Description

With the new operating concept for the Jungheinrich EFG S30s, Jungheinrich has introduced a completely reworked workstation to the market.
The working title ‘Operator in mind’ expresses the focus of the project very well. The focus was on the development of a standard, operator-oriented and intuitive workstation.
Constituent parts include the completely reworked armrest and a new operator dialogue system with a new control panel, colour display, USB port and the option to install hardware and software applications.
Associated with this improved specification is, once again, a noticeable improvement in the energy efficiency of the truck. Jungheinrich is the only manufacturer in the market environment to ensure two-shift operation on one battery charge. The foundation for this is the series-wide ‘Pure Energy’ technology concept.
In addition, Jungheinrich is introducing a completely new generation of masts with this specification improvement. One of the key characteristics of the new compact mast is its outstanding visibility which has been improved by up to 85 percent in comparison with the previous version.

Innovations

Two-shift operation on one battery charge:
The experiences of the market launch and the initial feedback on the new Series 5 electric fork lift truck confirmed the idea of two-shift operation on one battery charge. By adjusting the truck software, it has been possible to make further progress in energy efficiency. This has made the desire for two-shift operation on one battery charge a reality. Jungheinrich guarantees its customers two-shift operation on one battery charge for the entire electric fork lift truck portfolio – and therefore also the EFG S30s.
Protection of employees:
Another primary goal of the project was the adaptation of the workstation to changing market conditions regarding operator requirements. The result is high demands on ergonomics, comfort and reliability. The development of the new workstation and operating concept as well as the new mast have ensured that this requirement has been taken into account.
Creating innovative solutions for future-oriented products:
The main focus of this project was the development of a flexible and adaptive product capable of reacting to trends and future market requirements or acting proactively in the market. The trend towards assistance systems and electronic aids is also gaining importance in the area of capital goods. The aim of an open and flexible system is to make it possible to quickly and simply introduce innovative solutions into the trucks.

Market relevance

The main benefits for the user are cost-effectiveness, ergonomics, reliability and security of investment thanks to flexibility.
Improving the specification of the Jungheinrich EFG S30s has set new standards with respect to energy efficiency. By avoiding changing batteries during two-shift operation, this results in a very low ‘Total Cost of Ownership’.
Improved ergonomics – sustainability for employee and employer:
The employee, who is in the truck for 6-8 hours a day, must be able to react quickly and safely to new situations at any time. This is only possible with optimum ergonomics which guarantee intuitive operation.
Irrespective of this, more and more employers are focusing on the consequences and resulting costs of poor work environments. The improved ergonomics and intuitive operation of the truck enable these circumstances to be proactively reduced and the consequences sustainably improved or minimised.
Safety and flexibility:
The implementation of the operator dialogue system enables the operator to equip the truck according to its individual criteria. The focus here is on the activation and deactivation of application-specific assistance systems which offer the operator support in every situation. Consequently, the truck is equipped for maximum safety. The benefit of this safety is that it can be used differently from operator to operator and can be adjusted to their own personal needs.

Customer benefits

Die Hauptvorteile für den Nutzer sind Wirtschaftlichkeit, Ergonomie, Sicherheit und Investitionssicherheit durch Flexibilität.
Die Modellpflege des Jungheinrich EFG S30s setzt neue Maßstäbe in puncto Energieeffizienz. Dieses führt durch die Vermeidung des Batteriewechsels im Zweischichtbetrieb zu sehr niedrigen „Total Cost of Ownership“.
Verbesserte Ergonomie – Nachhaltigkeit für Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber:
Der Mitarbeiter, der sich täglich 6-8 Stunden in dem Fahrzeug befindet, muss jederzeit schnell und sicher auf neue Situationen reagieren können. Das ist nur auf Basis einer optimal gestalteten Ergonomie möglich, die intuitives Bedienen gewährleistet. Unabhängig davon rücken für immer mehr Arbeitgeber die Spätfolgen und Folgekosten von falschen Arbeitsumgebungen in den Fokus. Durch die verbesserte Ergonomie und intuitive Bedienung des Fahrzeuges können diese Umstände proaktiv vermindert und die Folgen nachhaltig verbessert bzw. minimiert werden.
Sicherheit und Flexibilität:
Die Implementierung des Fahrerdialogsystems ermöglicht dem Bediener, das Fahrzeug nach seinen individuellen Kriterien auszustatten. Der Fokus dabei liegt auf der Aktivierung und Deaktivierung von einsatzspezifischen Assistenzsystemen, die den Fahrer in jeder Situation unterstützen. Somit ist das Fahrzeug für ein Höchstmaß an Sicherheit ausgelegt. Der Vorteil an dieser Sicherheit ist, dass sie von Fahrer zu Fahrer unterschiedlich genutzt und nach seinen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden kann.
