Customer Testimonial

5 Star Google Review

We took delivery of our brand new multi directional forklift today, supplied by JD forklifts, the process was seamless from beginning to delivery which included a very detailed handover from Ross & Michael. I can't recommend this company enough and look forward to building our fleet with JD as our company expands.

Description

Hangcha XE438 Premium Electric Lithium Counterbalance Forklift

The Hangcha XE438 Premium Electric Lithium Counterbalance Forklift is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, and reliability for demanding warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, and outdoor applications. With a 3,800kg lifting capacity, this premium specification combines Hangcha's advanced Enpower permanent magnet drive system, heavy-duty construction, and intelligent lithium technology to provide diesel-like performance with significantly lower running and maintenance costs.

Powered by Hangcha's latest Enpower AC drive system and AC transmission, the XE438 offers smooth acceleration, responsive hydraulic performance, and outstanding energy efficiency, consuming up to 20% less energy than conventional AC electric forklifts. The EVE 304Ah lithium-ion battery provides maintenance-free operation and supports opportunity charging, while the integrated onboard charger allows the truck to be conveniently charged from a suitable mains supply without requiring a separate external charger.

This model is equipped with a 4.3m Full Free Lift Triplex Mast, making it ideal for loading containers, trailers, and operating in low-clearance environments without sacrificing lift height. Combined with 1150mm forks and an integrated side shift, operators can position loads quickly and accurately, improving productivity while reducing handling times. The wide-view mast design further enhances forward visibility for safer, more efficient operation.

Designed for all-weather performance, this specification features a full weatherproof cab, providing excellent protection from the elements while maintaining outstanding visibility and operator comfort. The spacious ergonomic operator compartment, intuitive controls, colour LCD display, and refined layout help reduce fatigue and maximise productivity throughout long working shifts.

For enhanced fleet management and security, the XE438 comes equipped with Hangcha FIMS telematics, enabling real-time monitoring of truck utilisation, location, maintenance schedules, and access control. A full road lighting package is also included, allowing safe operation and travel between buildings and across private industrial sites.

Finished in Hangcha's distinctive orange and built for maximum uptime, the Hangcha XE438 Premium Electric Lithium Counterbalance Forklift delivers outstanding lifting performance, advanced lithium technology, and exceptional reliability for intensive material handling operations. It is backed by a 3-year truck warranty and 6-year / 12,000-hour lithium battery warranty, providing complete peace of mind and a low total cost of ownership.

    It depends on factors like aisle width, lift height, load weight, and how frequently the equipment will be used. We’re happy to help assess your needs and recommend the ideal solution.
