This Bendi B40/48 is a 48V AC-powered articulated forklift purpose built for narrow aisle warehousing. Unlike a standard counterbalance truck, the Bendi's mid-frame articulates up to 180°, allowing the mast and forks to pivot independently of the chassis, so it can operate in aisles as narrow as 66–72", roughly half the space a conventional forklift needs, while still driving freely outside the rack system like a standard truck. This makes it a strong fit for distribution centers, cold storage facilities, manufacturing plants, and any operation converting to narrow aisle racking without investing in guided-rail VNA infrastructure. Because it doesn't require in-floor wire guidance like a true VNA turret truck, it offers the storage density benefits of narrow aisle racking with the flexibility of a free-roaming forklift. This unit runs AC drive and lift motors (more efficient and lower maintenance than DC), powered by a 48V/765Ah battery system delivering 11kW nominal power. It's rated at 4,000 lbs capacity at a 24" load center, with a max lift height of 250" (635cm) and 3,340 lbs actual capacity at full height. Truck weight is 10,520 lbs without battery, with a 2,400 lb drawbar pull and 5,000 lb towpoint rating. Ideal for facilities looking to maximize pallet storage density without sacrificing operational flexibility.
