Features

IC Level Hydraulic Performance

+

The new generation electric cushion trucks are engineered for maximum performance with 48V lithium-ion power, delivering:

 

  • Hydraulic speeds up to 110.2 FPM - outperforming electric competitors and matching IC counterparts
  • Travel speeds up to 12.5 MPH - more pallets moved per shift
  • Up to 10% greater energy efficiency with lithium-ion

 

36V Lead Acid has the lowest up-front cost and proven power you’ve come to expect

48V Lead Acid brings significant performance upgrades from previous models.

48V Lithium-ion brings greater efficiency and up to 50% faster loaded lifting speeds with lower cost of ownership for high throughput applications.

The choice is yours.

Smarter Operator Assistance

+

Maintain Control

When traveling on inclines, our Ramp Hold feature prevents rollback and Traction Boost feature draws more power to the motors temporarily to maintain consistent speeds while on ramps.

Load Stability during Travel and Lifting/Lowering

Automatic control features sense the operating conditions and respond to balance load handling productivity. Curve control senses speed and steer angle to slow the truck when needed. Passive Sway Control senses mast movement (at heights above 12.5 ft) and absorbs mast sway into the gearbox and chassis.

Sensitive to Your Acceleration Needs

Within the BXCQ control system, the quicker the accelerator pedal is depressed, the faster the lift truck will respond to your command for speed. This feature is ideal for fast paced operations and where long runs are common. Operators can also maintain a slower acceleration rate by reducing their pedal force when pedestrians are present or in more confined areas of the warehouse. In addition, the operator can adjust the acceleration rate through the Truck Tool, for even faster or slower response.

UniCarriers Exclusives

+

Single Handle Control Lever

Faster, easier and more fluid, our single handle control combines both lift and tilt functions for greater productivity. It is standard equipment on the BXCQ Series—and not available from any other forklift brand. Separate control levers are available at no charge.

Seeing is Believing

Cylinders are positioned behind the mast rails resulting in excellent visibility for the operator. Ideal for facilities that transport delicate loads, our optional OptiView® mast makes fork positioning and load handling easier.

Service & Durability

+
  • Our pair of brushless AC induction drive motors are self-contained units that incorporate robust gear boxes and a wet disc brake system. The result? Greater dependability and higher performance.
  • 500/1000 hour service intervals
  • Tool-free access to motors, pumps, and controller

Real-time Warnings & Diagnostics

Integrated onboard diagnostics provide immediate truck status. Warnings appear via icons and detail on the bottom of the screen, so troubleshooting is quick and easy and the unit is back in operation faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of the UniCarriers BXC Q Series forklift?

+
The UniCarriers BXC Q Series (BXCQ Series) is available in capacities from 4,000 lb to 8,000 lb, covering six models: BXC40Q, BXC50CQ, BXC50Q, BXC60Q, BXC65Q, and BXC80Q. This range makes it suitable for light to heavy indoor material handling operations.

Is the BXC Q Series electric or gas powered?

+
The BXC Q Series is fully electric, powered by dual brushless AC induction drive motors. It is available in 36-volt and 48-volt configurations with lead-acid batteries, and in 48-volt lithium-ion for high-throughput operations. There is no gas or LP version of this model.

What is the advantage of choosing lithium-ion over lead-acid on the BXC Q Series?

+
The 48V lithium-ion configuration delivers up to 50% faster loaded lifting speeds compared to lead-acid, eliminates watering and equalization maintenance, supports opportunity charging between shifts, and lowers total cost of ownership over the life of the truck. It is the recommended option for operations running two or more shifts per day.

How fast does the UniCarriers BXC Q Series travel?

What safety features does the BXC Q Series include?

+
The BXC Q Series includes Intelligent Curve Control, which automatically reduces travel speed when cornering, and Passive Sway Control to stabilize loads at height. The truck also features a 100-degree steering axle for tight aisle maneuverability, a wet disc brake system for reliable stopping, controlled rollback prevention, and integrated onboard diagnostics that display fault codes and warnings directly on the operator display for fast troubleshooting.
