Hyster has announced an expanded lineup of high-capacity electric forklifts that offer the configurability to match a range of heavy-duty applications.
The integrated lithium-ion battery power of the Hyster® J230-400XD series high-capacity electric forklifts provides the performance and rugged reliability demanding environments require, while offering a zero-emission alternative to internal combustion engine (ICE) power.
The J230-400XD series high-capacity electric forklift is available with a range of battery sizes to match duty cycle and charging requirements, configurable up to 280kW. The 350-volt architecture provides a right-sized solution for ICE-like performance and energy efficiency. This solution offers long run times and minimizes energy loss without the additional cost and complexity of higher-voltage systems.
Hyster, an associate member with the Southern Forest Products Association, now offers this model series of integrated lithium-ion big trucks with load capacities from 23,000 to 40,000 pounds and 24-, 36- or 48-inch load centers.
“This expanded line of high-capacity lithium-ion trucks is an example of our continued commitment to providing a practical electric solution with a competitive total cost of ownership that can be tailored to meet the needs of as many applications as possible – from lumber and metals to ports and other intense operations,” said Ricky Hirani, Hyster’s global commercial product leader, big trucks. “We also took steps with this series to help ease the transition for operations pursuing decarbonization. This includes a high level of commonality with equivalent diesel Hyster models, tools to help monitor and manage batteries, and compatibility with common charging infrastructure.”
