When your team requires the strength of Hulk and the finesse of a ballet dancer to handle everything—from stacking containers, picking up ultra-heavy loads or navigating tight spaces in big bulk handling environments—there's a constant challenge, keeping the forklifts running efficiently across multiple shifts.

Every few hours, a forklift operator pulls into the charging station, disconnects the heavy lead-acid battery, and swaps it out for a freshly charged one. This process is time-consuming, labour-intensive, and disrupts the workflow. Moreover, lead-acid batteries are notorious for their slow charging and high maintenance and require a dedicated charging room due to their emitting toxic fumes. Productivity is hampered, and operational uptime is impacted. The reliance on traditional lead-acid batteries is causing significant operational inefficiencies and increasing costs.

Hammer introduces the XH Series, Australia's first 16-ton electric forklift with a high-voltage lithium battery. This revolutionary forklift integrates the best features of electric and internal combustion forklifts, leveraging advanced automobile voltage technology to offer unmatched efficiency, power, and reliability.

With an impressive voltage of 541V and a maximum gradeability of 30%, the XH Series can easily handle the toughest tasks. Its IPX4 water resistance and IP67 protection rate ensure durability in all conditions, while the three-speed models allow for versatile performance, including a travel speed of 27 km/h.

A key advantage of the XH Series is its compatibility with opportunity charging. Unlike lead-acid batteries, which degrade quickly when charged intermittently, lithium-ion batteries excel with short, frequent charges. This allows operators to recharge during breaks or shift changes without removing the battery, eliminating the need for dedicated charging rooms and freeing up valuable space for other uses.

Moreover, lithium-ion batteries charge four times faster than lead-acid batteries, ensuring forklifts are back in operation quickly, which is crucial for multi-shift operations​  enhanced efficiency reduces downtime and lowers the total cost of ownership by minimising maintenance and maximising battery lifespan​ 

Implementing the XH Series forklift can transform your big bulk handling operations. The need for battery swaps is eliminated, and the charging process becomes seamless and efficient. The forklifts run longer, require less maintenance, and contribute to a safer working environment. Productivity increases and operational costs decrease significantly.

The XH Series stands as a testament to Hammer's commitment to innovation, providing a powerful, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for modern material handling needs, and setting a new standard for the future of industrial equipment.
