JUNGHEINRICH EFG 318 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Jungheinrich EFG 318 is a four-wheel electric forklift truck engineered for efficient warehouse and industrial material handling operations. This compact unit features a nominal load capacity of 1,800 kg (3,968 lbs) and operates on advanced 3-phase AC technology, delivering superior energy efficiency compared to competitor models—consuming up to 15% less energy during standard operations. The forklift maintains a total width of 1,120 mm (3.7 ft), making it highly maneuverable in space-constrained environments, with an overall height of 2,067 mm (6.8 ft) when the mast is lowered. It achieves a maximum fork height of approximately 3.0 meters (9.85 ft) and a turning radius of 2.03 meters (6.67 ft). Equipped with pneumatic tires and featuring a travel speed of 17 km/h (10.7 mph) in both laden and unladen conditions, the EFG 318 delivers consistent performance across varied operational scenarios. The lift speed operates at 0.49 m/s when laden and 0.6 m/s when unladen, enabling smooth load handling. Key performance features include Curve Control technology that automatically reduces travel speed during cornering to prevent load shifts and tipping incidents. The forklift incorporates regenerative braking, which recovers energy during deceleration and extends operating time per battery charge, often enabling up to two shifts on a single charge. Its electronic hydraulic controls are available in SOLO-PILOT or MULTI-PILOT configurations, offering operators customizable performance settings. Additional safety features include an overhead guard, wheel stops preventing roll-back on inclines, and multiple warning light options. The unit's sealed electrical components provide protection against dust and debris ingress, minimizing maintenance requirements and ensuring reliable long-term performance in demanding warehouse environments.
