The 24V X Series 3-Wheel Electric Lithium-ion Forklift combines agility, eco-friendly lithium-ion technology, and space-efficient design for warehouse operations. Its compact three-wheel structure enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the lithium-ion battery offers faster charging, longer lifespan, and zero emissions compared to traditional lead-acid models. Ideal for medium-duty lifting up to 3,000 lbs.

How Does the Lithium-Ion Battery Improve Performance?
The 24V lithium-ion battery reduces downtime with rapid charging (1-2 hours vs. 8+ hours for lead-acid) and eliminates watering/maintenance needs. It maintains consistent power output throughout shifts and lasts 3x longer than conventional batteries. Built-in battery management systems (BMS) prevent overheating and optimize energy use.
Lithium-ion technology also provides 30% higher energy density compared to lead-acid equivalents, enabling compact battery designs that free up space for operator comfort features. Unlike traditional batteries that require dedicated charging rooms, these units support opportunity charging during lunch breaks or shift changes. The chemistry also eliminates “voltage sag” – maintaining full lifting capacity even when charge levels drop below 20%.
| Feature | Lithium-Ion | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 2,000+ cycles | 500-1,000 cycles |
| Charge Efficiency | 97% | 85% |
| Energy Cost/Cycle | $0.08 | $0.22 |
What Maintenance Practices Extend Its Lifespan?
Daily checks should include tire pressure, fork alignment, and battery charge levels. Monthly inspections of hydraulic hoses and mast rollers are critical. Lithium-ion batteries require no equalization charging, but terminals should be cleaned quarterly. Software updates for the motor controller optimize energy efficiency and diagnostic accuracy.
Operators should prioritize mast lubrication every 250 operating hours using NSF-H1 certified grease to prevent contamination in food handling environments. The regenerative braking system requires annual inspection of its current limiter and resistor packs. For cold storage applications, conduct weekly checks on chassis condensation levels and apply dielectric grease to electrical connectors every 6 months.
“The 24V X Series redefines warehouse efficiency by merging lithium-ion’s rapid recharge capability with a maneuverability-focused chassis. Unlike older models, operators can opportunity-charge during breaks without battery memory effect. For companies prioritizing ESG goals, its carbon footprint is 60% lower than lead-acid counterparts over a 10-year lifecycle.” – Redway Logistics Technology Analyst
