Taylor Machine Works has launched the 36,000 lb. (16,000 kg) ZH-360L Heavy Lift Truck as part of its electrification drive.

Robert Taylor, president and COO of Taylor Machine Works, has pledged to continue to develop zero-emissions options for customers that have such targets.

The truck is aimed at a popular capacity range for major industries, including wood products, iron and steel, concrete, oil and gas, and port operations. 

The ZH-360L is powered by permanent magnet synchronous electric motors and American-manufactured NMC batteries. It also features an advanced E-axle that utilises regenerative braking to assist with battery recharge during operation.

Taylor claims the forklift can operate uninterrupted through an average duty-cycle eight-hour shift. Recharge time is also optimised to only 1.5 hours. If opportunity charging at lunch and breaks is utilised, the run time can approach the same multi-shift work cycles as any internal combustion counterpart.

The new model joins three other zero-emission Taylor trucks, dating back to the first electric model launched in 2019.
