The Hyster® E50-60XNL series is an integrated lithium-ion powered solution built for intense indoor applications that demand high efficiency, charging flexibility, zero battery maintenance and smart sustainability.
This cushion tire lift truck, available in the 5,000-to-6,000-pound capacity range, is specifically designed to take advantage of the form factor of the lithium-ion battery pack, creating greater space in the operator compartment and reducing overall truck weight without compromising lift capacity or productivity.
-
Energy efficiency and maneuverability: Reduced truck weight compared to the equivalent lead-acid battery powered model helps improve acceleration while increasing energy efficiency. The lower center of gravity helps improve drive quality, stability and truck handling.
Operator comfort and convenience: The lowered floor and seat of the truck offer more headroom and space in the operator compartment, enabling greater freedom to position feet during operation and easier entry and exit. The power technology also eliminates the noise and vibration operators experience on an ICE truck.
- Zero emissions, FDA compliant: The lithium-ion technology produces zero emissions during operation and requires no gassing during the charging process, making it a strong choice for operations subject to high hygiene standards, such as pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing.
The E-XNL is part of a growing range of innovative products from Hyster to address increasing demand for electric lift truck solutions in a broader range of applications.
The truck joins the J50-60XNL, a pneumatic tire truck in the same capacity, as well as three heavy-duty, higher-capacity factory integrated lithium-ion options – the J155-190XNL, available in the 15,500-to-19,000-pound capacity range, and the J230-360XD and J360XD36-48, available with 23,000-to-36,000-pound load capacities.
Rather than adapting an existing lift truck design originally engineered for a lead-acid battery box, the E50-60XNL starts fresh and is designed from the ground up around the lighter and smaller lithium-ion battery pack. This results in reduced overall weight for improved acceleration and increased energy efficiency, without sacrificing lift capacity. A lower center of gravity improves stability while the spacious operator compartment and lowered floor and seat offer additional headroom, easier entry and exit, and increased freedom to position feet during operation.
Lithium-ion power is a practical solution for intense operations that traditionally relied on internal combustion engines (ICE). This power technology offers simple, reliable operation with zero battery maintenance, long battery life and fast charging times. In fact, with the proper charger, the E50-60XNL can go from 8% battery life to full power in as little as 65 minutes. It also eliminates the noise and vibration that operators experience on an ICE truck.
The lithium-ion battery technology is FDA compliant with zero emissions and no gassing during charging processes. The battery operating range also allows the truck to perform in a variety of harsh conditions, from minus 40 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Hyster® E50-60XNL series is the industry’s first cushion tire counterbalanced lift truck available in the 5,000-to-6,000-pound capacity range specifically designed around factory integrated lithium-ion power. It’s built for intense indoor applications that demand high efficiency, charging flexibility, zero battery maintenance and smart sustainability. The truck is designed from the ground up to take advantage of the form factor of the lithium-ion battery pack, creating greater space in the operator compartment and reducing overall truck weight without compromising lift capacity or productivity.
Rather than accommodating a space originally designed for a lead-acid battery box, the E50-60XNL is thoughtfully designed around the lighter and smaller li-ion battery, resulting in more headroom, increased freedom to position feet during operation and other ergonomic improvements for greater operator comfort.
The E50-60XNL addresses the growing demand for electric lift truck solutions for a broad range of intense indoor applications, including general manufacturing, metals, paper and packaging.
Key Product Features
- The Hyster® E50-60XNL is the industry’s first cushion tire counterbalanced lift truck in the 5,000-to-6,000-pound capacity range specifically designed around a factory integrated lithium-ion battery. That lithium-ion technology means that the truck produces zero emissions during operation and requires no gassing during the charging process.
- Designing the truck around the reduced form factor of an integrated lithium-ion battery pack allows for greatly improved operator ergonomics. The lowered floor and seat of the truck offer more headroom and space in the operator compartment, enabling greater freedom to position feet during operation and easier entry and exit. The power technology also eliminates the noise and vibration operators experience on an ICE truck.
- The smaller, lighter lithium-ion battery also results in reduced overall truck weight compared to the equivalent lead-acid battery powered model. This helps improve acceleration while increasing energy efficiency. The lower center of gravity helps improve drive quality, stability and truck handling.
