About Jungheinrich — Premium German Engineering
Jungheinrich AG was founded in Hamburg in 1953 and has grown into one of the world's three largest forklift manufacturers, alongside Toyota Material Handling and the KION Group (which owns Linde Material Handling and STILL). With over 19,000 employees globally and operations in more than 40 countries, Jungheinrich brings German engineering precision to every product in its lineup.
The brand's defining characteristic in the current market is lithium-ion battery leadership. Jungheinrich made a strategic commitment to lithium-ion technology earlier than most competitors, developing proprietary battery management systems and integrated charging technology that give their electric forklifts industry-leading energy efficiency and battery longevity. For high-intensity operations running multiple shifts — distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment, food and beverage — Jungheinrich's lithium-ion advantage translates directly to lower operating costs and reduced downtime.
For equipment financing, Jungheinrich commands premium prices over Toyota or Crown but delivers measurably lower total cost of ownership for operations that push equipment hard. Jungheinrich Finance operates in North America with the same professionalism as the equipment — quick approvals, competitive rates, and fleet programs that streamline multi-unit financing.

Jungheinrich EFG Electric Counterbalance Forklift Financing
The EFG series is Jungheinrich's core electric counterbalance line — designed to replace IC (internal combustion) forklifts in indoor operations while delivering superior energy efficiency and lower operating costs. EFG models are available with both lead-acid and lithium-ion battery options, with lithium-ion commanding a $5,000–$10,000 premium but delivering substantially better performance in multi-shift operations.
| Model | Capacity | Battery Option | New Price | Used Price | Notes |

| EFG 213 | 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) | 48V Li-ion or lead-acid | $25,000–$35,000 | $11,000–$17,000 | Compact electric |

Jungheinrich ETR Reach Truck Financing
Jungheinrich ETR reach trucks represent the brand's core warehouse storage product — the machines that actually put pallets into racking at heights of 20–40+ feet. The ETR series is available in standard mast configurations for typical warehouse environments and in high-performance versions for demanding, high-frequency applications. Lithium-ion battery options are standard across most ETR configurations.
| Model | Capacity | Max Height | New Price | Used Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ETR 225 | 2,500 kg | 7.0m (23 ft) | $28,000–$38,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | Entry reach truck |
| ETR 230 | 3,000 kg | 8.5m (28 ft) | $33,000–$45,000 | $14,000–$21,000 | |

Jungheinrich EJC Order Picker Financing
The EJC series covers low-level and high-level order pickers — the equipment used by warehouse workers to pick individual items or cases from racking for order fulfillment. Order pickers are essential for e-commerce, grocery distribution, and any operation doing piece-level or case-level fulfillment rather than whole-pallet moves. The EJC series covers everything from simple walkie pallet jacks to elevated order picking platforms.
| Model | Type | Platform Height | New Price | Used Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EJC 110 | Low-level order picker | 200mm (8 in) | $18,000–$26,000 | $7,000–$12,000 | Floor-level picking |
| EJC 212 | Mid-level order picker | 1,200mm (47 in) | $22,000–$30,000 | $9,000–$14,000 | |
| EJC 216 | High-level order picker | Up to 5.5m (18 ft) | $28,000–$38,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | Most popular EJC |
| EJC 220 | High-level order picker | Up to 7.5m (25 ft) | $34,000–$45,000 | $15,000–$21,000 |
Jungheinrich EKX Very Narrow Aisle Forklift Financing
The EKX series is Jungheinrich's very narrow aisle (VNA) turret truck — the pinnacle of warehouse density. VNA turret trucks can operate in aisles as narrow as 5.5 feet (1.65 meters) and reach heights exceeding 40 feet, enabling storage densities impossible with conventional reach trucks. The EKX is a high-investment, high-return product for operations where building footprint cost justifies maximizing storage density.
| Model | Capacity | Max Height | New Price | Used Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EKX 410 | 1,000 kg | Up to 12m (39 ft) | $55,000–$72,000 | $24,000–$34,000 | Entry VNA |

| EKX 518 | 1,800 kg | Up to 17m (56 ft) | $95,000–$120,000 | $42,000–$56,000 | Maximum density |

