Moving mast reach trucks

Lift truck maker Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America (MCFA) has introduced the new Jungheinrich ETV/ETM 214/216 series of sit-down moving mast reach trucks. The ETV/ETM 2 series trucks are suitable for both narrow-aisle and high-rack applications that require rapid maneuverability in confined work areas.

Increased maximum lift heights (up to 35 feet) and increased rated capacities (over 27 feet) allow operators to perform efficiently in more difficult high-rack applications. The Curve Control feature, which provides automatic speed reduction during cornering, provides enhanced security for both the product and operator, especially in confined areas.

Equipped with Jungheinrich's powerful fourth-generation AC technology for drive, lift, and steering motors, the reach truck has the ability to operate up to two shifts on one battery charge in many applications. Optional regenerative lowering can also provide longer run times on one battery charge, especially in high-lift applications.

Designed with operator comfort in mind, the new moving mast reach trucks feature a spacious operator compartment and wider armrest. An ergonomically positioned cup holder and clipboard slot provide added operator convenience. The new mast design also allows for enhanced visibility through and around the mast.

The newly introduced Class 2 reach trucks can also be equipped with various options to improve overall reach truck performance, including the Drive Plus and Lift Plus options, which increase drive speeds by nearly 2 mph and loaded lift speeds by more than 30 fpm. Others include the lift control option, which provides increased tilt and reach speeds depending on specific lift heights and load weights, and the operation control option, which provides a warning sound and an icon that indicates when the operator has reached maximum capacity at a particular lift height.
