| New Jungheinrich IC engine truck  Jungheinrich launched a new IC engine counterbalance truck. The DFG/TFG 316-320 is a Diesel and LPG truck with hydrodynamic drive. This ensures efficient and dynamic power transmission. The truck with converter gears stands for high throughput efficiency, particularly over medium and long distances. The DFG/TFG 316-320 can pick up loads from 1,600 to 2,000 kg. The truck's strengths, among others, are its drive technology. Large industrial motors specially designed for use in forklift trucks guarantee a high torque already at low rpm. This ensures low fuel consumption barely achieved by any other truck in its class and a significantly reduced noise level.A smooth, jerk-free start is just as much part of the new IC engine truck as is its extremely good efficiency ratio at medium and high speeds. First-rate reliability and long service life of the DFG/TFG 316-320 can be taken for granted, even in the hardest applications. The motors of the new Diesel and LPG truck from Jungheinrich with low exhaust emission comply with all essential EU regulations. A computer-controlled 3-way catalytic converter for the LPG truck and various soot filter systems for the Diesel truck are optionally available. The latter can also be utilised inside without any problem. The tilt stability as well as dynamic travel safety on tight corners far exceed legally required limits. The stability program that runs completely without electronics includes a long wheelbase, a large track width and a high mounted steering axle. The excellent stability rates of the DFG/TFG 316-320 are based on a very low centre of gravity: A flat counterweight and a low combined centre of gravity between both axles. The best precondition for high performance over the entire shift is the DFG/TFG 316-320 ergonomically designed, very spacious workplace, tailor-made for the operator. Large steps visible from above facilitate comfortable and safe mounting and dismounting. Vibrations and noise are considerably reduced by the pendulous drive unit run on bearings. Top quality comfort seats with fast weight adjustment not only supply the necessary comfort, they also ensure ergonomic posture. During a change of operator, the seat can be adjusted to the new operator quickly and effortlessly. Hydraulic levers are appropriately arranged on the right next to the operator seat. Travel direction change is integrated in these levers, so that reaching round during travel direction change is no longer necessary. Due to panorama masts with cylinders arranged at the back and clear-view fork carriages, the operator has excellent visibility towards load and travel route. The instrument panel with analogue display and extensive warning and control lights is clearly arranged, so that the operator has all information in view at any time. The IC engine truck has requirement-controlled hydraulic steering. This enables the operator to steer effortlessly and precisely without steering return kick. There are only 4.25 turns from lock to lock. Two independent braking systems activated on the front wheels also ensure safe braking. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
