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. 

 

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. And since the battery can fully recharge in two hours and doesn’t need to cool down after charging, your truck can spend more time working.¹ 

A Drivetrain for High Productivity and Low Operating Cost 
Dual AC drive motors deliver fine inching control when precision matters, while also delivering high torque and smooth acceleration when it’s time to get moving. When it’s time to stop, regenerative motor braking recharges the battery, while standard wet disc brakes provide additional brake performance when needed. 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. 

1 2-hour charge time is based on the use of a 200A offboard charger operating under ideal conditions with proper power supplied to the charger. Actual charge times can increase in adverse environmental conditions or if sufficient power is not provided to the charger.

Charging Options for your Application 
Unlike some other suppliers, Big Joe provides— and supports—the forklift, battery and charger. LXE50 is available with a range of chargers, from a single-phase 120V/240V option that plugs into a typical wall outlet, to a 16kW industrial charger that reduces charge times. Each charger easily plugs into the integrated charge port on the side of the truck for fast, intuitive operation.

Operator Compartment: Your Employee’s Office 
The operator reaps the benefits of a wide-open operator compartment, large step and natural operating position, all thanks to the integrated design of the battery. Cowl-mounted hydraulic levers are designed to make it easy to get on and off the truck from either side. The long step and open space will be welcome features for operators accustomed to typical electric forklifts designed around bulky lead acid batteries.

Advanced Electrical System

When maintenance is required, features like removable covers and a design philosophy centered on simplicity help make the technician’s job easier.
