Jungheinrich's new pantograph reach truck

Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group has announced the expansion of its electric warehouse products with a new series of 3,500 - 4,500 lb. (1,500 - 2,000 kg) capacity wide-chassis sit/stand pantograph reach trucks. Designed to meet the extreme demands of warehouse operations, these single- and deep-reach trucks provide superior performance capabilities - which can help increase hourly throughput and lower overall cost of ownership - while keeping operators comfortable and productive. Featuring a hydraulic system that can reach lifting speeds of up to 165 ft. per minute (0.84 m/s) , these reach trucks allow operators to move heavier loads at fast speeds. The industry-exclusive Jungheinrich "2 Shifts, 1 Charge" program guarantees that the new series of reach trucks will run for two full shifts on one battery charge on select models - with no interim charging, no battery changing and no additional charging equipment needed - which can help to improve operational profitability. The spacious operator compartment features a standard fold-down seat , while the operator backrest, steering column and armrest work in unison to provide a natural intuitive feel. Together, these ergonomic designs help to promote a level of productivity that can be just as high in the last hour of the shift as in the first. "We're excited to introduce this new Jungheinrich wide-chassis pantograph reach truck series, which complements our robust line of Class II warehouse products for North America," says John Sneddon, executive vice president, sales and marketing at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. "The new reach trucks are equipped to provide excellent operator comfort and enhanced performance and efficiency for our customers."
