Hot on the heels of the launch of its XE Series electric lithium-ion pneumatic forklift, HC Forklift America Corporation (HCFA) has unveiled the new X Series electric lithium-ion cushion forklift.

The X Series, with a capacity of 8,000 lb (3.6 T) to 12,000 lb. (5.4 T), is designed for end users in demanding applications, such as paper roll handling.

It has higher ground clearance, giving it better performance on difficult ramp and dock plate transitions, while its low profile improves the operator’s line of sight when traveling in reverse, reducing risk.

The new X Series are 80 V, with a maintenance-free lithium iron phosphate battery pack that has a run time of up to 11 hours and a two-hour charge time.

“HCFA has promised to remain creative in bringing product innovation, leading edge design and significant value while making handling easier,” says Frank Russo, HCFA vice president of sales and dealer development.

“In the end we’re doing what’s most important, keeping our word.”
