HC Forklift America has unveiled a new electric lithium-ion forklift with a 3,200-4,000 lb. (1.4 – 1.8 T) capacity.

HC Forklift, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hangzhou, China-based Hangcha Group, says its new 80 V XC series three-wheel electric lithium-ion pneumatic forklift replaces the previous generation A series model and has longer run times, a lower center of gravity and a 50% larger operator compartment.

HC Forklift vice president of sales and dealer development Frank Russo says: “The redesign includes moving the lithium-ion battery pack into a lower position of the unit offering stability along with moving the counterweight inside the frame to reduce the length of the unit.” 

Russo says the company is now working on developing new high voltage products.
