What Are The Features Of Hyster E50-60XNL Electric Forklift?

The Hyster E50-60XNL Electric Forklift is a robust material handling solution with a 5,000–6,000 kg load capacity, powered by 48V lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries. Its AC motors ensure high torque and energy efficiency, while ergonomic features like adjustable seats and intuitive controls enhance operator comfort. Ideal for high-demand environments like warehouses and manufacturing, it offers 8–10 hours of runtime and regenerative braking for reduced energy costs. Advanced thermal management ensures stable performance in extreme temperatures.

What are the load capacity and operational range?

The Hyster E50-60XNL handles 5,000–6,000 kg loads with a 8–10 hour runtime. Its 48V battery system (600–800Ah) supports heavy cycles, while regenerative braking recovers 15–20% energy during deceleration. Pro Tip: Regularly check battery water levels (if lead-acid) or SOC (if lithium) to avoid capacity fade.

This forklift’s load capacity peaks at 6,000 kg when configured with counterbalance weights and reinforced forks. Beyond raw power, the operational range depends on battery type: a 48V 800Ah lithium pack provides ~10 hours of mixed-use operation, while lead-acid variants require midday swaps. For example, a logistics center moving pallets over 6-hour shifts reported a 30% productivity gain after switching to lithium-ion. But what happens if operators ignore voltage drop warnings? Premature battery degradation—so always monitor via the onboard diagnostic display. AC motor efficiency (up to 90%) further extends range by minimizing heat loss compared to DC systems.

How does the power source impact performance?

Hyster E50-60XNL uses 48V lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, delivering 15–20 kW continuous power. Lithium packs offer 2x faster charging and 50% weight savings, crucial for multi-shift operations. Warning: Using non-OEM chargers may void battery warranties due to voltage curve mismatches.

Power source selection directly influences torque and runtime. Lithium-ion batteries, particularly LiFePO4, maintain stable voltage under load, ensuring consistent motor performance. For instance, a 48V 600Ah lithium pack can recharge to 80% in 1.5 hours, whereas lead-acid equivalents take 8+ hours. Practically speaking, this means fewer battery swaps and higher uptime. The AC motor’s 220 Nm torque at 0 RPM enables smooth heavy lifting, but pairing it with a degraded lead-acid battery reduces efficiency by 25–30%. Pro Tip: For cold storage applications (-20°C), opt for lithium-ion with built-in thermal management to prevent capacity loss.

Why choose AC motors over DC?

AC motors provide higher torque (220 Nm) and 95% efficiency vs. DC’s 80%. They’re maintenance-free—no brushes to replace—and handle steep inclines without overheating. Real-world case: A German auto plant reduced downtime by 40% after switching to AC-powered Hyster forklifts.

AC motors excel in high-duty cycles due to their brushless design, which eliminates carbon brush wear and reduces spark risks in flammable environments. How does this affect daily operations? Faster acceleration (0–10 km/h in 4 seconds) and precise speed control via inverters. For example, a beverage distributor moving 8,000 kg pallets up 15% ramps achieved 22% faster turnaround times. Plus, AC motors generate less heat, cutting cooling system strain. But remember: Always use Hyster-approved motor controllers—third-party units may not handle the 300A peak current safely.
