Jungheinrich Forklift trucks, electric, EFG

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Jungheinrich Forklift trucks, electric, EFG use power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,5 to 2,5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 1000 hours or 12 months and changes at 12 months or 2000 hours. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Jungheinrich EFG 316k and EFG 318k share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 2.5 liters, which is a notably larger reservoir volume compared to the EFG-D30 and reflects a more substantial hydraulic steering circuit in those models.
  • The EFG-D30 steering system holds only 0.5 liters of power steering fluid, a significantly smaller capacity that corresponds to a more compact or simplified steering hydraulic arrangement.
  • For the EFG 316k and EFG 318k under normal use conditions, a fluid check interval of 1,000 hours is specified alongside a change interval governed by whichever threshold arrives first: 12 months or 2,000 hours of operation.
  • The dual-trigger change interval on the EFG 316k and EFG 318k, combining a calendar limit of 12 months with an operational limit of 2,000 hours, means time-based degradation is treated as equally relevant as usage-based wear in determining when a fluid change is due.
  • The EFG-D30 steering system specification lists only a check interval of 12 months or 1,000 hours under normal use conditions, with no fluid change interval recorded in the specifications for that model.
  • The EFG 316k and EFG 318k share starting year 2005 with the EFG-D30, yet the two k-series models carry a 2009 starting year, placing all three within the 2005-2009 period covered by these specifications.
  • The 1,000-hour check interval on the EFG 316k and EFG 318k is notably shorter than the 2,000-hour change interval, establishing a mid-cycle inspection point intended to assess fluid condition before the full service interval is reached.
