Timber yards, recycling sites, ports and heavy manufacturing that want to replace a heavy diesel truck with a zero-emission electric. Hyundai's B-X, 4 to 9 tonnes.
Hyundai
The B-X at a glance
The B-X is Hyundai’s heavy electric forklift: a 309 to 348 volt lithium-ion truck from 4 to 9 tonnes, built to do the work of a heavy diesel with no exhaust. It shares its chassis, front axle, mast and cab with Hyundai’s diesel trucks, so it is built for the yard rather than the warehouse floor.

Charging and runtime
The battery is lithium iron phosphate with its own thermal management and needs no daily or weekly maintenance. With the 93 kWh battery and a 40 kW charger, a charge takes about two hours and gives up to 11 hours of work. The battery, drive motor and hydraulic motor are sealed to IP67, and the vehicle control unit to IP69K, for wet and dusty yards.
Where it works
The B-X works in timber yards, recycling, ports, steel, construction materials and heavy manufacturing, where sites have run diesels because of the loads and now want lower noise and no fumes around people.
Before you buy
This is a high-voltage machine, isolated for servicing through a manual service disconnect plug, so servicing is a job for our engineers. The display shows battery status, warnings and the next maintenance interval, and factory telematics can report on the truck remotely. Our engineers inspect every used B-X before it is sold.
Supply, hire and training
We supply the B-X new as Hyundai’s exclusive dealer and distributor, sized to your loads. Heavy 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 B-X fits, new, used or on hire.
