Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group, the exclusive distributor of Jungheinrich lift trucks, narrow-aisle and automated guided vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico, recently launched the Jungheinrich EKX 516ka / 516a Automated High-Rack Stacker.

A powerful and versatile solution for high-density storage and very narrow aisle operations, the EKX 516ka / 516a boasts a fully automated, full-pallet storage and retrieval system and 24/7 operation, allowing for maximum efficiency and productivity.

Key features include: 

Efficiency and Performance 

• Thanks to the optional integration of an on-board battery charger, bus bar and current collector, the EKX 516ka / 516a is optimally prepared for 24/7 use. The field-tested wire guidance in combination with RFID transponders ensures precise positioning at the storage location as well as automatic aisle changes. With the option of automation in stages (manual, semi-autonomous and full autonomous operation), customers can benefit from maximum availability, efficiency and performance of their warehouse processes.

Built For Narrow Aisles and High-Density Storage 

• The EKX is specifically designed for very narrow aisle operations, with a compact design and 180 degree swiveling forks, allowing it to maneuver in aisles as narrow as 68″. Its lift capacity of 3,500 pounds and lift height up to 511 inches make it ideal for high-density storage, optimizing the amount of space in warehouses and distribution centers.

Environmentally Friendly 

• The electric powertrain ensures quiet and emission-free operation, making it an environmentally friendly choice for indoor use. Additionally, its energy-efficient design results in lower operating costs and less maintenance compared to other traditional very-narrow-aisle turret trucks.
