Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp. has announced two new series of high-performance counterbalanced lift trucks with capacities ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 lbs. The EFG 213-220 and EFG 316-320 both provide fourth-generation, three-phase AC technology in their drive, hydraulic, and steering systems.

Both series allow the operator to charge and change the battery via simple access from the side of the truck, and provide the convenience of several battery extraction methods, including the use of a hand pallet truck, forklift, or crane.

The 2 Series offers six three-wheel chassis variations, including two compact versions. This series is extremely maneuverable in restricted spaces and works well in outdoor applications. Its AC electric power steering not only leads to greater energy savings, but also renders load handling easier and more precise. The 3 Series offers five 4-wheel chassis variations and is well-suited to applications involving longer runs.
