 The AM 2200 |

The latest offering from Jungheinrich offers some noise relief and greater mobility options for hand pallet truck operators.
The AM 2200 can be customised to suit most businesses’ needs because it is available in different designs. This machine offers various versions including a tough design in stainless steel or semi stainless steel, a reduction in noise, or a machine that is easy to dismantle.
The noise reduction version is designed to meet the growing demand for low-noise options for materials handling equipment. This model is ideal for after-hours deliveries and can reduce noise by up to 50%.
Sebastian Huther, hand pallet truck manager for Jungheinrich, says shops in residential areas would benefit from this machine.
Noise suppression is achieved by the use of additional bearing brushes, low-noise wheels and special insulating mats.
The other version of the AM 2200, the AM20t, can be dismantled into two parts so it can be loaded into a car. Each component weighs 30 kilograms and can be carried by one person.
The AM 2200 – suitable for right or left-handed operators – can be used over short distances and can carry loads up to 2,200 kilograms (4,850 pounds).
 The TPC-AR |
Meanwhile, A new electronic hand pallet launched by Icem is a powerful, compact and fast machine with an inbuilt system to reduce rolling.
The TPC-AR has a new three-phase, AC-inverter motor system which ensures smooth and gradual acceleration. It can travel up to 8.5 kilometres per hour with easily adjustable controls on the console and can do 360 degree manoeuvres.
The electromagnetic brakes can be adjusted and adapted to different environments. The brake can also be used in an electronic regenerative braking system.
Equipped with a wear-resistant folding platform for the operator and side guards, the TPC-AR’s strong side wheels provide stability at high speeds or during sudden direction changes.
The reduced size makes the TPC-AR suitable to work even in narrow spaces.
Like other Icem machines, this version can be customised with specific solutions such as forks and platforms of any size, cold room guards, extension and fork expanders and weighing kits.
