SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Jungheinrich Lift Truck (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. announces that apart from the standard version, hand pallet trucks from Jungheinrich are now available in many different designs, such as noise-suppressed, dismountable and in stainless steel or semi-stainless steel versions.

The Jungheinrich hand pallet truck AM 2200 is used wherever transporting over short distances has to be carried out manually. The truck effortlessly transports loads up to 2,200 kg. Due to the ergonomic design of the operating element, the truck can be handled by both right-handed and left-handed operators. Manoeuvring with one hand on the tiller head is safe and comfortable.
The optional fast lift will raise pallets up to 120 kg off the floor with only three pump strokes. Due to its narrow front dimension, the AM 2200 from Jungheinrich is very manoeuvrable -- even in the most confined spaces.
50 percent noise reduction with Jungheinrich hand pallet trucks
Apart from the standard version, the hand pallet trucks from Jungheinrich are also available in a noise-suppressed variant. “Food shops or drinks markets in residential areas in particular like to use these trucks,” explains Sebastian Huther, Hand Pallet Truck Product Manager at Jungheinrich. Longer opening times in the retail trade, changed consumer behaviour and excessive traffic have resulted in new demands being made on delivering to shops and stores. Huther said, “Driving over cobblestones with conventional trucks presents noise pollution that cannot be underrated in residential areas!” Dependent on the surface and its loading, the AM 2200 can reduce noise up to 50%.
“Low noise development during the transport of goods in shops also has an increasingly positive effect on customer satisfaction,” Huther continues. Among other things, noise suppression on the AM 2200 was achieved with additional bearing bushes, low-noise wheels and special insulating mats.
Dismountable hand pallet trucks for transport in cars
The new concept of the Jungheinrich hand pallet truck AM 20t opens up new opportunities regarding mobility and flexibility. In seconds, the AM 20t is dismantled into two parts. The individual components of approximately 30 kg each can be carried easily by one person and stowed away in a transporter or larger car. Special handles make it easier to carry the dismounted hand pallet truck.
The truck has all main characteristics of a conventional hand pallet truck from Jungheinrich: Just like its not dismountable “brother”, it has chromated bearing bushes on wheels and joints ensuring a particularly long service life, as these joints no longer require greasing.
Jungheinrich ranks among the world’s leading companies in the material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow engineering sectors. The company is a logistics service provider with manufacturing operations, which offers its customers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks, shelving systems and services covering the entire field of intralogistics. J ungheinrich shares are traded on all German stock exchanges.
