Jungheinrich UK first launched its online ‘webshop’ in April 2013 to allow businesses to order Hand Pallet Trucks directly online. Due to the success of the shop, and increasing demand for more product lines, this initial offering has grown into the Jungheinrich PROFISHOP you see today.

Jungheinrich PROFISHOP was launched in the UK in 2017 but our experience and knowledge pool extends further - drawing on the expertise and product portfolio of Jungheinrich AG’s successful PROFISHOP first established in Germany back in 2006. You can visit our German colleagues' PROFISHOP website at: www.jh-profishop.de 

Our online product portfolio includes selected items from the premium Jungheinrich product range and our traditional Ameise® brand exclusive to Jungheinrich. Our shop also includes an increasing selection of items from other top brands too. All products are characterised by a quality standard - and they are competitively priced too!

Jungheinrich is one of the world’s leading companies in the material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow engineering sectors.
