New quiet pallet truck
August 1st 2010 Jungheinrich has launched the EJE
116 electric-powered pallet truck,
which is designed for use at sites
where noise levels need to be kept to
a minimum – such as retail outlets in
residential areas.
The pedestrian controlled truck uses
Silent Drive technology, with noise
reduced to 59 dB(A).
The reduction in noise emissions
has been achieved by a number of
technical modifications to the truck,
including the introduction of a lownoise
pump which automatically
turns off when the desired lifting
height has been achieved and
eliminates the sound that can
sometimes be heard when electricpowered
stackers reach maximum
lift height.
"The Silent Drive option is ideal
for retail outlets in built-up areas
where deliveries are received early in
the morning," says Jungheinrich UK
marketing manager, Craig Johnson.
"It allows supermarkets and other
retailers to be 'good neighbours' by
cutting noise levels when goods
arrive in the early hours." More articles from Jungheinrich UK Ltd: |
