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 smoother 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 a stable state under heavy-duty stacking, sloping 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 a wider range of 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 free of setbacks. It is 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 an 80V large-capacity battery, the battery life can meet the needs of enterprises for single-day batch handling. The pure electric operation has low noise and no emissions, and is suitable for use in various environmental protection control plants.
3. Wide working condition adaptability, common indoors and outdoors
Relying on the advantages of the four-pivot 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. It can cope with the common slightly bumpy road surface in the factory area. One machine is suitable for multi-scene operation needs, and the equipment utilization rate is higher.
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, the failure rate of the whole machine is low, and the durability is good. 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.
