Hangcha has launched a new XE series of electric forklifts spanning 1.5-3.8 T and with battery capacity of up to 80 V/608 Ah.

Key innovations in the line include permanent magnet synchronous technology and lithium-battery technology.

Capable of speeds of up to 18 km/h and grade of 25%, the XE series boasts toughened masts and steering axles, enabling the forklifts to handle heavy duties. 

Hangcha claims the new models cost “a little bit more … than an IC forklift”, but promises “a very low total cost of ownership thanks to the maintenance-free batteries and energy efficiency”. 

The first 100 units have already been delivered to customers in South East Asia, winning positive feedback from customers.
