Nominated in the "Warehouse Truck" category: the ETV 216i reach truck

The ETV 216i is the world's first reach truck with a permanently installed lithium-ion battery as standard. In developing the truck, Jungheinrich has consistently exploited the advantages of space-saving and powerful battery technology. This has given the ETV 216i a revolutionary truck design. The latest generation reach truck has significantly improved ergonomics. The lithium-ion batteries, which are fully integrated into the vehicle, have a longer service life, are maintenance-free and perform better than conventional lead-acid batteries. This increases handling capacity and storage efficiency. Particularly short charging intervals enable 24/7 operation, in which the ETV 216i can store loads of up to 1,600 kg at a lifting height of up to 10.7 meters.

Nominated in the "AGV & Intralogistics Robot" category: The STC small parts stacker crane

The STC is Jungheinrich's first high-performance stacker crane for small parts developed in-house. With a travel speed of more than 6 meters per second, the STC is the most powerful miniload stacker crane in its class. In addition, it has energy buffers, so-called "SuperCaps", which are specially adapted to the driving behavior. They store the energy released during braking and feed it back into the drive system when accelerating. As a result, Jungheinrich has succeeded in reducing the energy requirement and, in particular, the connected load of the stacker crane by up to 25 percent compared to the competition.

Nominated in the category "Intralogistics Software": zoneCONTROL

Jungheinrich has set itself the goal of increasing the protection of people, machines, goods and warehouse equipment. The new zoneCONTROL increases safety at particularly critical points in the warehouse. The system consists of a radio module on the forklift truck and so-called radio anchors, which are installed at selected points in the warehouse.

A circular radio field is set up around such an anchor. Depending on the distance to this radio anchor, the radio module mounted on the vehicle triggers reactions such as braking the vehicle.

The expert jury is made up of 29 specialist journalists who work for logistics media from 19 countries.
