BYD debuts warehouse range at IMHX

Renowned as a manufacturer and global supplier of industry-leading pure electric vehicles, BYD's proven Iron-Phosphate battery technology is at the heart of its new, attractive range of warehouse equipment. All of the equipment on show at IMHX features BYD's industry-leading eight-year or 10,000-hour (whichever comes first) battery warranty. Together with other BYD businesses producing electric buses, coaches, automobiles and commercial vehicles, BYD Forklifts are making a significant move to bring zero emissions to the transport and warehousing sector both in the UK and globally.

With maintenance-free operation and up to 40% reduction in energy use, BYD fork lift trucks are particularly well-suited for multi-shift applications, and enable both distribution partners and operators to make an easy investment decision.

The line-up of BYD warehouse trucks at IMHX includes the new BYD PTW20S Pedestrian Pallet Truck; featuring a compact design, great manoeuvrability and an on-board charger as standard enabling charging during transportation, the agile PTW20S is ideal for safe, efficient and silent urban on-truck deliveries as it is relatively lightweight at 500kg, yet offers a generous 2000kg lifting capacity.

It will be joined on-stand by the BYD PTP20S Stand-On Pallet Truck; the second-generation PTP20S is a completely re-engineered high-speed stand-on pallet truck, featuring superior stability, flexibility, and a floating driving system for optimal traction. With a 2000kg load capacity, the compact BYD PTP20S has foldable side bars and platform so can be used in pedestrian mode when operating space is restricted.
