 Comment on this model.
Jungheinrich is a long-established German company
which is a leader in material handling equipment and
warehousing logistic solutions.
The EKS 110 is designed for use in warehouses where it
picks orders from industrial racking. It is an
electric machine with a maximum load of 1 tonne.
The machine typically weighs under two tonnes.
Packaging
The model comes in a
Jungheinrich branded box and is enclosed between
expanded polystyrene trays. The box has the NZG model
number of 578, reflecting the first run of the model and the scale is incorrectly marked
as 1:50 instead of 1:25.
The review model had no missing parts or defects.
Detail
On the underside there is little detail other than the
three roller wheels.
The curved body shape is a nice casting with a panel
handle on one side, small grilles and the graphics are
crisp and clear.
The platform has a non-slip texture and the controls and
instrument panel are nicely modelled.
The forks are metal.
A plastic pallet is included which is textured to
represent wood.
Features
The rollers rotate smoothly, but there is no steering.
The platform can be raised and lowered.
The forks can be raised and lowered.
Quality
It is entirely metal with the pallet being the only
plastic part.
The paint and graphics are very good.
Price
It is fair value given the weight of metal.
Overall
This is a simple well-made model. Although it has a
changed number compared to the first run of the
model (#578) it is not clear that there are any changes.
Footnotes
This version of the model first appeared at the Nuremberg
Toy Fair in 2014. |
