Technical Description

The Jungheinrich DFG 545 is a robust diesel-powered forklift designed for demanding industrial applications, offering a load capacity of 9,920.9 lbs (4,500 kg) and a maximum fork height of 11.5 ft (3.5 m). The forklift features a hydrostatic drive system with electronic controls that enable precise acceleration, rapid directional changes, and smooth, wear-free operation. Its design incorporates intelligent electronics with splash-proof (IP64) CAN-Bus technology for drive and hydraulic management, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance. The engine is a state-of-the-art diesel model sourced from the automotive industry, optimized for efficiency, with electronic ignition and sensitive hydraulic function adjustment for enhanced operability. Dimensionally, the DFG 545 measures 9.9 ft (3.0 m) in length to fork face, 4.8 ft (1.46 m) overall width, and 7.8 ft (2.38 m) height to the top of the overhead guard, with an operating weight of approximately 14,702.7 lbs (6,670 kg). It features a ground clearance of 9.1 in (230 mm) and a turning radius of 8.8 ft (2.68 m), facilitating maneuverability in confined spaces. The mast allows tilting forward by 7 degrees and backward by 6 degrees, contributing to load stability during handling. The truck runs on pneumatic tires, suitable for outdoor and uneven terrain operations. Additional technological highlights include five selectable operating programs for optimized performance across various tasks, hydrostatic steering for effortless precision, automatic speed reduction when cornering, and safety systems such as operation control linked to seat occupancy and seatbelt engagement. Hydraulic components integrate damping to improve safety and load handling stability.
