MLift FB70LU Electric Forklift 7.0t

7-Tonne Lithium-Ion Electric Forklift

There aren’t many electric forklifts that can genuinely go head-to-head with diesel at 7 tonnes. The MLIFT FB70LU is one of them. Drawing on a 76.8V lithium-ion power system, 35 kW AC drive motor, and 40 kW lift motor, it handles 7,000 kg loads with the kind of authority that heavy industry demands — while cutting out the fuel bills, exhaust emissions, and engine servicing that come with conventional alternatives. For operations running diesel at this capacity and looking hard at their energy and maintenance costs, the FB70LU makes a genuinely compelling case for going electric.

Features & Benefits

Maintenance-Free Lithium-Ion Battery

Available in 554Ah, 689Ah, or 912Ah configurations, the lithium battery supports opportunity charging across heavy-duty multi-shift operations.

Stability at Scale

Engineered to stay planted and predictable under maximum loads — even in fast-paced industrial environments.

AC Drive Control System

Full AC drive control delivers smooth, precise acceleration and deceleration, with regenerative braking feeding energy back into the battery.

Operator Environment Built for Long Shifts

A 1,430 mm seat height, wide overhead guard at 2,560 mm, and clear mast sightlines keep operators comfortable and in control.

Hydraulic Service Brake

Hydraulic braking provides stable, reliable stopping performance — essential when regularly handling loads at the upper end of the machine’s capacity.

Low Maintenance Running Costs

The AC electric drivetrain significantly reduces the scheduled maintenance burden compared to diesel equivalents, lowering total costs over the machine’s life.
