Jungheinrich UK recently held an open day in Warrington to showcase its latest warehouse trucks, including the EFG 2 and 3 series electric counterbalanced forklifts. Despite the rise of automation, traditional forklifts remain in high demand, particularly among retail warehouses and logistics operators, with a notable shift towards electric models powered by lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries.
The emphasis on safety and energy efficiency is paramount, as highlighted by UKMHA’s Rob Fisher, who noted the significant number of forklift-related injuries each year. Jungheinrich's new models feature advanced ergonomic designs and safety technologies, including automatic fork leveling and pedestrian detection systems, aimed at reducing accidents and enhancing operator comfort.
Jungheinrich is also focusing on energy management, with Luke Gardner leading a new energy department to assist customers in optimizing power usage for materials handling equipment. This includes analyzing electricity demand and integrating charging solutions that align with operational needs. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
