Bendi B420HL AC

The Bendi B420 HL is built for extreme vertical performance, offering the highest lift heights in the Bendi range. Its reinforced chassis and 220° articulated mast are engineered to handle heavier loads safely, even at extended elevations, while maintaining the compact footprint that allows efficient operation in narrow aisles.

With lift heights reaching up to 12.5m, the B420 HL maximises vertical storage capacity, making it the ideal solution for high-density warehouses where every centimetre counts. The 4-wheel rear-wheel-drive design provides superior traction for both indoor and outdoor use, ensuring stability and precise handling—even under demanding conditions or with heavier pallets.

Operators benefit from smooth, accurate load placement and faster handling cycles, while warehouse managers gain unmatched vertical access and total space optimisation. For facilities that push the limits of storage height without compromising safety or productivity, the B420 HL is the definitive high-lift solution.

The B420 HL Bendi forklift is available with a high-capacity lead-acid battery and lithium-ion battery, designed to match your warehouse operations and workflow.

The 48 V, 900 Ah lead-acid battery is a reliable, cost-effective solution for single-shift or predictable operations, delivering consistent power and long service life.

A lithium-ion battery is available on request for multi-shift or high-intensity operations, offering fast and opportunity charging for continuous use. With no maintenance required and consistent output, it helps reduce downtime and boost productivity.

Offering flexible battery options, the B420 HL Bendi forklift provides an efficient and cost-effective power solution tailored to your warehouse needs.

Ergonomic Cabin and Operator Environment

The B420 HL cabin is engineered for maximum visibility and operator comfort—especially at extreme lift heights. Designed to provide clear all-round sightlines to both load and racking, it supports confident operation even at full elevation. A height-adjustable steering wheel and intuitive, ergonomically positioned controls reduce fatigue during long shifts. Fail-safe monitoring electronics continuously supervise truck functions, displaying instant fault indications on the dash. Dual high-intensity working lights ensure precise load handling in high bays, dark aisles, or trailers.

Uncompromising Safety Standards

Safety is paramount in high-lift applications, and the B420 HL is built accordingly. A sequentially interlocked seatbelt prevents operation unless properly fastened, reinforcing site compliance. A rear blue spot light projects a clear visual warning to pedestrians. To maintain maximum stability at height, travel speed is automatically limited to 3.0 km/h whenever the forks are raised above the free lift stage. Adjustable electronic performance settings allow the truck to be fine-tuned to suit your facility’s specific safety requirements.

Drive and Traction

As the only rear-wheel-drive model in the Bendi range, the B420 HL delivers exceptional traction for both indoor and outdoor use. Its 4-wheel RWD configuration ensures superior stability and controlled handling, particularly important when lifting to extended heights with heavier loads. The electric drive system provides powerful yet smooth performance without LPG or flammable fuels—eliminating exhaust fumes, engine heat, and refuelling downtime while creating a cleaner, quieter working environment.

The High-Lift Articulated Advantage

At the heart of the B420 HL is its 220° articulated mast, specifically engineered for extreme vertical performance. By articulating the mast rather than repositioning the entire chassis, the truck operates efficiently in narrow aisles while reaching exceptional lift heights. This allows warehouses to maximise vertical storage capacity without widening aisles or compromising stability—making the B420 HL the ideal solution for high-bay, high-density operations.

A wide range of optional features is available to tailor the B420HL to your operation (not standard equipment):

• Camera systems for improved visibility during travel and load handling, especially useful at higher lift heights where many customers prefer a carriage-mounted camera to make operation easier and safer
• 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
