Today, we solemnly introduce to you the world's largest reach-forklift, the JungheinrichTM ETV-V5150, whose payload has reached an astonishing 15 tons! ! Body weight is also up to 20 tons.
This "giant" is built by Jungheinrich at SANDVIK, a special car modification plant in Lüneburg. Sandvik is the world's leading manufacturer of advanced products. Its advantageous businesses include metal cutting tools, construction and mining equipment, stainless steel, special alloys, metal and ceramic resistance materials, and transmission systems.
The customer's demand is that the equipment can perform the overheaving of goods between the narrow lanes inside the warehouse, and the internal-fired counterweight forklift obviously cannot meet their needs. In addition to this, the "Macro" reach trucks also need to have the ability to transport a variety of widths and cylindrical cargo. Therefore, the Jungheinrich Luneburg refitting factory specially equipped the reach forklift with an adjustable fork, and equipped with a reinforced protective top guard above the cockpit so that it can not only protect the operator. On the other hand, it can also play a balancing role.
Jungheinrich is a world leader in material handling equipment, warehousing and logistics technology. As a supplier of manufacturing-type production internal logistics services and system solutions, Jungheinrich provides customers with a full range of forklifts, shelf systems, services and consulting. Jungheinrich shares are traded on all German stock exchanges.
