Hyster Company (Greenville, NC) has announced the release of a new, flexible onboard charging solution available on several of its counterbalanced integrated lithium-ion electric forklift models. The Hyster J40XNTL, J40XNL, J50-60XNL, E50-60XNL and E80XNL are now available with an onboard charging option that allows the equipment to be charged via commonly available electrical outlets, in addition to traditional off-board fast charging. This new solution provides a level of flexibility that opens the door for businesses to take advantage of clean power options for forklifts in a broader range of operations and environments.
The onboard charging solution can help make integrated lithium-ion forklifts a stronger fit for applications and locations with intermittent charging availability, and lower-hour applications that don’t require fast charging. It also gives businesses looking to rent forklifts an electric option without having to make any alterations to their electrical infrastructure, and even enables recharging via generator in locations where power is unreliable or unavailable.
Available on many new integrated lithium-ion forklift models, the onboard charging option includes a charging cable with a 240-volt 50-amp connection, adaptors for both 240-volt 30-amp and 120-volt 12-amp plugs, and an out-of-the-way storage bin located to the left of the seat for all cables and adaptors.
