Make It Yours
Already well appointed, the BX can be customized
to meet your specific needs
Dependable Drive Unit
Our brushless AC induction drive
motor has fewer parts to maintain
and is perfectly matched to a simple,
yet highly efficient, transmission. The
result? Greater dependability and
higher performance.
Reduce Downtime through
Self-Diagnostics
Integrated on-board diagnostics
provide immediate truck status. Its
intuitive dialogue display combined
with accessible service history reduce
troubleshooting time, so the unit is
back in operation faster. Everything
is done through a smart LCD panel.
No handset device is needed.
Up Your
UpTime
Stay Cool
Built-in thermal sensors help protect the motor and controller systems,
promoting more reliable performance. A warning will flash on the LCD
screen to advise the operator if overheating has occurred, followed by
reduced travel and lift operations. Information is automatically locked into
the truck’s service history to assist the technician and speed servicing.
Simplified Battery Maintenance & Replacement
Gas stay assist keeps the hood open nearly 90 degrees
making routine battery maintenance and change-outs faster.
Optional rollout design* further simplifies battery removal.
* Available on cushion models.
Reliable AC Technology
The BX Series is powered by our
100% AC motor and hydraulics
systems. With better cooling
capacity and greater reliability even
in humid environments, AC power
delivers more consistent and higher
performance throughout the shift on
a single battery charge for more
uptime and greater productivity.

Improved Control and
Security
Maneuverability during reverse
driving is easier with an optional
secure assist grip. It helps keep
the operator’s hand inside the
compartment where it belongs.
A horn button is included.
Our Seat Supports Your Driver
and Your Productivity
The lumbar support and weight
adjustments create customized
comfort for the operator, while a non-
cinching seatbelt allows a wider range
of movement. The full suspension
design absorbs shocks for a smoother,
more comfortable ride — and it’s all
standard on BX Series forklifts.
Seat and backrest cushions can be
individually replaced. Cloth or vinyl
available.

3+1 Performance Modes = Greater Productivity
The BX Series features adjustable settings to optimize performance based on the application, work
environment or operator experience. Choose from the three factory-set modes (shown below) to easily
customize your lift truck. The BX also has a manual mode to create unique settings, finely tuned for your
operator and operation.
Fast Acceleration, Travel and
Lift Speeds
Use the high performance setting
to reach top speeds and optimize
productivity. Program the truck’s
response time through its Flex-Logic
system for quicker acceleration.

Tackle the Tough Jobs with BX Pneumatics
In addition to most of the same standard features available on
the cushion tire series, pneumatic tire BX trucks have a wider
stance and higher under clearance for more rugged applications.
Available in eight models, ranging from 3000 to 5000 lbs. lifting
capacities. (Includes larger battery compartment models.)
Rugged UniCarriers Designed and Manufactured Mast
Our mast features rolled steel channels and thick inner rails for
increased capacity retention. Side thrust rollers on the fork carriage
are easily accessed for carriage adjustment.

Our Overhead Guard
Reduces Your Overhead
Beyond ample headroom, the five-piece
overhead guard takes 75% less time
to make needed replacements versus
competitors’ single-piece, welded-on
guards. That cuts downtime and costs.

Savings

Fewer Motors to Maintain
The 100% AC-powered system on the
BX features brushless drive and pump
motors and a single contactor. The
steering system is electronically
controlled and powered through the
hydraulics, thus eliminating the need
for — and added expense of —
a separate steering motor.
Programmed Savings
Program the forklift’s settings so
travel speed is reduced once the
driver’s foot is removed from the
accelerator during operation. This
standard deceleration feature draws
less energy and extends brake life.
Minimize Preventable Repairs
Operators are more likely to perform regular lift truck
inspections if they are easy to do. Access to hydraulic
and brake fluids is convenient, making daily checks
or required refills simple, so operators can focus on
the job ahead.
Two-piece diamond tread floorboard
includes door to access brake fluid for
visual level inspection and refills.
Remove rear panel for access to the
controller for inspection and planned
maintenance.
Side panel located behind left entry
step offers access to relays and
fuses.
Save Precious Battery Power
Industrial batteries can be a significant part of your operational expenses. The BX incorporates power
saving features to optimize battery usage so you can get the most out of your investment.
Advanced regenerative technology reclaims power from
five different operations, lowering power consumption and
reducing component wear through less heat generation —
to keep your equipment operating longer, with less time in
the charging bay.
An auto power-off cuts the electrical system if the forklift
sits idle. Select an allowable idle time between 15 and 60
minutes before the vehicle powers down.
On-demand power steering system draws battery power
only when required.

Seeing is Believing
Cylinders are positioned behind the mast
rails resulting in fewer visual obstructions
for the operator. Ideal for facilities that
transport delicate loads, our optional
OptiView® mast makes fork positioning
and load handling easier.
Safety Doesn’t Have
to be Complicated
Unlike the complex systems offered
by some competitors, our cushion
stability control is simple, extremely
effective and zero maintenance —
enhanced lateral stability is achieved
by a rubber damper placed between
the axle and frame.
Password Protected Security
Using a PIN code/password entry feature
helps assure that only authorized drivers
are operating your BX. Up to five unique
performance settings can be created,
based on application and/or individual
operator skill level.
LIFT-LOCK
TILT-LOCK
Operator Presence System
This comprehensive system includes a
seat-actuated power interrupt with mast-
lock, automatically preventing lift and tilt
operations if the operator leaves the seat.
The return-to-neutral feature minimizes
forklift movement if the operator leaves the
truck while still in gear. Other audible and
visual warnings come standard, including
parking brake warning and seatbelt alarm.
Forward Thinking
Back Up Alarm
Our back-up alarm provides plenty of
notice to pedestrians and other drivers
in the area. For applications with varying
noise levels, there is an optional self-
adjusting alarm that adjusts sound
volume based on ambient noise levels.
Reverse driving actuates optional
blue spotlight to illuminate the floor,
for advanced visual warning.
Rubber damper
provides enhanced
stability and
easier handling
‘ES’ Rating is standard on all BX cushion models, offering extra safeguards
to the electrical system. Compare against competitive models that charge
extra for this. An optional ‘EE’ Rating is also available.
Control

Automotive-Style Parking
Brake with Warning
As part of the Operator Presence
System, a warning buzzer alerts the
driver if he leaves the seat without
first setting the brake. Conveniently
located, the foot-activated design
makes it easy for the operator to
quickly depress the pedal to apply
the brake. A display indicates when
the brake is engaged. Includes a
simple hand release.
Maintain Control
When operating on inclines, our Controlled
Rollback feature uses regenerative braking to
automatically maintain a slow, consistent speed
on a ramp or incline when the accelerator pedal
is released. This eliminates the need for continuous
brake pedal force
by the operator.

Sensitive to Your Acceleration Needs
With our exclusive Flex-Logic system, the quicker
the accelerator pedal is depressed, the faster our
BX Series 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 meter panel, for even faster or slower response.
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 BX Series— and
not available from any other forklift
brand. Separate control levers are
available at no charge.
