Integrated Lithium: Simple and Effective
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
Dual AC drive motors enable LVE35 to pivot on its own center, which supports operation in tight spaces. Transistor motor controllers deliver smooth control for handling large or delicate loads. In addition to regenerative braking, LVE35 features maintenance-free wet disc brakes for confident stopping power.

Charging Made Easy
Every LVE35 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. Since the battery doesn’t need to cool down after charging, your truck can spend more time working. Unlike some other suppliers, Big Joe provides—and supports—the forklift, battery and charger.

A Battery without Headaches
The Lithium-ion battery is completely maintenance-free. That means no watering, toxic fumes or corrosive and explosive gases. And you only need one battery per truck—no cranes, hoists or roller systems for swapping batteries are required. This simplicity not only saves space in your warehouse—it also reduces overhead since staffing doesn’t need to be dedicated to battery services.

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.

Wireless Telematics for Operational Insights
LVE35 comes standard with onboard telematics that track key utilization metrics like key-on time, energy consumption, error codes and recharging patterns. This data can help spot missed opportunities for recharging, identify peak usage times and monitor the health of your equipment.
