“We’re honored to have the Jungheinrich EKX 5 series turret truck named as a ‘Product of the Year’ by Plant Engineering magazine,” said Perry Ardito, general manager of warehouse products at Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. “The EKX is included in Jungheinrich’s industry-exclusive ‘2 Shifts / 1 Charge’ guarantee, making it a forklift that is proven to run longer – up to two shifts on one battery charge – and allowing customers to achieve more without stopping to recharge or replace the battery.”
The EKX 514/516k/515 man-up turret trucks have several unique features to help improve productivity, including maintenance-free synchronous AC motors, a feature that raises the standard for higher performance while reducing energy loss up to 10 percent. The EKX can also include Warehouse Navigation, a semi-automated picking system, again exclusive to Jungheinrich.”
