500 Kombi's sold in six months
December 1st 2007 Jungheinrich has sold over
500 of its Kombi EKX 5
Series order picker/stackers
globally since launching six
months ago.
The series uses RFID to
enhance performance and
safety. Transponders set in
the floor automatically
adjust the truck's speed as it
travels around the
warehouse or distribution
centre and can be set to
ensure that, for example,
the truck automatically
slows down when it reaches
the end of an aisle and
reduces speed in poor
quality floor areas or when
carrying sensitive goods.
"We launched the EKX at
LogiMAT in February of this
year and the response has
been overwhelming," says
UK sales and marketing
manager, Craig Johnson.
A recent open day at
Jungheinrich's Warrington
facility saw 50 local clients
assess the EKX Series 5 for
themselves. "The reaction
was positive – we expect UK
demand for the new Kombi
to help break the 1,000
truck barrier very soon." More articles from Chemstore Engineering: |
