Jungheinrich launch ‘AntOn’ material handling sub-brand.

A new name in the Australian materials handling market, ‘AntOn by Jungheinrich’ has arrived with a focus on value-for-money and clean, emissions-free operation. The local launch of AntOn comes in response to strong growth in the Asia-Pacific's material handling value segment, which is projected to expand at 8.1 per cent by 2030. AntOn by Jungheinrich is designed for businesses seeking reliable, straightforward and cost-effective solutions for everyday operations.

With sustainability programmes and fleet modernisation initiatives accelerating the shift toward electrified material handling equipment, the full AntOn range is electric, balancing performance, efficiency and total cost of ownership.

"The AntOn by Jungheinrich brand is a new product line combining ease of use, reliability and cost-effectiveness," said Nadine Despineux, Member of the Board of Management, Sales at Jungheinrich. "We are specifically targeting companies that are looking for cost-effective and straightforward solutions for typical warehouse and transport requirements."

AntOn’s launch range includes the ‘CBH 2.0,’ ‘CBM 2.5,’ ‘CBM 3.0’ and ‘CBM 3.5’ electric forklifts, delivering load capacities of 2,000kg, 2,500kg, 3,000kg and 3,500kg, and travel speeds up to 17 km/h. Advanced lithium-ion batteries offer rapid charging and extended operation, long service life, and minimal maintenance for reliable, efficient material handling in APAC markets.

The launch range also includes the compact ‘PTL 1.5’ pallet truck, which offers a 1,500kg load capacity, and an additional battery slot for uninterrupted performance.

Jungheinrich says the AntOn model portfolio will expand in the future.

"With more than 70 years of material handling expertise, Jungheinrich delivers end-to-end solutions supported by an established parts and service network across the Asia-Pacific," said Manojit Acharya, Vice President, Jungheinrich APAC.
