Hard Truths Of Warehousing

 

Hard Truth #1:

Production facilities vary; some may consist of only dry storage areas while others may incorporate refrigerated cold storage.

 

Hard Truth #2:

Racking is expensive and can easily be damaged.

  • Lift cylinder arrangements, behind the mast of Jungheinrich's forklifts, and cushioned hydraulics allow the operator to better control the load at all end stops, reducing damage to racking. Jungheinrich's walkie pallet lift trucks also feature controlled lifting and lowering from the tiller through adjustable speed range on the Jungheinrich hydraulic motor. This allows the operator to pick loads accurately and sensitively and makes the depositing of large loads in narrow racking much easier.

 

Hard Truth #3:

Decreased storage space demands maximum flexibility.

  • Jungheinrich high-performance forklift masts maximize space utilization at high lift heights, simplifying lift truck operation. The lift trucks also feature:
    • Excellent visibility towards the load when operating the forklift.
    • Patented mast-reach cushioning, with lift truck travel speed automatically reduced to crawl speed if the load is raised above free-lift height.
    • Low collapsed heights combined with high lift heights achieved without reducing nominal capacity.
    • Extremely long lifespan of the forklift due to high-quality mast profiles.

 

Hard Truth #4:

Multiple shuttles decrease forklift battery life.

  • More goods throughput does not have to mean more power consumption.
  • Jungheinrich's forklifts feature optimized performance efficiency and regenerative braking. We design and manufacture our own AC motors, controllers and related software as an integrated system. The efficiency of an integrated lift truck system means you can move more goods per hour, and get more hours of forklfit operation from one battery charge. In some applications, the forklifts can run up to two shifts on one battery charge - resulting in increased efficiency and productivity.  

Hard Truth #5:

Planning for future internal logistic processes can be timely and difficult.

  • Jungheinrich recognizes that the modern day industry is dependent on the speedy and efficient movement of materials. Innovative engineering, competent consultation and lifelong service allows Jungheinrich to provide you with integrated forklift solutions for your warehousing needs.

 

Hard Truth #6:

Customers are increasingly calling on vendors to aid in their efforts to make their supply chain more environmentally friendly.

  • Jungheinrich is a leading supplier of AC-powered electric lift truck technology throughout the world. The environmental impact is considered throughout the forklift life cycle.
  • “Going Green” with Jungheinrich forklifts means:
    • Reduced (or zero) emissions. (Electric trucks rate a “0” score for FAEL calculations)
    • Reduced forklift fuel consumption.
    • Improved lift truck battery efficiency.
    • Reduced forklift maintenance costs.
    • Reduced lift truck downtime.

 

Hard Truth #7:

Long usage of lift trucks lead to increased downtime and maintenance costs.

  • Despite long usage, Jungheinrich forklifts are still found to be going strong today, delivering dependable operations in many warehouse facilities around the world. This is due to the attention to detail that goes into the design of all of our products. From elastic drive tires and rigid masts, to innovative 3-phase AC technology, our forklifts are designed for long and efficient operational life.

 

Hard Truth #8:

A shunt-wound DC motor is complicated in construction, causing maintenance costs to increase.

  • Jungheinrich’s proprietary 3-phase AC technology is just the solution. Powerful 3-phase AC technology featured in the drive, lift and steering motors of the lift trucks, offers several advantages over traditional DC motor forklifts.

 

Hard Truth #9:

Storage space costs are on the rise, increasing your operating and lifetime expenses.

  • Jungheinrich forklifts set new standards for more efficient operation in very narrow aisles. With features that optimize operator comfort and productivity, Jungheinrich lift trucks offer innovative technologies and the versatility you need to keep operating costs down.
