Engineered for Reliable Operation in Extreme Cold
HELI introduces the H4 Series (1.5–3.5T) forklift, designed for high performance in cold storage, maintaining full capacity operation at temperatures as low as -30°C.
From production site to frozen storage, refrigerated transport, and final distribution, every stage of the cold chain for fresh produce, seafood, and biopharmaceuticals relies on both strict temperature control and fast-paced operations to prevent spoilage, ensuring products stay truly fresh and chilled.
In low-temperature cold warehouses across Australia, the challenge becomes even more demanding. With a tough and complex environment, with tight aisles and limited manoeuvring space. Frequent in-and-out operations place even greater pressure on equipment performance and handling efficiency. Standard forklifts aren’t designed for these harsh environments. In cold conditions, batteries and electrical systems often suffer rapid power loss, sometimes within just three hours. The structural integrity of steel components also weakens at low temperatures, increasing the risk of breakage. Hydraulic systems can seize up, compromising the warehouse’s daily operation and costing the operator time and money.
Thanks to a range of upgrades and the latest technology, the HELI H4 Cold Storage Electric Forklift handles harsh environments down to -30°C and beyond with ease. Designed specifically for the extreme conditions of low-temperature cold storage, it delivers an industry-leading solution with waterproof, frost-proof, corrosion-resistant, and rustproof properties for reliable operation in freezing temperatures.
After rigorous testing, which included continuous 24-hour ultra-low temperature freezing trials, battery discharge tests in extreme cold temperatures, and full vehicle IP67-grade protection, the H4 series forklift has passed with top marks and meets the most extreme and demanding requirements of chilled or freezer warehouse environments.
Choosing the right forklift for cold storage makes all the difference in efficiency, safety, and long-term performance. The Heli H4 Cold Storage Electric Forklift is purpose-built for sub-zero operations, featuring cold-resistant materials, fully sealed electrical systems, and designed for operator comfort. Whether you’re handling frozen produce, seafood, or pharmaceuticals, HELI Oceania has the cold storage solution your business can rely on.