Jungheinrich Finance — OEM Financing Details
Jungheinrich Finance provides OEM equipment financing in North America through the authorized dealer network. Standard loan terms run 36–72 months for new equipment. Jungheinrich Finance offers both traditional loans and operating leases, with operating lease terms of 36–60 months that include maintenance packages — a popular option for operations that want predictable total cost of ownership without owning the residual risk at lease end.
Fleet financing through Jungheinrich Finance is particularly streamlined — a master credit facility can cover all equipment in a single facility, with individual drawdowns as equipment is ordered and delivered. This is especially useful for distribution centers commissioning large forklift fleets (50–200+ units) as part of a facility buildout or expansion. Fleet customers often negotiate residual value guarantees that improve the economics of operating leases.
For independent lenders, Jungheinrich's top-3 global market position and strong resale values make it a preferred brand. Lenders like Beacon Capital Group, ENGS Commercial Finance, and First Western Equipment Finance regularly finance Jungheinrich equipment and understand its German engineering premium and long service life expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Jungheinrich Forklift Financing
Is Jungheinrich available in the United States?
Yes. Jungheinrich operates in North America through a direct subsidiary and an authorized dealer network. The brand is well-established in US distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and cold storage facilities. Jungheinrich Finance provides OEM financing in the US, and major independent lenders — including Beacon Capital Group, ENGS Commercial Finance, and First Western Equipment Finance — regularly finance Jungheinrich equipment. The brand's premium positioning means higher prices than Crown or Toyota but typically lower long-term operating costs.
Why does Jungheinrich lead in lithium-ion battery technology?
Jungheinrich made an early corporate commitment to lithium-ion technology for forklifts, investing in proprietary battery management systems and integrated charging technology. Jungheinrich's lithium-ion forklifts feature opportunity charging (charge during breaks without damaging the battery), longer cycle life (2,500–3,000+ cycles vs. 1,200–1,500 for lead-acid), and integrated battery management that extends equipment life. These advantages have made Jungheinrich the preferred brand for high-intensity operations running multiple shifts where lead-acid batteries would require swapping.
How does Jungheinrich financing compare to Toyota and Crown financing?
Jungheinrich Finance offers comparable terms to Toyota Financial Services and Crown Credit — loans and leases from 36–72 months, fleet programs, and service financing. Jungheinrich's higher equipment prices mean larger loan amounts but the premium engineering typically results in lower maintenance costs over the equipment's life. Lenders approve Jungheinrich applications readily given the brand's top-3 global market position and strong resale values, particularly for electric models with lithium-ion batteries.
What is the EKX very narrow aisle forklift and who needs it?
The Jungheinrich EKX is a very narrow aisle (VNA) turret truck designed to operate in aisles as narrow as 5.5–6 feet (1.65–1.85 meters), compared to 10–12 feet for standard reach trucks. VNA turret trucks can reach heights of 40–50 feet, enabling extremely dense storage configurations. The EKX is used in high-density warehouses, distribution centers, and cold storage facilities where maximizing storage density per square foot justifies the $55,000–$120,000 investment. VNA equipment requires specialized racking and floor systems.
Can I finance a Jungheinrich forklift if I'm switching from Toyota?
Yes, switching brands is straightforward from a financing perspective. Jungheinrich Finance can provide financing for new purchases regardless of what equipment you're replacing. If you have an existing Toyota equipment loan, you can trade in the Toyota (applying any equity toward the Jungheinrich purchase) or simply let the Toyota loan run its course. Independent lenders can finance either brand simultaneously if you're running a mixed fleet.
What documentation does Jungheinrich Finance require?
For established businesses (2+ years), Jungheinrich Finance typically requires 2 years of business tax returns, 3–6 months of bank statements, a completed credit application, and the equipment quote or purchase agreement. For larger transactions over $150,000, audited or reviewed financial statements may be required. Startups (under 2 years) generally need personal tax returns, personal financial statement, and 10–20% down payment. Approvals for established businesses with strong credit typically come within 24–48 hours.
