🔎 Designed for Daily Use, Backed by Real Experience

🧠 All-AC Drive and Regenerative Braking Logic

The FB25R-197 is powered by dual AC motors—one for traction and one for the hydraulic system. Both are brushless and enclosed, reducing heat buildup and eliminating carbon brush maintenance. Regenerative braking activates automatically when the accelerator is released or when directional input changes. This braking method uses motor resistance to gradually slow the forklift and feeds power back to the battery during each deceleration. The regenerative effect reduces reliance on mechanical braking, helping extend the life of both brake components and the drive system under high-frequency use.

📋 Controller Logic and Operator Interlocks

A centralized logic controller coordinates all drive, steering, and hydraulic functions. When the seat switch is disengaged or the emergency stop is triggered, the controller disables all outputs. Lift, tilt, and travel inputs are managed independently, preventing simultaneous conflicting actions. The LCD instrument panel is forward-angled for improved in-seat visibility and remains backlit during low-light operation. Fault codes are instantly recorded and displayed, with diagnostic memory stored for service technicians.

🔋 Lead Acid Battery Design, Charging, and Locking

The truck uses a 48V / 400Ah Lead Acid battery mounted in a side-pull tray. The tray includes mechanical latch points and reinforced rollers to prevent movement during operation. The BMS (Battery Management System) monitors charge cycles, voltage balance, and thermal behavior across all cells. If temperature exceeds safe limits or voltage drops below 20.4V, lifting and high-speed travel are disabled. Charging is performed via an onboard 24V/30A smart charger that accepts standard 110V input. Once charging begins, drive functions are automatically locked out until the cable is removed.

🛞 Steering System with Auto-Center and Safety Assist

The EPS (Electric Power Steering) system is fully electronic and requires no fluid or hydraulic pump. Steering torque is dynamically adjusted based on speed, providing lighter turns at low speeds and firmer feedback at higher speeds. When the operator releases the wheel, the system gently returns to center. The steering column is shock-isolated and includes a backup speed-limiter input, allowing optional reduced-speed profiles in sensitive warehouse areas.

🛑 Parking Brake and Ramp-Hold Protection

The electromagnetic parking brake engages automatically when the key switch is turned off, the seat is empty, or the emergency stop is pressed. On inclined surfaces, the drive controller holds the truck in position by applying braking torque through the motor. This prevents rollback and eliminates the need for manual wheel chocking during brief stops on ramps. The system also includes a brake wear detection logic that generates alerts based on cycle count, not just time.

🛠️ Maintenance Panels and Daily Inspection Points

The rear hood opens vertically, giving access to the controller, wiring harnesses, fuses, hydraulic reservoir, and brake components. Daily inspection points include:

Battery terminal torque and corrosion check
LCD display error code review before startup
Brake pedal free play and clearance (target: 0.2–0.5 in)
Tire tread integrity and inflation (if pneumatic)
Fork surface and wear plate condition

Chain tension, mast lubrication, and hydraulic filter inspection should be performed every 100–120 hours. Hydraulic oil (VG46) should be replaced annually or every 1,000 hours. The lithium battery is maintenance-free and requires no water refilling.

🧯 Fail-Safe and Limit Control Systems

The truck includes a lift limit valve that cuts off flow when the mast reaches the full 197" extension to prevent cylinder overextension. A secondary drop speed control ensures soft landings below 8 inches from ground level. In the event of hydraulic failure, the load can be manually lowered using the emergency release valve. Electronic overload protection triggers a buzzer and LED warning if load exceeds rated capacity. All motion is locked until reset.

🛡️ Warranty & Support You Can Count On

All new Xilin forklifts include a 1-year limited warranty covering the frame, AC motor, controller, and hydraulic components. The Lead Acid battery is covered for 6 months. Wear parts such as wheels, switches, and seals are covered for 3 months.

Here’s how our support works:

Within 30 days: Free parts, remote technical support, and round-trip shipping if needed
Day 31 to 1 year: Free parts and technical assistance; customer pays 50% of return freight
After 1 year: Lifetime remote support; parts and shipping quoted based on issue
