The new HC XH Series High Voltage 309V Heavy Duty Forklift is an electric counterbalance forklift with a lithium-ion battery. There have been decades of research put into this to provide a pioneering structure to redefine forklifts which can be used inside and outside and stored at any temperature. The XH lift truck is not only unique, but it is the first in it’s industry.
Lithium-ion battery:
The battery is a powerful 309V Lithium-Ion battery that can be charged up to 100% in as little as an hour. This high-tech battery provides 12 hours of running time. This fast-charging time can help to make your work force more efficient due to the fact there’s shorter waiting times for the truck to be charged and a longer battery life. The battery charges rapidly to let your staff carry on working without needing to worry about the forklift battery needing recharging.
Accreditations:
This XH Series High Voltage truck has IPX4 and IP67 accreditation to help your workforce carry on with no distributions, including the dirt.
IPX4 Accreditation:
The IPX4 accreditation means it is waterproof and it can be used it heavy rain, but it can’t be submerged in water. This helps your workforce to be productive as they won’t have to stop working outside if it’s raining.
IP67 Accreditation:
The IP67 accreditation provides protection against dust and dirt over long periods of time to protect the truck and keep it running smoothly.
Forklift Advantages:
Not only does it have a lithium-ion battery, and is IPX4 and IP67 accredited, but there are other benefits that make this truck unique.
Enlarged Brake Pedal:
This XH Series Truck has an enlarged brake pedal as an extra safety feature. This is to minimise the chance of the driver pressing the accelerator rather than the brake, so it’s easier to identify which pedal is which, without looking. With a bigger brake pedal it’s easier to press it in an emergency but it also reduces the strain put on your body.
Not only this, but the enlarged brake pedal is able to absorb more heat energy than a regular brake pedal which means the braking system stays cooler for longer and you’ll have a high running time.
Rear View Camera for Pedestrian Safety:
The truck has a rear view back camera installed into it so you’re able to see behind you on a screen while reversing. This is another safety feature to reduce accidents when reversing as it gives you better vision and almost eliminates the blind spot. It can help you to see if there are any small boxes on the floor that you wouldn’t of been able to see it without it. It can stop strain to your neck as you’d no longer be turning your neck to look over your shoulder. The lift truck also makes a sound when reversing so people behind you are aware of the truck moving backwards.
Cold Store:
You can use this truck in cold places, and it will not affect the use of this truck at all. It will not affect the battery, hydraulics, or the engine. This forklift is an excellent way to keep your costs low if you are working in cold temperatures because using other forklifts in a cold place can significantly damage them, causing them to breakdown faster than normal.
Forklift Training Courses
Prior to working on this equipment, engineers are required to complete two training courses due to the high voltage specification. This ensures engineers can work safely and effectively on this equipment.
F Tech Course:
The initial training course required is the F Tech Level 3 High Voltage Electric Vehicle Rectification course which provides essential knowledge and skills to work safely on high voltage vehicles. You can find more information on this course here.
HC XH Product Training Course:
Our product training course is delivered over two-days. This course provides you will all the information you need to safely maintain this truck and covers the model range, maintenance, HC components, drive units, braking system, electrical components, material handling, steering, application changes, how to use the dash for onboard diagnostics, practical session, and an end of course evaluation.
The XH Series High Voltage 309V heavy-duty forklift can be very effective for many drivers needing to use the truck. With the lithium-ion battery, IPX4 and IP67 accreditation, the enlarged brake pedal, the rear-view camera, and the ability to cold store it, the benefits are huge to any company that is using it.
The HC XH product training course which is included within the price of the forklift is crucial to the engineer that is working on the lift truck.
