Forklift manufacturer Jungheinrich have launched a new electric-powered pallet truck.

The pedestrian controlled EME 114 is extremely compact (450mm front section)  so can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

It is powered by two maintenance-free, 12 volt gel batteries and can transport pallets and loads weighing well over a tonne. It is capable of travelling at five km/h and can climb gradients of up to eight percent unladen or five percent laden.

In developing the new truck, Jungheinrich’s engineers also developed a tailored energy management system. The EME 114 comes with a built-in charger that can be plugged into any 13amp socket as standard.
