The Hamburg-based Jungheinrich group is presenting numerous innovations and product refinements at CeMAT 2014 - from May 19 to 23 in Hanover, Germany - where visitors will find a comprehensive array of logistics systems, stackers and intralogistics services at Pavilion 33/34 and on the open-air site beneath the giant EXPO canopy at the exhibition grounds.
Jungheinrich highlights at CeMAT 2014 include:
Lithium-ion solutions, made by Jungheinrich
New torque converter generation also for the toughest applications
Tow train system for efficient production supply
Expansion of Product Range for Logistics Systems
New product and innovations campaign involving reach trucks
Quantum Leap in Sophisticated Energy Storage Concepts
Jungheinrich is forging ahead in the area of alternative drives and energy storage systems. The Hamburg-based intralogistics specialist is a world leader in implementing and continually refining the lithium-ion technology in its mass-produced industrial trucks. At CeMAT 2014 Jungheinrich's presentation of its new lithium-ion batteries will highlight a quantum leap in energy storage concepts. In addition Jungheinrich will be showcasing a facelift of the world's first mass-produced lithium-ion EJE 112i industrial truck. According to Dr Klaus-Dieter Rosenbach, member of the Jungheinrich Board of Management in charge of Engineering, "this innovation represents a continuation of the Jungheinrich success story in lithium-ion technology, originally launched at CeMAT 2008."
Jungheinrich Introduces New Generation of Torque Converters
Jungheinrich will be unveiling a completely re-designed generation of IC-engine powered forklift trucks to a world audience at CeMAT 2014, the world's leading fair for intralogistics. These trucks consist of the hydrodynamic-drive (torque conversion) DFG/TFG 316-320 and DFG/TFG 425-435 models - new-generation stackers which can handle payloads of up to 3,500 kilograms, with a maximum stacking height of 7.50 metres. Engineered and made in Germany, these general-purpose, reliable and rugged trucks deliver above-average throughput rates while consuming low amounts of energy.
These robust stackers boast high-grade, extremely durable, long-lasting components and are ideally suited for extreme, tough operations in different climate zones. The core components of these new torque converters represent in-house engineering developments from Jungheinrich, including the mast, chassis and steering column.
Complete Tow Train System
Planning a Tow train system requires an intimate familiarity with the relevant intralogistics processes. As an established provider of analyses and optimisation recommendations for intralogistical material flow processes, Jungheinrich has expanded its portfolio to include tow train analysis and advice. Jungheinrich is premiering a complete tow train system to a professional global audience at CeMAT. Apart from comprehensive advice, the new system consists of a new tow tractor (type EZS 580/590) with a towing capacity of up to nine tonnes as well as several new trailers (type GTP and GTE etc.).
Jungheinrich Expands Product Range for Logistics Systems
Jungheinrich is expanding its range of logistics systems products. The new products, "Jungheinrich Lift Racking" (LRK) and "Jungheinrich Paternoster Racking" (PRK), have expanded the Jungheinrich range of dynamic storage and retrieval solutions to include a further intralogistics field for the Hamburg-based firm, thus completing its intralogistics product portfolio.
Jungheinrich Drives Further Refinement of Reach Trucks
The product and innovations campaign involving reach trucks began back at CeMAT 2011 with the launch of the no. 2 series (ETV/ETM 214-216), following the introduction of the new series 3 trucks (via the ETV 318 model) in 2013. The official launch of the ETV/ETM 320-325 model range is taking place at CeMAT 2014. A key characteristic of this new reach truck consists of its substantially lower energy consumption, coupled with a higher throughput rate. "Measurements have indicated that, while consuming 10 percent less energy, the latest generation of trucks can perform up to 10 percent higher than before," explains Joachim Schier, Head of Product Management for Reach Trucks at Jungheinrich.
At CeMAT 2014 Jungheinrich is also presenting its new ETV 110/112 reach truck - the "little brother" of its series 3 trucks. The ETV 110/112 is characterised by its narrow outer width of 1,120 mm and is capable of transporting payloads of up to 1,200 kilograms. The truck's engineering design included a substantial reduction in energy consumption, with a simultaneous increase in performance levels. The introduction of the series 1 trucks - planned for mid-2014 - will complete the design change for an entire family of Jungheinrich reach trucks.
New Compact Mast Results in Substantially Enhanced All-round Visibility
Jungheinrich is presenting an all-new compact mast at CeMAT 2014. This will substantially improve visibility for operators of Jungheinrich counterbalanced stackers. "Thanks to the compact nesting of profiles and optimisation of hose and chain guides, plus two openings in the cross-bar, the driver's field of vision has been expanded by as much as 85% - a top value!" remarks Stefan Pfetsch, Head of Counterbalanced Truck Product and Portfolio Management at Jungheinrich.
New Module for "ISM Online" Fleet Management System
Jungheinrich is presenting its latest version of ISM Online to its professional audience in Hanover. This new fleet management system is capable of managing, analysing and optimising industrial truck fleets, irrespective of their size or complexity. A new feature of ISM Online consists of the Productivity module, which allows the user to analyse and consequently maximise the utilisation of his fleet capacity. Access to the corresponding data takes place via the ISM Online portal in a protected area of the Web, making it possible to call up information from virtually anywhere in the world. ISM Online combines business data with operational and shock data for all the industrial trucks in a fleet.
Trucks Designed for Non-European Growth Markets
Different markets require different features for their industrial trucks, which can lead to variations on established vehicle designs or even completely new designs. The Jungheinrich Design Centre in Houston, Texas, for instance designs warehouse equipment tailored to the requirements of the North American market. And at its production location in Qingpu (in greater Shanghai, China), Jungheinrich develops and produces industrial trucks which conform to the needs of the Asian market.
Jungheinrich is presenting selected vehicles designed for non-European markets at this year's CeMAT. This includes a reach truck from the Jungheinrich Design Centre in Houston. These ETR reach trucks will be available in several different configurations as of mid-year and are destined for the North and South American market as well as the APAC region and the Middle East. A further characteristic of this generation of reach trucks consists of their extremely high residual lifting capacity. The Hamburg-based firm will also be presenting a truck from its Chinese plant in Qingpu - a type EJR 120n battery-powered low platform truck. This truck represents an adaptation of its European "cousin", the EJE 120, to the requirements of the Asian market.
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, logistics systems, services and advice. Jungheinrich shares are traded on all German stock exchanges. |
