Two generations
The later BH-9 has a 5-inch colour display, uses less energy, lifts faster and runs its hydraulics more quietly, and it can take a lithium-ion battery. Earlier trucks have a 3.5-inch display and halogen headlights. Both are 80-volt, dual-drive trucks with side battery removal, and factory telematics can be fitted to the later model.
Buying a used BH-9
The display shows the hour meter, and a sensor on the brake oil reservoir warns of a low level, so check both first. Slide the battery out to look at the cells and connectors, and check the mast chains and forks. Our engineers inspect every used BH-9 before it goes on sale.
Supply, hire and training
As Hyundai’s exclusive dealer and distributor we supply the BH-9 new with lead-acid or lithium-ion and the mast your racking needs. 80-volt electric forklifts are available on hire and lease; ask us which models are available now. We run counterbalance forklift training at our centres and on customers’ sites.
Tell us the load, the lift height and the site, and we will say which BH-9 fits, new, used or on hire.
