Jungheinrich has launched a new brand, AntOn by Jungheinrich, an entry-level range of materials handling equipment, as part of a strategic portfolio expansion.

The AntOn by Jungheinrich product line is being developed under a partnership between Jungheinrich and EP Equipment, announced in May 2025. 

The European launch of the new brand kicked off at the end of September with the CBH 2.5 and 3.0 electric forklifts and the PTL 1.5 pallet truck.

The vehicles will be available in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American markets from November.

Jungheinrich states the CHB 2.5 and 3.0 forklifts can handle a nominal load capacity of 2.5T and 3T respectively. They can move at speeds of up to 17 km/h and have a lifting height of up to 4,800 mm.

With high ground clearance and large tyres, they are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

The PTL 1.5 is a compact pallet truck with a nominal load capacity of 1.5T and dimensions measuring 1,550 x 560 x 1,230 mm. Optional extras include stabilisers for uneven surfaces and a replacement battery for longer operating times. 

Jungheinrich says the forklifts and pallet truck are equipped with lithium-ion technology, facilitating shorter charging times, longer service life and reduced maintenance.

Nadine Despineux, member of the board of management, sales at Jungheinrich, says the new line is being specifically marketed to “companies that are looking for cost-effective and straightforward solutions for typical warehouse and transport requirements”.
