Jungheinrich presents new ERD 220i electric pallet truck

New Trucks
Jungheinrich has unveiled its new electric pallet truck ERD 220i at a recent virtual event. The forklift truck is designed for flexible use in the handling warehouse and to load and unload trucks. The new ERD 220i  has L2 dimension of just 1,065 mm and is therefore the most compact truck in its class.
