck range was voted the outstanding product in the IFOY Counterbalanced Trucks (3.5 tonne capacity and above) category


Jungheinrich was recently announced as the winner of two of the four categories at the highly prestigious International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) awards ceremony


T


he IFOY Awards identify and recognise outstanding achieve- ments in the materials handling sector. The awards are open to


all manufacturers of materials handling equipment who supply products or services to the European market and a jury made up of well-respected trade journalists picks the winner in each category. Jungheinrich’s DFG/TFG 540s


engine truck range was voted the out- standing product in the IFOY Counterbalanced Trucks (3.5 tonne capacity and above) category, while the Jungheinrich ETV/ETM 214/216 reach truck was named IFOY’s Warehouse Truck of the Year. Launched last year,


the


Jungheinrich DFG/TFG 540s counter- balanced engine truck range features hydrostatic drive technology and has been designed to offer the lowest noise levels and emissions. Fuel consumption is also particularly low and over a number of operational tests, the truck made large, fuel cost savings in comparison to competitor’s conventional


torque converter counterbalanced trucks. 6


Indeed, the Jungheinrich TFG’s impressive fuel consumption statistics are proving very attractive to clients with large fleets. Jungheinrich has been able to demonstrate that over the course of 2,000 hours of typical operation, the trucks save some £2,000 in fuel costs in comparison with similar capacity counterbalance trucks. It goes without saying that for sites where a large fleet is in operation, the savings are extremely significant. In fact, at one client site, the new


trucks are proving to be some 40 per cent more fuel efficient than the models they replaced. Meanwhile, the ETV/ETM 214/216


reach truck is a recent addition to Jungheinrich’s best-selling range of sit-on reach trucks. The trucks feature the latest generation AC technology which offers exceptionally high performance and reduces operating costs to a minimum. They also benefit from a fully sealed


electronic controller and custom- designed onboard software specifi- cally tailored for forklift truck use. Because it is bespoke the software helps to increase both truck reliability
