More characteristics
The Jungheinrich EZS C40 is a versatile, economic tow tractor for pulling trailers weighing up to 4000 kg. Attaching several trailers allows the loading areas to be varied. This contributes to flexible material turnover. With its super-elastic drive wheel (SE) the EZS C40 also offers optimum traction on smooth floors as well as slightly uneven ground, such as when operating outdoors. At the same time the solid tyre absorbs minor impacts, e.g. from bumpy ground and dock levellers. With its increased ground clearance the truck is ideally suited for travelling on uneven surfaces, even outdoors. The coupling is visible from any position and easily accessible. This saves time and costs. The tow tractor can be equipped with a wide range of couplings, making it adaptable to practically any type of trailer.
The 24-volt drive motor with its 3-phase AC technology ensures a high performance. The advantages: Powerful acceleration and high maximum speed. At the same time, it offers clear energy savings, extended operating times and minimal maintenance costs. This is due to the optimised efficiency, the optimised match between the drive motor and drive control as well as regenerative braking.
High productivity features include the low stand-on platform and the short distance from the operator position to the load. The EZS works well in tight areas. Its turning radius is so small that the operator will feel that they are turning on the spot. The JetPilot steering wheel, supportive backrest and Curve Control automatic speed reduction all provide comfortable operation when cornering.
