The new heavy-duty BYD ECB 70/80 is BYD’s flagship high-capacity forklift that extends the capabilities already established by its 5-tonne model to unprecedented new levels for lithium-powered forklifts. In industry sectors traditionally dominated by polluting diesel trucks and impractical and unwieldy lead acid battery electric forklifts, BYD’s attractive new ECB70/80, with lifting capacities up to 8 tonnes, offers all of the performance of the models it supplants with none of the drawbacks.
Compared to a diesel-powered forklift of similar capacity, the BYD ECB70/80 offers potentially huge savings thanks to its highly developed battery and charger technology. The BYD ECB70/80 is approximately €7-€8 per hour cheaper to operate than a diesel equivalent (according to data provided by competitors), meaning a typical business operating a high-capacity forklift for 2,000 hours can save up to €16,000 annually.
The BYD ECB70/80 7/8 Ton Comfort three-wheel forklift truck has the same characteristics as the Basic model, in addition to:
Multi-function armrest with fingertip control
Seat with full suspension
Mast with full free double lifting cylinders
Curve speed adjustment to improve stability and reduce risk of overturning
Brake assist when it detects that the operator is releasing the brake on a ramp or slope
Limitation of the front tilt angle to reduce the risk of load drop
When the load exceeds 10% of the set weight, the engine stops working for safety’s sake
Multifunction TFT display with scrolling speed, remaining battery capacity, clock with working hours and accumulated hours, and three speed modes
