mhlsept10jungheinrich1 High productivity and lower cost are twin themesThe twin themes of the Jungheinrich stand at IMHX 2010 (19L100 & 142) will be high productivity and low cost of ownership. Visitors will be able to see and discuss a wide range of products from the company’s extensive portfolio of materials handling equipment and racking and storage systems while, at the same time, enjoying Jungheinrich’s legendary hospitality.

Among the products to be shown for the first time is a new model multi-directional reach truck for long load handling. The new truck has been designed to significantly reduce tyre wear during operation – thereby cutting running costs – with all three wheels powered electrically.

Jungheinrich’s range of electric-powered tow tractors, which are offered in capacities from one to 25 tonnes, will also be highlighted. There will also be a strong focus on counterbalanced trucks. Among the three and four wheel machines on show will be Jungheinrich’s highly popular VFG range of IC engine-powered counterbalance lift trucks which, thanks to their hydrostatic drive, are ideal products for applications where a lot of ‘shuttling’ work is involved – such as lorry loading and unloading within and around a busy warehouse or factory environment.

Used equipment from Jungheinrich’s Ready to Go range will also be on display with a ‘cut-away’ truck illustrating the thorough rebuild process that all Jungheinrich used equipment goes through before starting its second life.
