Jungheinrich multiPILOT — When It Fails, the Entire Forklift Stops
The multiPILOT is Jungheinrich's ergonomic finger-operated armrest controller combining drive, mast hydraulics and fork functions in a single module. After 3–5 years of intensive warehouse use it requires regeneration.
New module from manufacturer: 1,200–2,800 EUR, delivery 4–8 weeks. Our regeneration: 3–5 working days, 180–480 EUR. Same specification, 12-month warranty.
