Basic characteristics

More characteristics

Our Series 2 electric fork lift trucks with capacities up to 2000 kg are the cost-effective solution for all applications where maximum manoeuvrability is required on level surfaces in cramped conditions. Thanks to our Pure Energy technology concept, the three-wheel trucks with a twin wheel and 5th wheel steering for 180° rotation on the spot achieve the best possible energy and cost efficiency coupled with maximum performance.

Consumption is significantly reduced by using the most advanced 3-phase AC technology as well as the compact hydraulic unit – while throughput is simultaneously increased. This is verified by VDI cycle tests: At maximum throughput, our new EFG Series 2 consumes up to 15% less energy than comparable competitor models.
Application-oriented work programs with variable travel/lift speeds will handle all of your transport and stacking operations with optimum energy efficiency. The infinitely adjustable steering column and armrest as well as the single-point adjustment via two adjustable axes facilitate the individual adjustment of the operator position as well as the controls.
Changing the battery is as simple as refuelling: Three different battery changing options make this easy for any user – even during three-shift operations. In addition, the new compact mast noticeably expands the operator’s field of vision, offering the best visibility available on the market. Important features contributing to the enhanced visibility include compact profile nesting and an optimised chain and hose guide as well as two viewing windows in the cross member.

Thanks to their robust design and future-oriented technology, our Series 2 EFG offer the best prerequisites for cost-effective applications both indoors and outdoors.

Advantages in detail

Pure Energy

Our Pure Energy technology concept enables us to achieve the best possible energy efficiency coupled with maximum performance:

  • Most advanced three-phase AC technology.
  • Compact electronic controller.
  • Compact hydraulic unit.
  • Application-oriented control of the hydraulics/motors.

Comfortable workstation

The ergonomically designed operator’s cab allows for relaxed operation with low fatigue, even during long shifts:

  • Light and effortless electric steering due to reduced steering effort, fewer turns of the steering wheel and a smaller steering wheel.
  • Reduced steering noise and more legroom due to elimination of hydraulic components in the foot-well.
  • Height/tilt-adjustable steering column.
  • Particularly comfortable operation thanks to integration of all main controls into the armrest which moves with the operator.
  • Limited vibration as the cab is not directly connected to the chassis (Floating Cab).
  • Clear visibility of the load thanks to an optimised chain as well as hose layout.
  • Compact nested mast profile with outstanding visibility.
  • High-resolution, contrast-rich full colour TFT display with self-explanatory symbols.
  • USB port for external power supply (optional).

Ergonomic and easily adjustable operating concept

  • A choice of five changeable travel programs.
  • Stepless single-point adjustment of the armrest and steering column in two axes.
  • Adjustable lever and axis assignment of the controls.
  • Single or double pedal operation.
  • Activation of the truck by EasyAccess via softkey, PIN code or transponder card (optional).

Professional battery management

Lateral battery access:

  • Various battery changing options using pedestrian pallet trucks, fork lifts or cranes.
  • Simple, space-saving charging via side door.
  • Easy access for maintenance.
  • Safe operation.

Maintenance-free braking system

Three maintenance-free braking systems make braking safe and comfortable:

  • Motor brake for wear-free regenerative braking.
  • Automatically engaging parking brake for secure stopping, even on ramps.
  • Maintenance-free disc brake for maximum braking.

Safety systems

Outstanding travel dynamics and performance levels also require a high level of safety.
That is why the EFG Series 2 includes a comprehensive range of safety equipment:

  • Deactivation of the hydraulic functions if seat is unoccupied.
  • No roll-back on ramps or inclines due to the automatic parking brake, even when the truck is switched off.
  • Automatic reduction of the travel speed when cornering with Jungheinrich Curve Control.
  • Speedometer.


A range of optional operator assistance systems (optional) provides additional safety for the operator, truck and load:

  • Access Control: The access control system only unlocks the truck after a sequence of safety checks.
  • Drive Control: The speed control which automatically reduces the speed of travel when cornering and from a defined lift height.
  • Lift Control: The lift speed control which, in addition to the travel speed reduction, also automatically reduces the tilt speed of the mast from a defined lift height. The tilt angle is shown on a separate display.
