MLift FB50LU Electric Forklift 5.0t

4-Wheel Counter-Balanced Forklift with Lithium Battery

The MLIFT FB50LU is the highest-capacity model in the FB45-50 series, delivering 5,000 kg of lifting power on a full-size four-wheel frame engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Where the FB50CLU is optimised for tighter spaces, the FB50LU’s larger frame — wider front track at 1,185 mm and heavier service weight of 7,400 kg — provides additional stability for operations regularly handling maximum loads in open industrial and yard environments. Powered by a 76.8V lithium-ion battery, 20 kW AC drive motor, and 26 kW lift motor, it delivers sustained heavy-lift performance with the running cost and maintenance advantages of a fully electric drivetrain.

Ideal For

  • Heavy industrial manufacturing and processing facilities
  • Open warehouse and distribution environments handling maximum pallet weights
  • Timber, steel, and heavy building product operations
  • Transport yards and logistics hubs running sustained 5-tonne lifting cycles
  • Operations replacing 5-tonne diesel machines with electric in open environments

Features & Benefits

High-Power AC Drive and Lift Motors

Strong, consistent performance under a full load, with the smoothness and responsiveness that AC electric systems are known for.

Lithium-Ion Battery with Opportunity Charging

The maintenance-free lithium-ion battery has no memory effect and supports opportunity charging during breaks.

Enhanced Safety Systems

Reversing alerts provide comprehensive protection in busy industrial environments and operator presence detection cuts off travel when the seat is unoccupied.

Compact Frame, Stable Under Load

The FB45LU is manoeuvrable enough for warehouse aisles while providing the stability that heavy loads demand.

Reliable Structural Strength

A reinforced chassis, robust mast structure, and solid rubber tyres as standard handle the stresses of sustained heavy lifting in industrial environments.
