Built for Heavy Duty Electric Work in Western Australia
The 50B-X is designed for sites that need the strength of a 5-tonne forklift engine without the fumes. It suits steel and building supply yards, ports, freight terminals, manufacturing plants, and larger warehouses across Perth and regional Western Australia, where heavy pallets, coils, and bulky loads move inside and outside.
The annual fuel and maintenance costs for the B-X are approximately 70% lower than those of equivalent diesel (ICE) models. Hyundai’s TCO data compares the B-X directly against the D-9V diesel equivalent. The break-even point arrives at Year 3. Estimated savings over 10 years reach approximately $58,000 (4–5 tonne range) to $76,000 (6–9 tonne range).
Its lithium battery comes standard, and battery heating and cooling keep performance steady through hot Western Australian summers. Tyres match those used on engine models, and an IP54-rated charger can be installed outdoors. Operators coming from diesel or LPG trucks will feel at home with dual brake pedals and a quiet, climate-controlled cabin.
Features and Benefits
The 50B-X pairs a standard lithium battery with smart safety systems and easy servicing, so you get strong, clean performance shift after shift.
Performance
Engine Model Tyre Options
It takes the same tyre options as engine powered Hyundai forklifts, giving smooth, stable handling on yards, hardstands and other outdoor surfaces.
Water-Cooled Thermal Management
A water-cooled system controls heat build up so the 50B-X keeps performing at its best through long, heavy duty shifts.
Tighter Turning Radius
The turning radius is 2.5 inches smaller than the comparable engine model, based on the 45D-9, making it easier to work in tight spaces.
Standard Lithium Battery
A high performance lithium battery comes standard, giving extended runtime and fast charging so your operators spend more time working and less time waiting.
Battery Heating and Cooling
The battery is held at the right temperature whatever the conditions outside, so performance stays steady in very hot or very cold weather.
Battery Fire Suppression
The battery is monitored in real time, charging and discharging are controlled if anything abnormal is detected, and automatic fire suppression activates when needed.
Indoor or Outdoor Charging
The IP54 rated charger resists water and dust, so it can be installed outside, and it is available in 20, 40 or 120 kW options.
Convenience
LCD Cluster Display
A clear LCD cluster shows battery level, machine temperature and warning messages in real time, and lets operators change driving modes to suit the job.
Quieter Operator Cabin
A low noise design cuts cabin noise by 12 dB compared with similar engine models, creating a calmer, more comfortable and safer place to work.
Consistent Heating and Cooling
Cabin heating and cooling run at full strength regardless of motor speed or coolant temperature, keeping operators comfortable all day in any season.
Dual Brake Pedals
Two brake pedals allow two foot driving, so operators used to engine powered forklifts can switch across easily and work with confidence.
Safety
Pedestrian Detection System
A camera spots people near the forklift and highlights them in yellow on the monitor, giving the operator a clear warning to help prevent collisions.
Blue Spot and Red Zone
A blue light projected ahead warns pedestrians the forklift is coming, while red lighting marks a safety boundary around the machine to help prevent accidents.
Servicing and Uptime
High Voltage Cut-Off Switch
A Main Service Disconnect lets technicians isolate the high voltage system before work begins, making maintenance safer and more straightforward.
Gas Strut Rear Cover
The rear cover opens and closes easily on gas springs, giving technicians quick, effortless access during routine maintenance.
Easy Access Sub Bonnet
The sub bonnet opens and closes with little effort, so internal inspections and servicing are quicker and the forklift gets back to work sooner.
