Steinbock Boss JE 10-40

The "Steinbock Boss Forklift" bucket therefore combines models from several decades and various series codes — in this database including C, H, L, CL and JE, with other eras also using PE, KE or RH/SH. A single letter logic holding across all series is not consistently documented in available sources; what is clear is that Steinbock focused almost exclusively on classic front-end counterbalance trucks, mostly diesel- and LPG-powered, with electric models playing only a minor role.

The models recorded here span capacities from 900 to 10,000 kg at own weights of 900 to 13,380 kg and lift heights of 2,770 to 6,050 mm, powered by engines of 2,000 to 6,000 cm³ displacement across 4 to 6 cylinders — a range from light warehouse trucks to heavy industrial units, seen in versions such as C 80, H 70D or L 16H.

Since the brand has not been built for over two decades, spare-parts supply is the main limiting factor when buying used: parts are usually only available from leftover stock, Jungheinrich-era remainders, or independent workshops. Given the typically high age of the machines, mast condition, cylinder seals and the drive axle deserve particularly close inspection.
