    ProMat 2025: Big Joe Unveils New Li-Ion Forklifts

    Big Joe Forklifts today announced four new products at ProMat 2025, highlighting its focus to help customers replace internal combustion forklifts with integrated lithium models, boosting productivity and efficiency.

    New Big Joe Models

    LCE65S:

     Big Joe unveiled these new trucks at ProMat 2025 in booth #N7157.

    • Integrated Lithium-ion cushion tire forklift with 6,500 lb (2,900 kg) capacity
    • Intentionally designed to undermine ITA Class 4 cushion tire internal combustion forklifts

     LPE100S:

    • Projected to run 30% higher lift speed, 20% higher travel speed, and improved gradeability compared to its predecessor, the LPE100.
    • Aimed squarely at Class 5 pneumatic tire internal combustion forklifts, the LPE100s eliminates expensive engine maintenance and unexpected costs incurred by applications handling load weights up to 10,000 lb (4,500 kg).

    LPX155:

    • Offers permanent magnet synchronous motor control, powered by an integrated high-voltage Lithium-ion battery.
    • Expected to exceed internal combustion competitor performance.
    • Multiple cooling systems keep core components cool for reliable operation in high-throughput applications, while handling loads up to 15,500 lb in indoor/outdoor environments.

    Mobile Power Unit (MPU):

    • Bolsters limited grid power or acts as a power source for sites with limited or no electrical supply.
    • Liquid cooled and heated, with the ability to charge up to 3 forklifts concurrently at 60 kW total output.

    All new models and equipment will be available later this year.
