Integrated Lithium: Power That Means Business
The UL-recognized Lithium-ion battery is designed and manufactured by Big Joe, in our state-of-the-art, automated facility to deliver the highest levels of quality, durability and reliability. The battery pairs seamlessly with the truck, requiring no additional displays, connection ports, power buttons or other complications. Simply buckle up, turn the key, release the parking brake and go.
Advanced Electrical System
Big Joe AC controller technology delivers high performance efficiently while significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending the vehicle’s service life. The battery management system continuously monitors performance during operation and charging to optimize the battery’s service life.
A Drivetrain for High Productivity and Low Operating Cost
The AC drive motor delivers fine inching control when precision matters, while also delivering high torque and smooth acceleration when it’s time to get moving. Regenerative motor braking helps to reclaim energy, increasing run time and improving efficiency. Operators can appreciate the performance and lack of engine noise. Business owners can appreciate the lack of fuel costs and not needing to worry about unexpected—and expensive—engine breakdowns.

Charging Made Easy
Every LCE50S forklift comes standard with an onboard charger that plugs into a typical single-phase 120V or 240V wall outlet, allowing you to recharge almost anywhere. For operations that require faster charge rates, offboard chargers that conveniently connect to the truck’s integrated charge port are available.

Operator Compartment: Your Employee’s Office
The operator reaps the benefits of a wide-open operator compartment, large step, chamfered hood and natural operating position, all thanks to the integrated design of the battery. For operators accustomed to internal combustion forklifts, LCE50S feels natural.

Smooth and Efficient Hydraulic Controls
Ergonomic controls are within easy reach of the operator and allow for smooth, precise load control. Energy efficiency is optimized since the hydraulic pump only activates when flow is needed and utilizes proportional control.

Remote Work Isn’t Just for the Office
LCE50S comes standard with a digital LCD display that enables wireless programming and diagnostics via Bluetooth or the standard telematics system that includes cloud-based maintenance monitoring, GPS tracking and related data services. When maintenance is required, features like a gas-spring assisted hood, removable floor plates and covers, and a design philosophy centered on simplicity help make the technician’s job easier.
