Jungheinrich highlights AGV high-rack stacker

During a Tuesday press conference, Jungheinrich (Booth S1918) discussed its EKX 516ka/516a, an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) high-rack stacker, as well as other models.

Capable of lifting 3,500 pounds, the compact AGV high-rack stacker has been designed for very narrow aisle operations, featuring 180-degree swiveling forks. It can maneuver in aisles as narrow as 68 inches. Able to lift items up to 511 inches high, it’s particularly ideal for high-density storage.

Energy efficient, the stacker requires less maintenance than other very-narrow-aisle turret trucks on the market, leading to low operating costs. In addition, it features a maintenance-free 80-volt drive system and a synchronous reluctance motor.

Environmentally friendly, the stacker has an electric powertrain that’s quiet and offers emission-free operation.

“We are committed to offering products designed for the next generation that run longer, move more and reduce unnecessary costs,” said John Sneddon, EVP, sales and marketing at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. “And ProMat 2023 is the perfect opportunity to help attendees find new solutions to meet their demands.”
