Jungheinrich launches gross sales of the brand new EFG 2/2i and EFG 3/3i electrical counterbalanced forklifts. Shoppers are in a position to reserve the utterly redesigned successor fashions since 15 July 2026. The brand new sequence mix most compactness with in moderation graded functionality and a excessive point of operator convenience – for environment friendly and high-performance subject material dealing with within the 48-volt phase as much as a load capability of two.0 tonnes.
With the EFG 2/2i and three/3i sequence, Jungheinrich is launching a brand new era of electrical counterbalanced forklift vans within the extremely sought-after load capability category of as much as 2 tonnes. Evolved at the foundation of shopper comments from over 170,000 automobiles bought, the fashions are geared toward customers who need to see excessive productiveness, protection and future-proofing blended in a compact car design.
The EFG 2/2i sequence gives specifically manoeuvrable three-wheel forklifts with load capacities starting from 1.4 to two.0 tonnes, while the EFG 3/3i sequence, comprising four-wheel forklifts, covers the 1.6 to two.0-tonne vary. “With those new sequence, we now have evolved vans which might be constantly adapted to the real-world necessities of the warehouse – from compactness and ergonomics all through to functionality,” says Marek Scheithauer, International Portfolio Lead for Counterbalance Mild Vehicles at Jungheinrich.
Highest-in-class compactness for cost-effective warehouse processes
A key building purpose was once to allow consumers to utilise their present warehouse area much more successfully. Due to the built-in lithium-ion battery, optimised steerage axle geometry and constantly compact design, the brand new EFG 2/3i achieves as much as 15 consistent with cent higher area potency.
When compared with the former sequence, the turning circle has been lowered by way of as much as 300 millimetres, relying at the fashion. This permits secure and environment friendly operation in slender aisles, on lorry loading spaces or in confined manufacturing spaces, and decreases area prices.
3 functionality variants and a modular power idea
With efficiencyPLUS, power&liftPLUS and performancePLUS, Jungheinrich gives 3 obviously differentiated functionality ranges – starting from the entry-level variant for average dealing with capacities, thru a balanced all-round variant, to essentially the most tough configuration for max productiveness.
Within the performancePLUS variant, designed for tough programs and fast items dealing with, permanent-magnet synchronous motors and optimised hydraulics – blended with advanced power potency – be sure considerably upper dealing with functionality.
The EFG 2/2i & 3/3i sequence are in accordance with a modular power idea. Built-in lithium-ion batteries, exactly adapted to the respective buyer necessities and to be had in more than a few capacities (346, 460 and 690 Ah), are an choice, as is the usage of lead-acid batteries or preparation for operation with a gas cellular.
Ergonomics and acoustics for fatigue-free running
The brand new sequence has been evolved with the motive force’s point of view firmly in thoughts. An enlarged footwell with round 100 millimetres of extra legroom, a decrease access peak and an ergonomically optimised steerage column cut back bodily pressure.
A comprehensively revised acoustic and vibration idea, that includes a vibration-decoupled cab, guarantees noise ranges of simply 63 dB(A). The brand new HMI, with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and redesigned controls, helps intuitive, logical operation and contributes to specific, fatigue-free running.
Higher protection thru advanced visibility
A key protection characteristic is the newly designed, angled B-pillar. It reduces the blind spot when reversing by way of as much as 65 consistent with cent, an important protection development: statistics display that almost all of all injuries involving commercial vans happen while reversing.
A low dashboard house and the not obligatory panoramic roof additional enhance visibility of the forks, load and rack ranges, specifically when running at higher elevate heights. As well as, quite a lot of configurable help programs is to be had, together with camera-based answers such because the AI-supported addedVIEW individual detection machine or the zone-based collision coverage machine zoneCONTROL.
The optionally to be had SmartStripe LED gentle strip will increase the truck’s visibility thru transparent braking, direction-of-travel and caution alerts; it additionally shows the present battery rate standing, even from a distance. To hit upon issues early and steer clear of unplanned downtime, the electrical forklift vans are networked as usual and supply treasured operational information in genuine time. Due to virtual carrier, predictive repairs and far off diagnostics, fleets stay in operation for longer – with shorter restore instances and decrease prices.
“The brand new EFG 2/2i and three/3i sequence mix measurable productiveness advantages with excessive funding safety and future-proofing. On this approach, we assist our consumers to organise their inside processes successfully as of late while making sure they’re provided to satisfy day after today’s necessities,” says Marek Scheithauer.
At release, the power&liftPLUS variant will first of all be to be had to reserve; efficiencyPLUS and performancePLUS will enlarge the variety in 2027.
