Description

Hyundai Forklift 40B-X | 4 ton

The Hyundai 40B-X is part of the “Next Generation” B-X series of heavy-duty electric counterbalance forklifts.
Designed to compete directly with 4-ton diesel models, it features a high-voltage system and IP-rated components for both indoor and outdoor use.
Below are the technical specifications for the 4-ton (4,000 kg) unit:

Performance & Electrical

Load Capacity: 4,000 kg (4 tons).
Load Center: 500 mm.
System Voltage: High-voltage system (typically 309.1V).
Battery Type: Lithium-ion (LFP).
Drive Motor: Dual PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) for high efficiency.
Travel Speed (Unloaded): Up to 26 km/h (approx. 16.1 mph).
Gradeability (Loaded): Approx. 23%.

Dimensions & Maneuverability

Overall Width: 1,370 mm.
Turning Radius: 2,670 mm (designed with a tighter radius than standard diesel models).
Length to Fork Face: 2,995 mm.
Overhead Guard Height: 2,225 mm.
Standard Lift Height: ~3,000 mm (can vary with mast options up to 6,500 mm).

Key Features

All-Weather Ready: IP67-rated motors and IP69K-rated controllers allow operation in rain, snow, and extreme cold.
Advanced Safety: Includes Curve Control (auto-slows in turns), Anti-Rollback for slopes, and an Operator Presence Sensing System (OPSS).
Cabin Comfort: Features a Grammer™ suspension seat, dual brake pedals for intuitive “two-foot” driving, and a 12V/USB power socket.
Maintenance: Sideways battery entry for quick swaps and a digital LCD monitor for real-time diagnostics and battery management.

Comparison Note

You may occasionally see references to the 40B-9. While similar in capacity, the 40B-X is the newer high-voltage Li-ion variant specifically engineered to match the performance of internal combustion (diesel/LPG) forklifts, whereas the older 9-series typically used 80V lead-acid or standard Li-ion systems.
Would you like me to compare this specific model to its diesel equivalent (40D-9VB) or find a list of compatible mast options?
