Bendi B314 AC

Compact chassis with 220° articulated steering for maximum manoeuvrability

A key advantage of the Bendi B314 is its compact, space-saving chassis combined with the proven 220° articulated steering system. The shorter wheelbase and small overall footprint make the B314 ideal for operations where space is limited and aisle widths need to be kept to a minimum.

Its 3-wheel front-wheel-drive design allows the truck to articulate sharply and smoothly within very narrow aisles, enabling quick direction changes without complex manoeuvres or repeated repositioning. This results in faster cycle times and more efficient pallet handling.

The compact chassis not only improves accessibility in tight warehouse layouts but also enhances stability and control when positioning loads at height. Operators benefit from precise load placement, reduced tyre wear, and safer handling—helping maximise storage density while maintaining high productivity levels.

Bendi forklifts are available with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, allowing the battery configuration to be matched precisely to your operation and usage profile.

Lead-acid batteries are a reliable and cost-effective solution for single-shift or predictable operating patterns. With a 48 V, 630 amp-hour capacity, they provide consistent performance and long service life at a lower upfront cost, making them an economical choice for many warehouses.

Lithium-ion batteries are ideal for multi-shift and high-intensity operations. The 48 V, 560 amp-hour lithium battery supports fast and opportunity charging, offering maximum flexibility.. With no maintenance requirements and consistent power output, lithium-ion technology helps reduce downtime and increase overall productivity.

By offering both battery types, Bendi ensures every customer receives the most efficient and cost-effective energy solution for their specific operation.

Cabin Features

The Bendi cabin is designed for comfort, visibility, and intuitive operation. Excellent all-round visibility gives operators confidence in tight spaces, while the height-adjustable steering wheel ensures a comfortable driving position for different operators. Fail-safe monitoring electronics continuously supervise truck functions, with clear fault indications displayed on the dash. Simple, easy-to-use controls and two integrated working lights support safe and efficient operation in all warehouse conditions.

Safety Features

Safety is engineered into every Bendi truck. A sequentially interlocked seatbelt ensures the truck can only be operated when the seatbelt is correctly fastened. The rear blue spot pedestrian safety light provides a clear visual warning to pedestrians when the truck is approaching. For added protection, travel speed is automatically limited to 3.0 km/h when forks are raised above free lift, while highly adjustable electronic controls allow speeds to be tailored to site requirements.

Electric Drive

The Bendi’s electric drive system delivers clean, efficient performance without the drawbacks of internal combustion. With no LPG or flammable fuels, there is no need for bottle changes or refuelling. Operators benefit from zero exhaust fumes, no engine heat, and quiet operation, making the truck ideal for indoor environments and long operating shifts.

Articulated Mast

The 220° articulated mast is at the heart of the Bendi’s space-saving design. This wide rotation allows the truck to manoeuvre efficiently in narrow aisles, enabling tighter racking layouts and improved access to loads—helping warehouses maximise storage capacity without compromising productivity.

A wide range of optional features is available to tailor the truck to your operation (not standard equipment):

• Camera systems for improved visibility during travel and load handling at height
• Integrated weight gauge
• Fleet management system with pre-start checklist
• AI pedestrian detection cameras to alert operators to pedestrians in the truck’s path
• Additional forward-facing blue spot pedestrian safety light
• Safe-to-approach light system (park brake must be applied before pedestrians receive a green signal)
• Red line safety zone lights projecting an exclusion zone on either side of the truck
