Product details

Product Overview

BYD EL18-PRO is a 1.8-ton four-pivot counterbalanced electric forklift, which is developed for heavy-duty, high-frequency, and multi-working condition handling scenarios. Different from the three-pivot model, this product adopts a four-pivot stable chassis design, which has stronger bearing performance and wider road adaptability. It can be competent for indoor storage stacking and outdoor factory transshipment operations at the same time. Relying on BYD's mature new energy electronic control technology, the vehicle runs smoothly and has strong adaptability to working conditions. It is a practical equipment for electric upgrading of factories and logistics enterprises.

II. Core product advantages

1. Four-point stable chassis for smooth heavy-duty operation

The vehicle adopts a classic four-wheel balance weight structure, with strong chassis support and a balanced center of gravity of the whole vehicle, which can maintain good stability under heavy-duty stacking, slope driving, and uneven ground conditions. The 1.8-ton rated load is matched with a standard 500mm load center distance to meet the needs of most industrial cargo handling; compared with the same level of narrow-body forklifts, outdoor venues and rough surfaces have better performance and are suitable for rich working conditions.

2. Pure electric AC electronic control system, strong adaptability to working conditions

Equipped with an industrial-grade AC AC electronic control system, the power output is uniform and soft, and the start and stop are smooth, suitable for long-term high-frequency continuous operation. The driving and lifting speed of the whole vehicle matches the beat of conventional industrial operations, and the operation efficiency is stable and reliable. Equipped with 80V large-capacity battery, the battery life is stable, and it can support single-shift continuous operation; pure electric operation, no exhaust gas is generated during the operation, and it is suitable for use in environmentally friendly control plants.

3. Wide working condition adaptability, common indoors and outdoors

Relying on the advantages of the four-point structure, the vehicle is not only suitable for high-level stacking and pallet transfer in indoor warehouses, but also for outdoor scene operations such as factory roads, loading and unloading platforms, and open-air freight yards. The vehicle has reasonable ground clearance and good passability, which can cope with the common slightly bumpy road surface in the factory area. One machine is suitable for multi-scene operation needs, which helps to improve equipment utilization.

4. Low operation and maintenance costs, suitable for long-term high-frequency use

The brushless structure design of the motor reduces the frequency of daily maintenance and reduces the loss of parts. The hydraulic system is well-adjusted, the operating pressure is stable, and the whole machine operates stably and has good durability. Compared with traditional fuel forklifts, there is no need for fuel consumption and frequent maintenance of engine consumables, which can effectively reduce the long-term equipment cost of enterprises and has outstanding economy.
