Vertical order picker packs a bigger punch

Having a maximum platform height of 3m, the truck supports picking heights of up to 4.6m, making it suitable for order picking at up to three levels of racking.

The new 3.2kW drive is said to deliver higher speeds and about 5% greater acceleration. With the optional Drive+ package drivers can even move up a gear, and enjoy dynamic acceleration and speeds to 13km/h – getting them to the next picking location even faster, thanks to Jungheinrich’s Curve Control assist system that ensures safe cornering.

Energy efficient three-phase AC technology and high battery capacity offer long operating times, and for multi-shift operation the EKS 110 now also runs on lithium-ion batteries rated at 240 and 360 ampere hours. The fast charging time achieved with this battery technology means it takes only 30 minutes to reach a 50% charge, and 80 minutes for a 100% charge. For light and medium-duty operations over one or two shifts, Jungheinrich recommends 375, 465 and 620 ampere hour lead-acid batteries and gives a warranty for two-shift operation without battery replacement; if a battery does not last for two full shifts, Jungheinrich will add a second battery for free.
