Jungheinrich has launched a completely re-designed generation of IC-engine powered counterbalanced fork lift trucks in capacities up to 3.5 tonnes and with lift height of 7.5 metres.

The new 'Torque Converter' hydrodynamic drive trucks have been engineered in such a way that allows maximum cost-efficiency to be achieved in the manufacturing process.  Despite their competitive price, the trucks are built to the same high standards as all models across the Junheinrich range and feature the same components associated with the brand.

In developing the new range, Jungheinrich's engineers have made significant innovations to the trucks' mast, chassis and steering axle.  For example, the counterweight on the new trucks is an integral part of the load-bearing chassis, while the steering axle has been integrated into the counterweight.  This means that the truck's centre of gravity is extremely low which ensures outstanding stability without the need for additional and costly electronic stability systems.

"These new 'Torque Converter' trucks are rugged machines.  Our engineers have driven costs out of the manufacturing process and produced a range that is tough and easy to service, while offering best-in-class operator conditions," said Jungheinrich UK Ltd's Sales Director, Jonathan Morris.

The diesel and LPG fork lifts feature hydrodynamic drive - or 'Torque Converter' technology - to ensure robust operations in all applications.
