HANDLING
THE BYD DIFFERENCE

Three parts.
One electric system.

The truck, battery, and charger are engineered together. That’s where the BYD material handling story begins.

Battery expertise.
Built in.

Lithium iron phosphate chemistry is at the heart of the BYD equipment lineup. A Battery Management System monitors the battery and coordinates operation with the truck and charger.

Designed together.
Working together.

BYD supplies the truck, battery, and charger as an integrated platform. Equipment selection starts with the complete application, from your first load to your last shift.

Explore the features
BUILT INTO THE TRUCK

Engineered in.
Every detail.

From the operator’s grip to the battery cells, every feature is designed to make the shift safer, easier, and more productive.

  • Oversized operator assist grips
    Operator comfort

    Oversized operator assist grips

    Large operator assist grips are designed to meet the needs of various operator sizes.

  • Optional fingertip controls
    Operator comfort

    Optional fingertip controls

    Optional fingertip controls increase productivity and reduce operator fatigue.

  • Soft lowering
    Control & safety

    Soft lowering

    Gives operators speed control of the heaviest and lightest loads.

  • Clear-view mast
    Control & safety

    Clear-view mast

    Great visibility through the mast. The low-profile front cowl also results in enhanced forward visibility.

  • Slope hold and vehicle stability
    Control & safety

    Slope hold and vehicle stability

    Slope hold keeps the truck from rolling after the brake is released on a ramp or slope. Stability control reduces the chance of losing a load and roll-over.

  • Dual 3-phase AC brushless motors
    Power & durability

    Dual 3-phase AC brushless motors

    Weatherproof dual 3-phase AC brushless motors produce high power and torque and allow greater maneuverability.

  • Solid pneumatic tires
    Power & durability

    Solid pneumatic tires

    Solid pneumatic tires are ideal for even the harshest terrain.

  • Iron phosphate battery
    Power & durability

    Iron phosphate battery

    BYD’s iron phosphate battery retains 70%+ capacity after 10,000 cycles and lasts over 15 years, with no replacement needed within the life expectancy of the truck.

Features and options vary by model and configuration. Confirm availability for your equipment with your dealer.

THIRD-GENERATION CHARGING

A smarter charger.
Silicon carbide inside.

BYD’s newest charger generation replaces the IGBT switching of earlier models with silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET power electronics. The result is higher efficiency, cooler operation, and electronics built for long-term reliability.

WHY SILICON CARBIDE

Less lost as heat.
More delivered to the battery.

Higher efficiency

SiC MOSFETs switch with lower losses than IGBTs, so more of the input power reaches the battery.

Cooler running

Less heat to manage inside the cabinet, supported by forced air cooling and a dedicated heatsink assembly.

Built to last

Lower thermal stress on the power electronics supports dependable, long-term charging performance.

NEW CHARGING GUN

Locked in while it charges.
Protected when it heats up.

The new BYD charging gun adds two safeguards right at the point of connection.

Electronic interlocking latch

An electronic latch locks the gun in place while the battery is charging, so it can’t be unplugged mid-charge. This protects the operator, the connector, and the battery.

Built-in temperature sensors

Sensors in the connector monitor temperature and reduce charger output if it climbs too high, helping prevent damage to the charging system.

BUILT-IN PROTECTION

Nine safeguards,
every charge.

The charger monitors its input, output, temperature, and charge time, and stops safely when a limit is reached.

  • Short circuit

    If the charger output is short-circuited, the charger shuts down and displays an error code.

  • Reversed battery connection

    If the battery is not connected or is reversed, the charger shuts down and displays an error code.

  • Input under-voltage and phase loss

    If input voltage drops below the preset level or a phase is lost, output stops and an error code is displayed.

  • Input over-voltage

    If input voltage exceeds the preset level, output stops and an error code is displayed.

  • Overheat

    If the charger’s temperature exceeds the preset limit, output stops.

  • Output over-current

    If output current exceeds the preset level, the charger shuts down and displays an error code.

  • Output over-voltage

    If output voltage exceeds the preset level, the charger shuts down and displays an error code.

  • Battery over-charge

    When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops output and shows that charging is complete.

  • Charging over-time

    If charging time exceeds the preset limit, the charger shuts down automatically.

Specifications for the 208 VAC charger are available from your dealer.

BYD 110 V portable charger plugged into a BYD electric forklift in a warehouse
110 V · STANDARD WALL OUTLET
110 V PORTABLE CHARGER

The forklift you can
charge anywhere.

A compact charger that plugs into an ordinary wall outlet. Wherever there is power, the truck can charge: at the dock, in a back room, or at a job site with no charging infrastructure at all.

Charging

110 V wall plug, no special wiring

The charger plugs into a standard single-phase outlet, the same kind you already use for office and shop equipment. There is no three-phase supply to run, no dedicated charging room to build, and no electrician visit to schedule before the first charge.

  • Standard 120 V single-phase outlet, 15 A maximum input
  • Portable: move it to the dock, the back room, or a job site
  • Start/stop controls and status display on the unit
Use an outlet on a circuit rated for the charger’s 15 A input. Your dealer can confirm the setup for your site.
Uptime

Run all day, charge overnight

Plug in at the end of the shift and the truck is ready when the next one starts. Charging happens during hours the truck would sit idle anyway, so there are no battery swaps, no spare batteries to manage, and no changeover time lost in the middle of the day.

  • One plug-in at shift end
  • Opportunity top-ups during breaks
  • No battery-swapping equipment or extra batteries
Battery

Zero maintenance, 10-year warranty

BYD iron phosphate batteries need no watering or equalizing, and are backed by a 10-year battery warranty, subject to terms.

Good questions.
Practical answers.

Can we charge during breaks?

BYD equipment supports opportunity charging with a compatible charger. The right charging plan depends on the selected battery, charger, supply power, and daily energy use. Your dealer can assess the application.

What power supply will we need?

BYD chargers are available for 110 V, 208 VAC, and 480 VAC input. Requirements vary by charger. Confirm input voltage, phase, current, and installation requirements for the exact charger before planning electrical work. The 110 V portable charger runs from a standard single-phase outlet.

How do we choose the right battery size?

Start with your operating hours, load profile, travel distances, temperatures, and available charging windows. These details help your dealer size the system for your work.

What warranty applies?

Ask your dealer for the current warranty document for the specific equipment and battery configuration. Coverage, time and hour limits, exclusions, and capacity conditions depend on the applicable terms. See warranty coverage
