The J1.6-2.0XN forklift series features 1.6 to 2-ton load capacities, 3–6-meter lift heights, and electric-powered operation with 36V/48V lithium or lead-acid batteries. Compact dimensions (e.g., 1,150 mm overall width) optimize maneuverability in tight spaces, while twin-drive motors enable 12–15 km/h travel speeds. Standard triple-stage masts support dual-load handling, and modular designs simplify component upgrades like mast extensions or reinforced counterweights.

What load capacity and lift height do J1.6-2.0XN forklifts offer?
The J1.6-2.0XN series supports 1.6–2.0 tons with lift heights up to 6 meters. Free lift ranges from 150–220 mm, enabling operations under low ceilings. Dual-load carriages (optional) enhance versatility for pallet double-stacking. Pro Tip: Exceeding 80% max height with full loads risks instability—always verify the load center distance on spec plates.

The J1.6-2.0XN’s load curve decreases linearly—for example, a 2.0-ton model at 3 meters lift handles 1.8 tons but drops to 1.2 tons at 6 meters. Transitional mast designs reduce hydraulic lag, ensuring smooth lifting even near max height. But how do operators balance reach and capacity? Always prioritize stability by centering loads and avoiding abrupt stops. A 2023 logistics study showed these forklifts reduced pallet damage by 30% compared to mechanical mast competitors.
| Model | Max Load (tons) | Max Lift (m) |
|---|---|---|
| J1.6XN | 1.6 | 5.5 |
| J2.0XN | 2.0 | 6.0 |
What power systems do J1.6-2.0XN forklifts use?
These forklifts utilize 36V or 48V electric motors, drawing 500–800 Ah from lithium (LiFePO4) or lead-acid batteries. The 48V variants deliver 15% more torque, crucial for gradient driving. Regenerative braking recovers 10–15% energy during deceleration—key for multi-shift operations. Pro Tip: LiFePO4 batteries last 2,000+ cycles but require BMS-compatible chargers.

J1.6-2.0XN motors generate 10–12 kW continuous power, peaking at 18 kW during acceleration. In practice, a 48V 600Ah LiFePO4 pack (28.8 kWh) sustains 6–8 hours of mixed usage. Comparatively, lead-acid batteries add 200–300 kg, reducing payload capacity. But what if operators need faster charging? Lithium packs accept 1C rates (0–100% in 1 hour) vs. lead-acid’s 8-hour minimum.
| Feature | LiFePO4 | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 2,000+ | 500–800 |
| Charge Time | 1–2 hrs | 8+ hrs |
How maneuverable are J1.6-2.0XN forklifts?
With a 1,150 mm overall width and 1.8-meter turning radius, these forklifts navigate 2.5-meter aisles comfortably. The rear-axle oscillates ±3° to maintain traction on uneven surfaces, while 200 mm ground clearance handles minor obstacles. Pro Tip: Use “turtle mode” (5 km/h) in congested zones to prevent tip-overs.
The J2.0XN’s dual AC motors enable precise speed-torque control—essential for narrow-aisle reversing. For example, in a 3-meter-wide corridor, operators can U-turn without shuttling. However, how does weight distribution affect handling? The 48V lithium models centralize mass better, improving stability by 12% versus lead-acid versions. Transitional software limits rear-wheel slippage during wet floor operations, a common pain point in food warehouses.
What mast configurations are available?
Standard triple-stage masts provide 4.5–6-meter lift, while optional duplex masts achieve 7 meters for high-bay storage. Side-shifters (±100 mm) and fork positioners adjust pallet alignment without repositioning the entire forklift. Pro Tip: High-visibility mast windows reduce blind spots when stacking at maximum height.
Duplex masts use overlapping rollers to minimize collapsed height—critical for shipping containers. However, they add 120–150 kg, slightly reducing load capacity. For instance, a J2.0XN with duplex mast handles 1.8 tons at 7 meters versus 2.0 tons at 6 meters. Why choose a triple-stage over duplex? Triple stages offer smoother extension curves, ideal for frequent mid-height operations like cross-docking.
Where are J1.6-2.0XN forklifts best deployed?
Optimized for indoor warehouses with smooth floors, their cushion tires (non-marking rubber) protect surfaces. Outdoor-compatible models include pneumatic tires and IP54-rated components for light rain. Pro Tip: Avoid gravel or mud—small debris jams mast rollers, increasing maintenance costs.
In beverage distribution centers, J1.6-2.0XN models excel in 10–28°C environments. However, how do they perform in cold storage? Lithium batteries lose 15–20% capacity at -20°C, requiring pre-heating systems. Transitionally, Redway Battery offers low-temp LiFePO4 packs with built-in thermal management, sustaining 90% capacity down to -30°C.
What maintenance ensures longevity?
500-hour service intervals cover mast lubrication, brake adjustments, and battery checks. Lithium models require monthly BMS diagnostics, while lead-acid needs weekly water top-ups. Pro Tip: Replace pivot bushings every 2,000 hours to prevent steering play.
Hydraulic filters should be swapped every 1,000 hours—contaminated oil causes 40% of pump failures. For example, a major retailer extended their J2.0XN’s lifespan to 12,000 hours via strict 250-hour oil analysis. But what if operators skip inspections? Unlubricated mast chains wear 3× faster, risking catastrophic collapse under load.

FAQs
Yes, but ensure the controller supports lithium’s 48V–58.4V range. Retrofit kits with CANBus adapters are available from Redway Battery.
Are these forklifts suitable for ramps?
Yes, up to 15% gradients. Use “hill hold” mode to prevent rollback on steeper inclines.
How often should tires be replaced?
Cushion tires last 2,000–3,000 hours; pneumatics wear 30% faster on rough surfaces.
What’s the maximum lifting speed?
600 mm/sec unloaded, 450 mm/sec with 2-ton loads—adjust via the operator panel.
Do they support third-party attachments?
Yes, but overload protection deactivates—never exceed 75% of attachment’s rated capacity.
