New reach truck range

The ETV 318 comes with a choice of ‘configuration packages’ that allow it to be tailored to each user’s precise needs before it leaves the factory. 

For instance, 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. Alternatively, if the user demands higher mast movements with shorter journeys between picks or pallet put-away, the ETV 318 can be configured with higher mast lifting speeds.

Like other electric-powered Jungheinrich trucks, the ETV 318 has the latest generation AC technology which offers high performance and reduces operating costs.

The ETV 318 also benefits from a fully sealed electronic controller and custom-designed onboard software specifically tailored for forklift truck use.  Because it is bespoke the software helps to increase both truck reliability and energy efficiency still further.

As a further aid to throughput efficiency, the software employed on the ETV 318 can link the truck to the user’s warehouse management system. This enables the ETV 318 to semi automatically raise the forks to the correct height for the operator to perform the pick or pallet put-away operation. So, when linked to a site’s WMS, the ETV 318 becomes, in effect, a semi-automated truck.

To further reduce energy usage – and therefore truck running costs – the ETV 318 has both regenerative braking and regenerative mast lowering features (at high lift heights). Every time operators brake or lower the forks, the ETV 318’s advanced AC technology reclaims the excess energy and uses it to charge the battery.
