Making the right forklift investment can significantly reduce operating costs and increase uptime across your facilities. The Jungheinrich® EFG 2 Series electric counterbalanced forklift is engineered for high performance, long‑term durability, and exceptional energy efficiency—making it a standout choice for demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments.

Below are the top six factors to consider when selecting your next electric counterbalanced forklift, and how the Jungheinrich EFG 2 rises above the competition.

1. 100% Longer Planned Maintenance Intervals

One of the biggest cost‑saving advantages of the Jungheinrich EFG 2 Series is its extended 1,000‑hour planned maintenance (PM) intervals—double the industry average of 500 hours.

Benefits:

• 50% less downtime
• Increased productivity
• Lower long‑term maintenance costs
• Reduced service frequency for busy fleets

Fewer PM visits over the life of the truck translate into measurable savings and less disruption to daily operations.

2. Designed for Easy Serviceability

Even with reduced frequency, servicing a forklift still requires efficiency. The EFG 2 Series features a thoughtful, technician‑friendly design with easily accessible components.

This means:

• Faster service turnaround
• Lower labor time on repairs
• More uptime for your operation
• Lower cost of ownership

Designed with maintenance in mind, the EFG 2 keeps your team moving with minimal interruption.

3. Guaranteed to Run 2 Shifts on 1 Battery Charge

Jungheinrich is known for industry‑leading energy efficiency — and the EFG 2 Series delivers on that promise with a 2‑shift guarantee on a single battery charge.

Why this matters:

• Less downtime for battery changes
• Fewer batteries needed per truck
• Reduced battery room footprint
• Higher operator productivity

Battery changes and recharges can take 20–30 minutes each time, slowing workflow. The EFG 2 minimizes these interruptions so your operation can stay on schedule.

4. Energy Efficiency That Pays Off

Energy efficiency isn't just good for sustainability—it directly impacts your bottom line. Jungheinrich’s optimized AC technology and advanced engineering help the EFG 2 outperform traditional competitors in long‑term operating costs.

Estimated fleet savings:

5‑unit fleet

• Annual savings: up to $18,500
• 5‑year savings: up to $64,900

10‑unit fleet

• Annual savings: up to $30,100
• 5‑year savings: up to $122,900

Actual savings vary by application, but the EFG 2 shows consistent long‑term ROI across industries. For a personalized assessment, contact your local Jungheinrich dealer.

5. Greater Warehouse Space Efficiency

Because the EFG 2 Series can operate multiple shifts on a single charge, you may need:

• Fewer spare batteries
• Less storage space
• Smaller charging infrastructure

This frees up valuable square footage for revenue‑generating activities such as inventory storage or throughput expansion.

6. Built for Operator Comfort and Performance

While cost savings and uptime are critical, operator comfort and ergonomics also play an essential role in fleet performance. The Jungheinrich EFG 2 Series features:

• Smooth, precise travel and lift control
• Enhanced visibility
• Ergonomic seating and controls
• Reduced operator fatigue

A comfortable operator is a productive operator—and the EFG 2 supports long shifts with ease.
