Most pneumatic forklifts built for outdoor work still rely on LP gas or diesel engines, which means fumes, fuel costs, and steady maintenance to keep them running. For operations that want cleaner, simpler equipment, that setup creates a real problem and a recurring expense. The Hangcha XC Series offers another option. These lithium-ion pneumatic forklifts work indoors and outdoors without an engine and without the daily upkeep that traditional trucks demand, which keeps your crew moving and your costs predictable.
What Makes the Hangcha XC Series Different
The XC Series includes two trucks that cover most material handling needs. We carry the compact pneumatic model and the full-size pneumatic model, and both run on lithium-ion power. Each one removes the traditional transmission and engine, so there is no fuel to manage and far less to service.
A True Replacement for Internal Combustion
The full-size model is often called a direct replacement for internal combustion pneumatic trucks. You no longer need an LP gas or diesel truck to operate outside. With an IPX4 rating, these forklifts hold up in water, snow, and other elements without losing performance.
Built for Indoor and Outdoor Use
The compact version is designed for tighter spaces and a smaller turning radius, which makes it a strong fit for indoor work. It still handles outdoor jobs as a compact pneumatic, so one truck can move between settings during the same shift.
Pro Tip: If your team works in mixed environments, pair the compact model for indoor runs with the full-size unit for heavy outdoor loads.
Low Maintenance and Long Run Times
One of the biggest advantages of lithium-ion power is how little upkeep it requires. There is no gassing, no watering, and no battery maintenance that comes with a traditional lead-acid setup. It is a plug-and-go system.
Fast Charging and Multiple Shifts
Both trucks recharge fully in two hours or less, depending on the charger you match with the unit. Opportunity charging is available as well, so you can run multiple shifts rather than just one.
Adjustable Performance Settings
These forklifts let you fine-tune how they run. You can adjust:
- Top speed in miles per hour
- Acceleration, faster or slower
- Regenerative braking is applied the moment you release the pedal or removed so the truck coasts
Key Takeaway: The XC Series adapts to your application, which helps your operators stay productive and your equipment last longer.

Capacities and Attachment Options
Every operation has different lifting needs, and these trucks are built to match.
Hangcha XC Series Capacity Options
Both models are available in 4,000-, 5,000-, 6,000-, and 7,000-pound configurations. That range covers light indoor work and heavier outdoor loads from a single product line.
Mast and Hydraulic Flexibility
The full-size model can be equipped with a three-stage 185-inch mast and four-way hydraulics. That setup lets you add a fork positioner or attachments such as a roll clamp or squeeze clamp when your work calls for it.
Pro Tip: Match your mast and hydraulic configuration to your tallest racking and your most common load before you buy.
