New range from Jungheinrich
Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Jungheinrich has launched an addition to its range of sit-on reach trucks.
The ETV 318 has a capacity of 1.8 T and can lift a 1 T load up to 11.5 m (37.7 ft.).
The truck comes with a choice of 'configuration packages' allowing each unit to be customised to the user's precise needs before it leaves the factory. For example, if the user's application involves frequent lower level pallet movements with longer travel times between stops, the truck can be set up to offer faster travel speed.
