Hyundai Construction Equipment has launched the B-X Series next-generation electric forklift.
The 2.5-ton electric forklift is the most widely used product in indoor workplaces and is expected to be the core product, along with the company’s first medium-sized hydrogen forklift developed in Korea, to lead the eco-friendly logistics industry.
For this series, Hyundai Construction Equipment has maximized drivers’ convenience, optimizing the driver's seat design, air conditioning, and heating functions. It allows battery withdrawal on the side. Conventional electric forklifts needed cranes when taking out a battery, but the B-X Series allows removing the battery on the side more easily and safely using hand pallets or forklifts.
Hyundai Construction Equipment is determined to redefine standards for small electric forklift markets—where cost-effectiveness is important—by applying lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for the first time in the B-X series. As LFP batteries require shorter charging time and generate higher output power than lead-acid batteries, they are suitable for long operating hours and high volume.
“We have launched the B-X Series with eco-friendliness, work efficiency, and user-friendly features. We will take the lead in positive changes in the logistics market with differentiated product power and marketing strategies,” said an official from Hyundai Construction Equipment.
