DOOSAN BC18S SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Doosan BC18S is an electric counterbalance forklift designed for efficient material handling with a load capacity of 3,500 lbs (1,587 kg) at a 24-inch load center. It is powered by a 10.1 hp (7 kW) electric engine, providing clean and quiet operation. The forklift features a compact footprint with an overall width of 3.1 ft (0.94 m), a length to fork face of 6.5 ft (1.98 m), and a height to the top of the overhead guard of 7.1 ft (2.16 m), making it well-suited for confined spaces and indoor use. Maneuverability is enhanced by a tight turning radius of 5.7 ft (1.74 m), allowing precise handling in narrow aisles. The BC18S is equipped with four cushion-type tires—two front and two rear—optimizing its performance on smooth surfaces such as warehouse floors. It achieves a maximum travel speed of 8.5 mph (13 kph), balancing speed and safety for typical warehouse and distribution tasks. The mast and chassis design prioritize operator visibility and ergonomics, supporting productivity and comfort during extended use. Its electric powertrain aligns with sustainable operations by reducing emissions and noise compared to internal combustion forklifts. This combination of power, compact size, and maneuverability makes the Doosan BC18S a versatile choice for various applications requiring reliable, medium-duty lifting and transport in indoor environments.
