Forklift Truck
Electric Pallet Stacker
Jungheinrich ERD 220i
Flowing processes
Since smooth processes are the linchpin of work in logistics centres, the material handling equipment for transporting goods and products must be optimally adapted to the task. The design of the Jungheinrich ERD 220i queried the shape and functionality of pallet stackers with the aim of reinterpreting this type of truck. The result is a highly functional and effective double deck pallet stacker that allows operators to work in a decidedly relaxed manner. As part of a new, innovative truck series, it is equipped with a fully integrated lithium-ion battery. This design allows for a particularly compact layout, which offers great advantages for the work at hand, which often has to be done very quickly. Moreover, the truck is also highly manoeuvrable, enabling a higher throughput of goods and products, especially in confined warehouse environments. The new design includes a softly suspended stand-on platform that protects the driver from three sides. The entire drive is also suspended, which promotes relief on the driver’s spine and makes the frame and the technical components subject to significantly less stress. Furthermore, the perfectly thought-out ergonomics of this double deck pallet stacker also comprise electric steering for fatigue-free driving even with heavy loads. When going around bends, the truck’s maximum speed is automatically reduced depending on the steering angle.
Statement by the Jury
With its compact design, balanced lines and the innovation of a fully integrated lithium-ion battery, this pallet truck sets new standards. As a result of a well-thought-out concept, it offers enhanced efficiency and ergonomics that are coherently adapted to the work environment. The truck is very manoeuvrable and allows the driver to operate without fatigue. Operators can thus concentrate well on their work.
