Hyster has unveiled a brand new heavy-duty empty container handler, powered by built-in lithium-ion batteries.
The Hyster J6-7XD-EC3/4 fashions are engineered to satisfy the rigorous calls for of ports, terminals, container yards, and intermodal operations whereas supporting the decarbonisation of container dealing with fleets.
In keeping with Hyster, this newest addition to the electrical truck vary delivers constant efficiency corresponding to an inner combustion engine (ICE) truck however with zero tailpipe emissions.
That includes an electrical drivetrain, the empty container hander helps intensive obligation cycles, a lifting capability of 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms, and the power to stack containers three or 4 excessive.
“The J6-7XD-EC3/4 sequence combines the rugged reliability Hyster is understood for with the advantages of fresh energy from an built-in lithium-ion battery,” says Ricky Hirani, international industrial product chief, large vehicles for Hyster. “The transport and containerisation industries have a continued deal with sustainability, so the brand new empty container handler offers a versatile resolution for lowering carbon emissions, with out compromising on throughput or dependability.”
The truck’s 350V system structure is optimised for each vitality effectivity and uptime, offering a sensible and cost-effective different to higher-voltage techniques. The proper-sized batteries may also be configured to satisfy particular software calls for. Quick and alternative charging is feasible utilizing the standardised CCS (Mixed Charging System) for plug-in gear, enabling simple integration with present electrical fleets and infrastructure.
The brand new electrical container handler not solely eliminates the emissions sometimes related to diesel-powered gear, but additionally the noise. The operator surroundings is complemented by a spacious, ergonomically designed cab that gives wonderful visibility via curved entrance and rear home windows with tempered glass and an armoured overhead window, serving to optimise productiveness.
A full-colour 7-inch built-in efficiency show and intuitive management format help ease of use and operator confidence, even in complicated dealing with situations. Operators will profit from commonality between the brand new mannequin’s controls, and people discovered throughout different Hyster Large Vehicles and container handlers, streamlining the shift to utilizing electrical gear.
Constructed for sturdiness in harsh container dealing with environments, the Hyster J6-7XD-EC3/4 electrical empty container handlers function a rugged chassis, and simplified service entry. With the proper coaching, technicians can entry all excessive voltage parts behind detachable panels. What’s extra, the lithium-ion battery is maintenance-free. Altogether, this helps minimise operational downtime and contributes to a decrease whole price of possession.
