15BT-9U – 1.5 Ton Electric Forklift

The Hyundai 15BT-9U has a rated load capacity of 1,500 kg at a 500 mm load centre — making it suitable for standard warehouse pallet loads, retail stockroom operations, and light industrial material handling across UAE facilities.

The 15BT-9U operates on a 48V electric powertrain and is compatible with both conventional lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries — with no additional cost of modification required for lithium-ion conversion. Lithium-ion provides faster charging, longer cycle life, and reduced battery maintenance for UAE operations running multiple shifts.

Yes. The 15BT-9U three-wheel design delivers a tight 1,540 mm turning radius and a compact 1,074 mm overall width — enabling efficient operation in narrow warehouse aisles and confined storage areas where standard four-wheel forklifts cannot manoeuvre effectively. It is one of the most compact counterbalance electric forklifts in its class.

The 15BT-9U travels at up to 16 km/h both loaded and unloaded — providing consistent travel speed across UAE warehouse floors and indoor logistics facilities for productive full-shift operation.

The 15BT-9U is a battery-powered electric forklift designed for indoor use — delivering zero emissions, quiet operation, and lower running costs in UAE warehouses, cold storage facilities, and enclosed distribution centres where air quality and noise are operational requirements. A diesel forklift is fuel-powered and suited to outdoor construction sites, industrial yards, and operations requiring higher capacity or all-day outdoor use without battery charging downtime.

Yes. Electric forklifts including the 15BT-9U are the standard choice for UAE cold storage and food distribution facilities — where zero emissions are required inside refrigerated storage areas and diesel engine operation is not permitted due to air quality and safety regulations.

The 15BT-9U is equipped with a 14.9 kW hoist motor — delivering smooth, controlled lifting and lowering of loads up to 1,500 kg with responsive hydraulic performance across full operating shifts.

Yes. The 15BT-9U features an Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system that operates only when the steering wheel is actively turned — eliminating unnecessary energy consumption during straight-line travel and reducing overall battery drain per shift. Steering sensitivity is programmable by the operator to match specific warehouse aisle widths and operating conditions.

The standard lift height of the 15BT-9U is 3,300 mm with a simplex mast configuration. Different mast options and lift heights are available to match specific UAE warehouse racking heights and storage configurations. Contact Al Shirawi Trading to confirm the right mast specification for your operation.

The 15BT-9U is fitted with solid superelastic (SE) tyres as standard — providing puncture-proof performance, low rolling resistance, and smooth operation on sealed indoor warehouse floors across UAE facilities.
