About this type
Why choose a 3-wheel forklift?
A 3-wheel forklift has two front wheels and one steered wheel at the back, under the counterweight. That makes it shorter and more nimble than a 4-wheel truck of the same capacity, which is why it is the go-to truck for indoor work where space is tight.

FAQ
Questions about 3-wheel electric forklifts
What is a 3-wheel forklift best for?
Indoor work on smooth floors where space is tight: narrow aisles, loading and unloading trailers, block stacking and busy warehouses with lots of turning. If your truck spends most of its day outside on rough ground or ramps, a 4-wheel indoor / outdoor forklift is the better choice.
Should I choose a 3-wheel or 4-wheel forklift?
Choose 3-wheel for manoeuvrability: the TVL151 has a 1,450 mm turning radius, against 2,347 mm for the 4-wheel EFL303. Choose 4-wheel for stability on uneven ground, ramps and outdoor yards, and for loads over 2 tonnes. The table on this page compares all four types.
What is the difference between the TCL, TVL and TDL?
The TCL is EP's supercompact range, from 1 to 1.5 tonnes, for the tightest spaces. The TVL is a dual-drive 80V truck from 1.5 to 2 tonnes. The TDL has the largest batteries, 280 to 405Ah, for long or multi-shift work. We'll recommend the right one for your loads and hours.
Can a 3-wheel forklift be used outside?
For short trips across smooth, dry concrete, such as between a warehouse and a trailer, yes. They are not built for gravel, potholes or steep ramps, where the single rear wheel gives less stability. For regular outdoor work, look at our indoor / outdoor forklifts.
Can I hire a 3-wheel forklift?
Yes. Every model is available on contract hire from 12 months, with servicing, repairs and GA1/LOLER inspections included in one monthly payment. We don't do short-term hire.
Who services the forklift?
Our own mobile engineers service and repair EP forklifts across all 32 counties and carry out the statutory thorough examination (GA1 in the Republic, LOLER in Northern Ireland). Genuine EP parts come direct from the factory.
