Electric Forklifts

How long do the batteries of our electric forklifts last? 

At Jungheinrich, we offer two powerful battery concepts for operating the motors of our electric forklift trucks. Which one you choose depends entirely on the requirements of your business:

• Electric forklifts equipped with our reliable lead-acid batteries offer exceptional endurance – thanks to Jungheinrich's unique 2Shifts1Charge promise in the intralogistics industry. With this technology, our Jungheinrich electric forklifts can complete two shifts in a row without needing a battery change or interim charge. This saves time, energy, and costs.
• Our innovative lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, impress with faster charging times and nearly maintenance-free operation. Plus, Li-ion batteries last up to three times longer than conventional batteries. If you already own a Jungheinrich electric forklift, you can even upgrade it with lithium-ion power upon request.
   

Electric forklifts with lithium-ion technology – your competitive edge

When it comes to lithium-ion technology, Jungheinrich is a leader in innovation. We develop and produce the batteries, chargers, and all corresponding components of our electric forklift trucks ourselves. This ensures that all parts of the system communicate perfectly and deliver full performance. The result: With a Jungheinrich electric forklift powered by lithium-ion batteries, you have the most durable energy source by far.

Lithium-ion forklifts can be used almost continuously: After just about 30 minutes of interim charging, the vehicles already regain up to 50% battery capacity; full charging takes approximately 80 minutes – with no memory effect.

Guaranteed: 100% satisfaction

We are confident that we will convince you. That’s why we guarantee that within six months of delivery, you can easily and quickly switch back to the original technology – no questions asked.

Top performance without compromise

With our Jungheinrich Li-ion Guarantee Plus, we offer you a long-term performance promise of up to 8 years on our high-quality lithium-ion batteries. We know that high performance and long battery life are essential for your success.

Energy-efficient three-phase technology and PureEnergy concept

Our electric forklift trucks are particularly economical, thanks to advanced and low-maintenance three-phase technology for driving and lifting. This enables the electric forklifts to achieve dynamic handling and maximum handling performance, even under heavy loads. Together with the compact control system and the compact hydraulic unit in the PureEnergy concept, an optimal efficiency rate is achieved, so that even with low torque, maximum performance is possible.

At the same time, the electric forklifts operate extremely energy-efficiently: 30% of the energy is fed back into the battery through regenerative braking. With this extra energy, our electric forklifts can accomplish even more work on a single battery charge.

Electric forklift trucks – agile and powerful

With our agile electric forklift trucks, you can maximise your throughput performance in narrow-aisle warehouses. 3-phase AC motors combine impressive performance with minimal consumption. You also have the choice between innovative Lithium-ion technology or tried-and-tested lead-acid batteries.

Our agile electric forklift trucks shine in warehouses offering little room to manoeuvre. Thanks to their small and compact design, these trucks can easily navigate even the narrowest of aisles. The trucks are most at home on level indoor floors, but can also handle outdoor applications with ease. As a further benefit, the mast of the electric forklift trucks is ideal for both racking and stacking and can reach lift heights ranging from 2300 to 7500 millimetres. The capacity of the trucks is up to five tons. In daily use, your drivers will enjoy the many benefits offered by our electric forklifts, including extra seat comfort, a perfect all-round view and comprehensive assistance systems to protect the operator, load and warehouse.

Electric forklift trucks with energy-efficient three-phase technology and PureEnergy concept.

Our electric forklift trucks are exceptionally economical, as they function with progressive low-maintenance three-phase lift and drive technology. This gives electric forklifts dynamic handling and maximum performance – even under heavy loads. The compact controller and hydraulic power unit work with the PureEnergy concept to deliver optimum efficiency, enabling high performance even at low torque. Electric forklift trucks are also highly energy-efficient: regenerative braking feeds 30 per cent of the energy back into the battery. Our electric counterbalance forklifts use the extra energy to do even more with one load.

Electric forklift trucks with two powerful battery concepts.

Choosing the right battery for your electric forklift truck depends on your unique requirements. Our pioneering lithium-ion technology offers rapid charging times and requires virtually zero maintenance. In addition, Jungheinrich’s lithium-ion batteries last up to three times longer than conventional batteries. If you already operate one of our electric forklift trucks, it can be easily upgraded to benefit from lithium-ion power.

Our tried-and-tested lead-acid batteries, on the other hand, are all about stamina. With these batteries, you benefit from our 2Shifts1Charge guarantee, which is unrivalled in the logistics sector. Our electric counterbalance trucks can complete two consecutive shifts without the need for battery replacement or top-up charging. This saves you time and energy and reduces running costs.
