Driven by emissions regulations and corporate initiatives, businesses across Europe are reaching for ambitious sustainability goals, meaning the demand for efficient equipment with clean power is greater than ever. These hard targets need tough solutions, and that is where the new lineup of Hyster® high-capacity electric forklifts offers a powerful alternative to internal combustion engine models.
The latest Hyster J10-18XD lithium-ion lift trucks combine the benefits of reduced emissions with a low total cost of ownership and top tier operational efficiency. Coupled with a capacity to lift up to 18-tonnes, this makes them a great fit for many different applications looking to make the switch from diesel-powered forklift trucks to an electric fleet.
Check out these videos to see some of the ways that these durable lift trucks from the electrification experts at Hyster can help to transform your business.
Zero-emission forklifts for a zero-emission future
Switching to Hyster high-capacity electric forklifts can be a vital step on the journey towards embracing a zero-emission future. Unlike the internal combustion engine (ICE) forklifts traditionally used in heavy-duty environments, the new J10-18XD electric lift trucks produce no exhaust emissions.
Industrial businesses, such as those in the wood and metals industry or port operations, have historically been significant contributors to carbon emissions alongside other air quality and environmental factors. Swapping ICE for battery power by swapping to a fleet of J10-18XD lift trucks can help industrial businesses to reduce their carbon footprint right away, demonstrating a commitment to global sustainability improvements.
Cost savings deliver Return-on-Investment (ROI)
A compelling advantage of the new Hyster J10-18XD electric forklift lineup is the potential for substantial cost savings when matched with the right application and operating intensity. The Hyster J10-18XD series has been developed with an efficient, right-sized battery which supports long run times and reduces energy loss, delivering long-term value. The new trucks have been designed to minimise complexity and capitalise on commonality with the rest of the Hyster range to help reduce maintenance costs and requirements. Lithium-ion batteries are maintenance free. Over time, these savings mount up providing measurable ROI.
Enhanced operational efficiency
Hyster high-capacity electric forklifts are designed to do more than just get the job done in demanding environments. They have been developed to deliver high performance, in part thanks to long run times and intelligent charging capabilities.
With integrated lithium-ion batteries, the J10-18XD heavy-duty forklift trucks achieve the range needed for many handling tasks, helping avoid unexpected interruptions for recharging. What’s more, regenerative braking can help send energy back to the battery, and lithium-ion batteries by design can be opportunity charged. This enables the truck to be topped up on power during short periods of operator downtime like scheduled breaks.
Quick charging, using the standard Combined Charging System (CCS) connector, allows the new lift truck models to achieve sufficient power for around one hour of work time from as little as 11 minutes of charging at 90 kW.
This approach supports reduced downtime and more productivity, enabling businesses to maintain high levels of operational efficiency cost-effectively.
Ease the transition to decarbonisation
The new Hyster J10-18XD series provide a robust and practical option for businesses looking to reduce forklift tailpipe emissions, while also maintaining productive and competitive operations.
