Counterbalance Forklifts
ECB16-35
Designed for high demand applications, BYD's unique LiFePO4 battery technology allows complete elimination of multiple battery setups and fuel costs associated with engine powered trucks.
Available in 3 and 4 wheel configurations, the award winning BYD range of electric counterbalance forklifts is designed to offer high levels of driver comfort and excellent visibility in all directions.
In addition to the maintenance free battery which is designed to last the lifetime of the truck, dual AC drive motors and oil-immersed disc brakes keep maintenance costs to the absolute minimum.
International Forklift of the Year
At CeMAT 2016 the BYD ECB18C lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) powered forklift was presented with the prestigeous International Forklift of the Year (IFOY) award in the category "Counterbalance trucks up to 3.5 tons".
Over the course of a one week test in purpose designed test halls at Deutche Messe, Hannover, the judges determined that the BYD ECB18C solves one of the biggest problems with electric forklift trucks; the battery. Its lithium iron phosphate battery can be charged extremely quickly, which means it can handle multiple shifts with ease.
Additionally, the battery is completely maintenance free and can be opporunity charged throughout the shift to top up the level of charge.
It is not just its battery that makes this truck unique, the IFOY jury also noted the overall finish of the BYD truck is far superior to that of its Chinese competitors. Specifically designed for the European market with dual AC drive motors and maintenance free wet disc brakes the ECB18C is also compact and offers excellent all-round visibility.
