Named-model research
UN NL Series
5.0–10.0 t heavy lithium-electric counterbalance series. Treat FB50, FB70 and the 10 t route as separate heavy-truck projects; the manufacturer's public pages use FB100 and FD100 labels, so the exact 10 t model code requires written clarification.

Published scope
Start with the claim, then identify the offered truck.
The facts below summarize the source reviewed by ForkliftIQ. They do not prove current availability, regional configuration or suitability for a particular site.
Buyer interpretation
Treat FB50, FB70 and the 10 t route as separate heavy-truck projects; the manufacturer's public pages use FB100 and FD100 labels, so the exact 10 t model code requires written clarification.
A model name helps organize research. Technical approval still depends on one exact configuration and a written operating requirement.
Application boundary
Heavy electric trucks require a load-case and infrastructure project, not a capacity-label comparison. Record load geometry, centre, attachment, height, gradients, surface, travel and stopping demand before requesting an NL configuration.
Configuration evidence
The 5–7 t page lists FB50 and FB70, while public 10 t material uses inconsistent FB100 and FD100 labels. ForkliftIQ keeps that conflict visible and requires a dated model-specific document and data-plate evidence.
Operating-system check
Large batteries and chargers affect electrical capacity, heat, charging windows, isolation and recovery planning. The supplier should provide an energy calculation and identify the responsible commissioning and service entity.
Information to measure before requesting this model
Record the maximum and typical load, dimensions, load centre, pallet or attachment interface, lift height, travel route, gradients, floor and yard condition, doors, overhead restrictions, rack geometry, pedestrian interaction, temperature and expected moves per hour. Define the shifts, charging windows and electrical supply instead of asking a supplier for an undefined runtime.
For a counterbalance or heavy-duty truck, state tyre requirements, outdoor exposure, braking demand and attachment use. For a connected truck, add network boundaries, user roles, data ownership, offline behaviour and system-support expectations. These inputs let suppliers identify exclusions early.
Questions for the quotation
- Which legal manufacturer model code applies to the quoted 10 t truck?
- What capacity remains with the actual load centre, mast and attachment?
- What charger power, site supply and thermal plan support the measured duty?
- Who provides commissioning, recovery, diagnostics, parts and warranty at the destination?
Documents to request
Ask for the complete model and option codes, a dated model-specific data sheet, dimensions, the configuration-specific load chart, battery and charger data, attachment approval, tyre specification, operator and maintenance manuals, scheduled service requirements and the applicable destination-market conformity records. The contracting party should identify who commissions the truck, provides training, supports diagnostics, supplies parts and carries warranty responsibility.
How to compare an alternative
Build one comparison sheet and hold the operating case constant. Use the same load, load centre, lift height, attachment, aisle or route, gradients, floor, temperature, shifts and charging window for every candidate. Ask suppliers to show where each quoted value comes from and whether it is standard, optional, calculated, tested or dependent on a market package.
Separate truck price from the operating system around it. Include charger and electrical work, battery replacement assumptions, tyres, scheduled service, diagnostic access, software or telematics fees, training, commissioning, freight, spare parts and expected downtime support. A lower equipment price can produce a higher operational cost when these boundaries are omitted.
Commercial and delivery boundary
Record the legal seller, Incoterm, delivery location, included options, excluded installation work, document language, acceptance method, warranty start, response time and responsible service entity. Require written change control when the supplier substitutes a mast, battery, charger, tyre, controller or software package after the technical review.
Parts and service identity
The family name is not sufficient for a parts match. Preserve the data plate, full model, serial number, mast and attachment details, battery voltage, controller and display labels, old component number, connectors, ports, mounting points and dimensions. Ask the source of every proposed replacement: catalogue record, drawing, supersession notice or written manufacturer confirmation.
Evidence boundary
ForkliftIQ has not inspected or tested this truck. Published capacity, dimensions, energy and software statements remain attributed to the manufacturer source. Current availability, exact configuration, regional documentation, dealer authority, lead time, field performance and warranty must be confirmed in writing for the offered truck.

Use axle loads when planning a heavy NL route
The manufacturer lists total machine weights of 8,260 kg for FB50 and 9,760 kg for FB70. Its full-load front-axle entries are 11,860 and 14,870 kg, respectively. Those axle figures explain why rated lifting capacity alone cannot settle a pavement, loading dock or freight review. Request the delivered configuration’s axle and wheel loads for assessment by the responsible site or transport party.
The detailed 10 t column uses FD100, lists 12,900 kg machine weight and 20,610 kg full-load front-axle weight. Keep that published identifier visible while resolving the separate FB100 naming issue. Do not transfer these figures to an unidentified 10 t offer. The manufacturer’s five-year battery warranty and charging-time statements also require the actual battery, charger, duty conditions and written terms; a marketing claim is not the delivered support agreement.
