Energy efficiency and comfort: Key features of new order pickers
03 August 2015
Jungheinrich has extended its range of ride-on order picking trucks with two new models. The ECE 225 HP and the ECE 225 HP-LJ have a capacity of 2500kg and have been designed with frequent order picking at the second racking level in mind.
Jungheinrich says the new trucks offer improved energy efficiency, with tests highlighting that energy use is reduced by as much as 14% during a typical work cycle.
The ECE 225 HP lifts only the hydraulic lifting stand-on platform to the second racking level – the operator simply activates a foot button on the platform, leaving his or her hands free for order picking.
Meanwhile, the ECE 225 HP-LJ allows the operator to raise both the stand-on platform and the truck’s control unit to the second racking level which makes it possible for the operator to drive the vehicle when the platform is raised.
On both models, the cushioned stand-on platform can be individually set to the operator’s weight – this reduces the amount of vibration felt by the operator during his or her shift.
The trucks’ generous work space and individually adjustable stowing options further improve operator comfort.
A new feature of both models is an integrated Day LED driving light which increases operational safety, particularly in and around dimly lit parts of the warehouse.
As with other trucks in the Jungheinrich range, the new models can be supplied with Curve Control which automatically reduces the speed when cornering. Three different driving programmes, that allow the trucks to be adjusted to various application profiles, are also offered.
