HC Forklift America Corporation (HCFA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hangcha Group, has announced the new XE Series Electric Lithium-Ion Pneumatic Forklift with a 4,000-7,600lb capacity. The new XE Series of lithium-ion pneumatic forklifts were designed from the ground up to provide operators with a true lithium-ion alternative to I.C. pneumatic forklifts. Because of this, the integrated 80V lithium-ion forklift features lift speeds, travel speeds, gradeability, ground clearance, and a competitive price point that rivals comparable I.C. pneumatic forklifts.
“HCFA is keeping with its plans to continue launching new and updated products. We are proud and pleased to showcase our new XE Series Lithium Iron Phosphate Pneumatic Forklifts. This is not just about a product launch, but about a company (Hangcha) that believes in innovation and market leadership. Our goal is to provide products that bring solutions to our customers at a reasonable cost. Keep watching, because we’re not finished!” said Frank Russo, Vice President of Sales and Dealer Development.
The XE Series: A True Lithium-ion Powered Competitor to I.C. Pneumatic Forklifts
Hangcha designed the XE Series to include double permanent magnet synchronous motors, reducers in the hydraulic pump, reliable I.C. pneumatic components, and design elements from Hangcha’s well-known I.C. pneumatic forklifts. Hangcha then tested the XE Series Electric Lithium-Ion Powered Forklift to electric and I.C. pneumatic forklift standards. This ensures that the XE Series is a true lithium-ion powered competitor to I.C. powered pneumatic forklifts.
Different applications require different equipment. Hangcha designed the new XE Series to complement our existing lithium-ion powered forklifts in the 4,000-7,600lb load capacity range. The XE Series Electric Lithium-Ion Pneumatic Tire Forklift provides operators with a new, integrated lithium-ion forklift that can handle the harsh outdoor applications that I.C. pneumatic forklifts are typically found in. By adding the XE Series, Hangcha now provides solutions for tight indoor applications, compact indoor/outdoor applications, and rugged indoor/outdoor applications with the X Series, XC Series, and the XE Series Electric Lithium-Ion Forklifts respectively.
The XE Series: A Lithium-Ion Advantage
The XE Series Electric Lithium-ion Pneumatic Forklift features an 80V integrated lithium-ion design. This integrated lithium-ion design provides operators with several key advantages.
These advantages include:
- A Larger, More Ergonomic Operator Compartment
- Maintenance-Free Battery Packs
- 3 Different Battery Options for Each Model to Tailor the Forklift to the End-User’s Application
- A Lower Center of Gravity
- Up to 11 Hours of Runtime Depending on Battery Pack and Application
- Easy-Access Charge Ports
- Heating Elements in the Battery Pack to Ensure Optimal Performance in Cold Weather Applications
With the XE Series’ integrated 80V lithium-ion system, I.C. pneumatic forklift design elements, and a competitive price point, end-users now have a true lithium-ion option when replacing I.C. pneumatic forklifts in their rugged outdoor applications.
