Two shifts on one charge

With a payload capacity of 1.6 tonnes and a lift height of 18 metres, the new model offers maximum versatility for order picking and stacking operations.
The truck is equipped with state-of-the-art control technology, completely new motor technology and an efficient energy management system. Its intelligent design makes use of high-strength steels, resulting in a weight reduction of 150 kilograms.
“This means we can guarantee the efficient and economical operation of the stacker over two shifts with a single battery charge,” says Steve Richmond, director ofJungheinrich’s Systems & Projects Division.
The new Kombi Stacker eliminates the need for extra batteries on a two-shift operation and cuts down on requirements for charging stations and extra manpower.
Richmond continues: “This is no idle promise. If a battery fails to hold a charge for two full shifts, Jungheinrich will replace it free of charge.”
New motor technology developed by Jungheinrich is at the heart of the EKX 514-516. For the first time the high performance and energy efficiency of a synchronous motor has been combined with the low maintenance and cost advantages of a three-phase AC motor.
The new motor technology converts around 93 per cent of the energy consumed into actual output, cutting energy losses by half.
The new EKX 514-516 is fitted with a number of different modules for process integration, including RFID technology, height and distance measurement and the Jungheinrich Logistics Interface.
