The EFL703 is a 7.0-ton high-capacity Li-ion forklift combining massive strength with electric precision. Equipped with a 96 V / 560 Ah Li-ion battery, it offers long runtime, high torque output, and excellent gradeability, enabling it to replace diesel models in even the most demanding environments.
High-voltage Li-ion batteries have high energy density and can store more electrical energy within a compact volume. High-voltage systems consume less energy and provide longer battery running time comparing low-voltage systems. Notably, these high-voltage Li-ion batteries boast an impressive cycle life of up to 4000 cycles, ensuring long-term durability and minimizing the need for battery replacements.
The PMSMs incorporate advanced control technology to optimize motor efficiency. Unlike traditional AC motors, PMSMs have higher energy conversion efficiency and reduce energy waste. This means that high-capacity trucks can work continuously for prolonged hours at lower costs.
Equipped with fast charging capabilities, high-capacity trucks offer a remarkable charging experience. The high-voltage models are compatible with vehicle-grade charging stations and support 1C charging rating, allowing them to be fully charged in as fast as 1-1.2 hours. This minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity, making it ideal for multi-shift operations
Lithium batteries present considerably lower charging costs than fuel expenses. The integration of high-voltage and PMSM technology achieves up to 15% greater electricity savings versus traditional lithium and AC technology configurations. This significantly reduces long-term energy consumption costs.
Energy Efficiency: extended runtime and fast charging
Both high-voltage lithium batteries and PMSM employ multiple protective measures to ensure safe operations including overcharge protection, over-temperature monitoring, short-circuit protection, etc. minimizing the risk of potential hazards and maximizing operational safety.
The central controlling module- VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) extends the safety of the high-voltage forklifts. VCU provides precise control and real-time monitoring of critical parameters to ensure the truck operates within safe limits.
It also features turn speed control, which adjusts the forklift's speed based on the turning angle, ensuring stability during turns. An over-speed alarm alerts the operator if the forklift exceeds the safe speed limit.*
The high-capacity forklift mast is equipped with a hydraulic buffering system that ensures smooth lifting and lowering of loads. With controlled deceleration, the fork movement is smooth with no abrupt stops that could damage the load or cause operator discomfort. This feature enhances operational safety and prolongs the lifespan of the mast components.
Safety Assured: Battery, motor protection, monitoring and mast buffering
Operating at a higher voltage allows the battery to be designed with fewer individual cells. With fewer components and a simpler design, the risk of battery failure is lowered.
Thanks to advanced BMS (Battery Management System) which helps to regulate and monitor high-voltage battery, these batteries tend to have a longer life than low-voltage lithium batteries, reducing the need of battery replacement.
The brushless, simple rotor design of PMSM eliminates mechanical wear from brushes and commutators. This durable, low-friction construction requires minimal periodic maintenance, reducing associated labor costs and downtime.
Low maintenance: Longer battery life span
Experience uninterrupted productivity through rain, puddles, and damp conditions with the overall IPX4 rating. Plus an exceptional IP67 rating for high-voltage components. Engineered to withstand harsh temperature, high-capacity trucks offer an ambient temperature range of -20℃~40℃ allowing them to perform no matter climate.
Battery heating when charging comes as a standard function for high capacity models, which is activated when the surrounding temperature is below zero to always offer an optimal temperature range for efficient and safe charging even in cold weather conditions.
The dual front wheels is a standard configuration on several models offering a wider base of support, which greatly improves the forklift's stability. Considering the capacity loads of the high-capacity trucks, the weight of the load is more evenly distributed across a larger surface area. The increased ground contact area provided by the dual wheels enhances traction. This is particularly beneficial in environments where the floor may be slippery or uneven while operating outdoors, ensuring that the forklift can maintain a firm grip and operate safely. This not only helps in maintaining balance but also minimizes the stress on individual tires, extending the lifespan of the tires.
Strong adaptability adaptable to harsh outdoor weather conditions
Application
Perfect for steel mills, ports, and heavy-logistics terminals, the EFL703 handles extreme loads with confidence and stability. Its dual-motor PMSM drive, reinforced mast, and rugged chassis ensure reliability in high-load, long-distance, or outdoor operations. Designed for productivity and safety, it provides smooth control and low noise for both operator and environment.
