Powered pallet truck

Jungheinrich has launched a new electric-powered pallet truck. The pedestrian controlled EME 114 is compact and, due to its short (450mm) front section, can be easily manoeuvred, even in tight spaces.

Powered by two maintenance-free, 12V gel batteries, the truck can transport pallets and loads weighing well over 1t. It is capable of travelling at 5km/h and can climb gradients of up to 8% (unladen) or 5% (laden).

In developing the truck, the company's engineers also developed a tailored energy management system. The EME 114 comes with a built-in charger that can be plugged into any 13amp socket as standard.

Apart from an externally visible charge status display and a feature that automatically blocks unintentional start-up, the EME 114's energy management system includes an integrated operating hour meter.

Two support wheels located both sides of the drive wheel make the truck stable, while an ergonomically shaped tiller, which can be operated with both hands, ensures ease of use.
