This Jungheinrich EFG 425K is a used electric forklift — sometimes referred to as an electric lift truck or counterbalance forklift — built for warehouse and logistics operations including the movement, stacking, and transport of palletised loads. Jungheinrich is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in electric-powered material handling equipment, with a broad range of forklifts, reach trucks, and warehouse systems serving intralogistics environments worldwide. This example was manufactured in 2022 and is located in Croatia, offered at $22,720.
At the core of this machine is an AC motor system housed in an enclosed design rated to IP 54 protection, making the drive unit resistant to dust and water ingress. AC motors of this type operate without carbon brushes, rendering them maintenance-free and wear-free over their service life. The same principle extends to the braking system: a maintenance-free multi-disc brake arrangement is fitted, and the forklift also employs regenerative braking upon release of the accelerator pedal, recovering energy back to the battery rather than dissipating it as heat. This energy recovery, combined with the high efficiency of the AC drivetrain, contributes to longer operating times between charges and reduces overall running costs.
The forklift carries a lifting capacity of 2.5 tonnes and is equipped with five individually adjustable operating programs, allowing the machine's performance characteristics to be tuned to the demands of specific tasks or operator preferences. Travel and lift speeds are described as high-throughput, supported by the strong acceleration characteristics that AC technology enables. Driving safety is addressed through Jungheinrich's CurveControl system, which automatically manages speed in corners, and an automatic parking brake that prevents rollback on ramps without any manual intervention by the operator.
Battery access is facilitated by a lateral exchange system using Jungheinrich's SnapFit mechanism, simplifying battery changes during multi-shift operations. The operator environment is described as ergonomically designed, and all machine functions are governed by electronic controls. The seller also notes the availability of three additional units of the same specification, differing only in that they have accumulated higher working hours than this example.
