What load capacities do J1.5-3.5GX models offer?
This series spans 1.5–3.5-ton variants (J1.5GX/J3.5GX), balancing precision and power for pallet stacking and container unloading. Intermediate J2.0GX/J2.5JX models handle 2–2.5 tons.

The J1.5GX suits narrow-aisle operations with its compact chassis, while the J3.5GX dominates heavy palletized loads up to 3,500 kg. Pro Tip: Verify load center specifications—some models require 500mm center adjustments for max capacity. For instance, a J2.5JX lifting 2,500kg at 600mm load center reduces effective capacity by 12%. Transitioning between models, operators must recalibrate stability parameters to match load profiles.
What propulsion system do these forklifts use?
All J1.5-3.5GX units employ 4-wheel electric drives with 999kg chassis weights, ensuring traction on uneven surfaces. Pneumatic tires (6–10 psi) absorb shocks better than cushion tires in outdoor yards.

Practical Example: A J3.0GX ascending 15% gradients with 2,800kg loads maintains 4.2 km/h via torque-optimized AC motors. Warning: Operating below 20% battery risks motor overheating during incline reversals. Transitionally, the braking system combines regenerative and mechanical components—a safety redundancy critical for descending ramps with maximum payloads.
| Model | Max Speed | Tire Type |
|---|---|---|
| J1.5GX | 6 km/h | Pneumatic |
| J3.5GX | 6 km/h | Pneumatic |
How efficient is the lifting mechanism?
The series delivers 240 mm/s lift speeds via triple-stage mast assemblies, achieving full 6m heights in 25 seconds. Dual cylinder designs minimize hydraulic fluid consumption by 18% versus single-piston systems.
Pro Tip: Regular mast roller lubrication extends chain life—neglect causes 0.3mm/hour wear during heavy cycling. For context, a J2.0GX lifting 1,200kg to 5m height 150x daily would require roller replacements every 1,200 operating hours. Transitionally, the mast’s lateral stability allows ≤2mm sway at maximum extension, critical for high-bay racking operations.
