Model B40 4-Ton Electric Counterbalance Forklift | 500mm Load Center | 3000mm Standard Lift Height | Battery-Powered Sit-Down Forklift
The Model B40 is a 4-ton electric counterbalance sit-down forklift designed for medium to heavy-duty industrial material handling. Powered by a battery, it offers zero emissions, low noise, and high efficiency, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The design prioritizes operator comfort and safety, featuring an ergonomic seat, spacious operator compartment, and an adjustable steering wheel to reduce fatigue during extended use. With a compact body length of 3957mm (with forks) and a width of 1232mm, the B40 excels in narrow aisle environments. Its front track of 1000mm and rear track of 988mm, combined with a minimum turning radius of 2650mm, ensure excellent maneuverability in dense warehouse layouts. The forklift is equipped with a full-view mast and a robust overhead guard (2165mm high, 980mm from seat to guard), providing operators with clear visibility and reliable protection. It runs on pneumatic tires (front: 28x9-15, rear: 6.50-10), offering good ground adaptability and cushioning for both indoor and outdoor use. The B40 is not just a powerful handling tool but also a symbol of energy-saving and emission reduction in modern smart logistics.
The B40 delivers outstanding performance with a rated load capacity of 4000kg at a 500mm load center, making it suitable for standard pallets and large cargo. Its standard lifting height is 3000mm, with a maximum working height of 4183mm, meeting most rack storage needs. The mast tilts 6° forward and 12° backward for easy load handling and transport stability. Lift speeds are impressive: 380mm/s unloaded and 300mm/s at full load, ensuring quick cycle times. On the road, it reaches a maximum speed of 13km/h unloaded and 12km/h fully loaded, with a full-load gradability of 15% for mild slopes. Weighing 4820kg, the B40 uses a 2-wheel drive and 2-wheel steering configuration, powered by a 13.1kW drive motor and a 16.5kW oil pump motor for responsive and robust performance. The 154V/150AH high-capacity battery supports long operation periods, ideal for multi-shift work. Braking is handled by a foot brake and parking hand brake for reliable control. With a minimum right-angle stacking aisle width of 4405mm (for 1100×1100mm pallets), the B40 maximizes warehouse space utilization. It strikes an excellent balance between power and efficiency, making it a top choice for medium to heavy-duty handling tasks.
Safety is central to the B40's design. It features a high-performance hydraulic braking system with a foot brake for travel and a hand brake for parking, ensuring reliable stopping under various conditions. The mast is constructed from high-strength steel for excellent torsion and bending resistance, ensuring stable lifting. The overhead guard meets international safety standards, protecting against falling objects. The operator’s seat and control layout are intuitively designed, with all levers and gauges within easy reach to minimize operational errors. The low noise operation makes it ideal for indoor or noise-sensitive environments. Maintenance is also user-friendly: the battery compartment is easily accessible for charging and replacement, key lubrication points are clearly marked, and the standard pneumatic tires are affordable and widely available. The forklift also offers multiple attachment interfaces for adding side shifters, paper roll clamps, drum handlers, and more, expanding its versatility. Whether for daily warehouse tasks or specialized material handling, the B40 provides a safe, reliable, and flexible operating experience.

The B40 electric counterbalance forklift is widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, ports, wholesale markets, and other medium to heavy-duty material handling scenarios. With its 4-ton capacity and 3000mm lift height, it is perfect for pallet stacking, truck loading/unloading, and production line feeding. In e-commerce distribution centers, it handles high-level rack storage; in the food and beverage industry, its electric drive meets hygiene and environmental standards; and in cold storage, it operates reliably in low temperatures. Compared to internal combustion forklifts, the B40 requires no fuel and produces zero emissions, making it especially suitable for indoor or poorly ventilated areas. Its quiet operation also appeals to businesses with noise-sensitive environments. As global emphasis on green logistics and sustainability grows, efficient electric forklifts like the B40 are becoming mainstream in material handling. They help companies reduce carbon footprints while lowering energy and maintenance costs, enhancing overall operational efficiency. Whether in modern automated warehouses or traditional industrial plants, the B40 delivers reliable performance and environmental benefits, creating long-term value for users.
