2025 Big Joe Forklifts Forklifts LXE50

Many businesses know that it takes Lithium-ion to get the most efficiency, uptime and cost effectiveness out of an electric forklift. And now customers are learning that it takes an integrated power source for simplicity of operation and optimal ergonomics. The Big Joe LXE50 delivers all of the above—an optimal package that supports the operator while driving down cost of operations. Big Joe is one of the few suppliers to develop and produce both forklift and battery, so customers have one expert supplier to help from end to end.

Features may include:

• The UL-recognized Lithium-ion battery is designed and manufactured by Big Joe, in our state-of-the-art, automated facility to deliver the highest levels of quality, durability and reliability. The battery pairs seamlessly with the truck, requiring no additional displays, connection ports, power buttons or other complications. Simply buckle up, turn the key, release the parking brake and go.

• The Lithium-ion battery is completely maintenance-free. That means no watering, toxic fumes or corrosive and explosive gases. And you only need one battery per truck—no cranes, hoists or roller systems for swapping batteries are required. This simplicity not only saves space in your warehouse—it also reduces overhead since staffing doesn’t need to be dedicated to battery services. And since the battery can fully recharge in two hours and doesn’t need to cool down after charging, your truck can spend more time working.

• Dual AC drive motors deliver fine inching control when precision matters, while also delivering high torque and smooth acceleration when it’s time to get moving. When it’s time to stop, regenerative motor braking recharges the battery, while standard wet disc brakes provide additional brake performance when needed. Operators can appreciate the performance and lack of engine noise. Business owners can appreciate the lack of fuel costs and not needing to worry about unexpected - and expensive - engine breakdowns.

• The operator reaps the benefits of a wide-open operator compartment, large step and natural operating position, all thanks to the integrated design of the battery. Cowl-mounted hydraulic levers are designed to make it easy to get on and off the truck from either side. The long step and open space will be welcome features for operators accustomed to typical electric forklifts designed around bulky lead acid batteries.

• Big Joe AC controller technology delivers high performance efficiently while significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending the vehicle’s service life. The battery management system continuously monitors performance during operation and charging to optimize the battery’s service life.
