3.5-Ton Electric Counterbalance Forklift – Indoor/Outdoor Material Handling Equipment

Overview

Core Features & Advantages

1. Reliable Lifting Performance for Heavy Loads

• 3.5-Ton Load Capacity: Engineered to handle standard industrial loads, including palletized goods (cartons, building materials, automotive parts), bulk containers, and heavy machinery components—ideal for mid-range material handling tasks.
• 6-Meter Lifting Height: Equipped with a high-strength mast (2/3-stage full-free lift) that extends to 6 meters, enabling access to high-bay warehouse shelves (up to 18 feet) and maximizing vertical storage space utilization.
• Smooth Hydraulic Control: Proportional hydraulic valves deliver precise control over lifting, lowering, and tilting operations, with a fast lifting speed (0.5 m/s) and slow lowering function for delicate loads (e.g., glass, electronics).
• Heavy-Duty Forks: 1220mm-long, 45mm-thick alloy steel forks with a load backrest, designed to withstand repeated heavy loads and resist bending—ensuring safe and stable load handling.

2. Eco-Friendly Electric Powertrain & Long Battery Life

• Zero Emissions & Low Noise: Powered by a 48V electric motor (AC drive) with zero exhaust emissions, making it compliant with strict indoor air quality regulations. The quiet operation (≤70 dB) reduces workplace noise pollution, ideal for factories and retail warehouses.
• Dual Battery Options:
  • Lead-Acid Battery (Standard): Cost-effective 48V/500Ah lead-acid battery with a charging time of 8–10 hours, providing 6–8 hours of continuous operation—suitable for single-shift work.
  • Lithium-Ion Battery (Optional): High-performance 48V/600Ah Li-ion battery with fast charging (2–3 hours), 12+ hours of continuous operation, and a 2000+ cycle life—eliminating battery replacement costs and enabling 24/7 multi-shift work.
• Energy Recovery System: Regenerative braking technology recovers energy during deceleration and lowering, extending battery life by 15% and reducing charging frequency.

3. Compact Maneuverability & All-Terrain Stability

• 360° Maneuverability: A compact design with a minimum turning radius of 2.5 meters (outer) allows easy navigation in narrow warehouse aisles (≤3 meters wide) and tight loading docks—maximizing space efficiency in crowded facilities.
• Smooth AC Drive System: The brushless AC motor delivers instant torque and responsive acceleration, with a travel speed of up to 18 km/h (outdoor) and 12 km/h (indoor) for fast load transportation between workstations.
• Stable Counterbalance Design: The heavy-duty counterweight at the rear ensures load stability even at maximum lifting height, while the pneumatic (outdoor) or cushion (indoor) tires provide excellent traction on smooth concrete, asphalt, and slightly uneven ground.

4. Ergonomic Operation & Enhanced Safety

• Comfortable Operator Compartment: Spacious operator platform with an adjustable suspension seat, ergonomic joystick controls, and a tiltable steering wheel—reducing fatigue during long work shifts. The low step-in height (≤350mm) ensures easy entry/exit for frequent operator changes.
• Intelligent Control Panel: A digital LCD display provides real-time monitoring of battery level, travel speed, lifting height, and fault codes, with a waterproof keypad and emergency power-off button for quick operation.
• Comprehensive Safety Protections:
  • Overload Protection: Hydraulic pressure relief valve that automatically stops lifting when exceeding the 3.5-ton rated capacity to prevent structural damage.
  • Fork Position Safety Lock: Prevents accidental fork movement during transportation to avoid load shifting.
  • Emergency Stop System: Hardwired emergency stop button on the control handle for instant shutdown in critical situations.
  • LED Safety Lights (Optional): Front/rear LED headlights, taillights, and a warning beacon enhance visibility in low-light environments and alert pedestrians to the forklift’s presence.

5. Customizable Configurations for Versatile Use

• Mast & Lifting Height Options: Upgrade to a 7-meter or 8-meter 3-stage mast for ultra-high-bay storage; choose a full-free lift mast for operation in low-ceiling warehouses.
• Tire Customization: Pneumatic tires (standard) for outdoor rough terrain; cushion tires (optional) for indoor smooth floors to reduce noise and floor damage.
• Attachment Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of attachments, including side shifters (for precise load positioning), fork positioners (for quick fork adjustment), clamps (for barrels/boxes), and rotators (for inverted loads)—extending the forklift’s functionality beyond standard pallet handling.
• Power & Charger Upgrades: Optional 5kW fast charger for lithium-ion batteries; cold-weather battery heating system for operation in temperatures as low as -20°C.
