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 fulfill the rigorous calls for of ports, terminals, container yards, and intermodal operations whereas supporting the decarbonisation of container dealing with fleets.
In response to Hyster, this newest addition to the electrical truck vary delivers constant efficiency akin to an inside 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 business product chief, large vans for Hyster. “The transport and containerisation industries have a continued concentrate on sustainability, so the brand new empty container handler gives a versatile resolution for decreasing carbon emissions, with out compromising on throughput or dependability.”
The truck’s 350V system structure is optimised for each power effectivity and uptime, offering a sensible and cost-effective various to higher-voltage techniques. The best-sized batteries will also be configured to fulfill 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 current 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 setting is complemented by a spacious, ergonomically designed cab that provides glorious 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 structure 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 Massive Vans 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 complete value of possession.
