Electric pallet truck takes the dock's knocks December 1st 2008 The ERE 225 electric-powered stand-on
pallet truck from Jungheinrich has been
designed for harsh use in and around
loading docks. Featuring a fixed stand-on
platform and equipped with third
generation AC technology as standard, the
new model was specially developed for fast
and efficient lorry loading and unloading
and for transporting heavy loads over
longer distances. It can achieve top speeds
up to 12.5 km/h
(with load up to 9.5
km/h) and can
transport loads
weighing up to 2,500
kg.
Jungheinrich
marketing manager,
Craig Johnson, says
the ruck has a
number of advanced
features to improve
productivity and
safety.
For example, the new model is fitted with
Curve Control – an advanced safety system
that automatically adjusts the truck's speed
as it enters a corner depending on the
steering angle.
The ERE also features 'ShockProtect' - a
patented system that protects the stand-on
platform against impact. 'ShockProtect'
reduces the strain on the operator's spine
and lessens the impact on the truck's
technical components – and, of course, the
load that is being carried.
The new ERE 225 is also equipped with
electric steering as standard to ensure
precise and effortless steering of the truck,
which, in turn, contributes to fatigue-free
and ergonomically-enhanced operation. More articles from Jungheinrich UK Ltd: |
