Key facts

• Jungheinrich spec sheet 10/2026 (VDI 2198, fetched 2026-10-17, ZT 3500 mm mast): capacity 1,500 kg at 600 mm load centre; service weight incl. battery 3,280 kg; total length 2,492 mm, width 900 mm, aisle width 3,300 mm (800 x 1200 pallet); retracted mast height 2,590 mm (2,730 mm incl. laser scanner), extended 4,335 mm. The 3,280 kg weight is for this ZT 3500 mast only; truck weight changes with the mast, so the base weight is null and the figure sits in the ZT 3500 variant.
• Speed: spec sheet gives 5 km/h laden / 7 km/h unladen (4.3 km/h in load direction); the product page says 7 km/h. max_speed_ms 1.94 is 7 km/h converted. A figure of 2.5 m/s seen in other Jungheinrich material was not found on any fetched page and is not used. Lift speed 0.25 m/s laden / 0.3 m/s unladen.
• Battery: product page says 24 V lithium-ion with optional automatic charging; the spec sheet lists the standard truck battery as 5 PzS 775 (24 V / 775 Ah, a lead-acid cell designation), which does not match the Li-ion truck described on the product page. The Li-ion capacity is not published, so battery_wh is null.
• Lift height by mast (duplex ZT): 2,750, 2,800, 3,500, 4,250, 4,750, 5,000, 5,500 and 6,000 mm; single mast E 1,600 mm. Total height depends on mast, so height_cm is left null.
• Drive: AC control, regenerative service brake, electric spring-loaded parking brake, electric steering, sound pressure level 65 dB(A) (EN 12053).
• Jungheinrich's UK and .com URLs both serve the product; the .com URL redirects to the UK page fetched here. A North American version (EKS 215a NA, 3,300 lb) is sold through a dealer and is not recorded as a separate variant.
• Year of launch not taken from a fetched source, so year_available is null.
