Almost everything that makes the battery-powered Bendi the right choice for so many applications applies equally to the Bendi IC. Both are equally at home on the loading dock or in the warehouse. Both can go from trailer to plant floor to narrow aisle storage without staging. Both navigate narrow aisles with the speed and agility that allow Bendi operators to move safely into tight spots others can't reach. The main difference is that our LP powered Bendi can be refueled in less than five minutes.
This narrow aisle forklift features a GM 2.4 liter internal combustion engine designed specifically for LP gas. Refilling or removing and replacing the rear-mounted LP tank is easy, fast, and safe. The 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine is easily accessible under the insulated seat base. The engine is rated at 67 horsepower at 2,400 rotations per minute, and meets or exceeds emission standards for its vehicle class in all 50 states.
The Bendi i3 measures just 48 inches (1,200 millimeters) wide, can climb 15 percent grades, turn in nine foot (2.74 meters) intersecting aisles, and stack 48 x 40 inch (1,200 x 1,000 millimeter) loads in 6-1/2 foot (1.98 meter) aisles.
