What makes the TCL152 work
The TCL152 takes the compact TCL layout up to 1.5 t and pairs it with a 100Ah battery. Here's what it offers on a busy site.
1.5 tonnes, still compact
The TCL152 lifts 1,500 kg at a 500 mm load centre on a body only 1,020 mm wide and 2,787 mm long. That's the most capacity in EP's TCL range.
Bigger battery
It runs on an 80V 100Ah lithium-ion battery with a 35 A charger. Lithium needs no watering, and topping up in breaks keeps it working through the shift.
Measured efficiency
EP tested it to VDI 2198 at 87 t/h moved and 21.59 t per kWh, with 4.82 kWh/h energy use under DIN EN 16796. Those figures help you compare running costs with other trucks.
Dual-drive manoeuvring
Two 2.0 kW drive motors give strong traction and responsive steering, and it turns in 1,572 mm. Top speed is 13 km/h unladen and 11 km/h laden.
Low build
With a 1,988 mm overhead guard and a 2,048 mm lowered mast, it passes under low beams, mezzanines and doorways that stop a standard forklift.
Safe in confined space
Built for mezzanines, cargo lifts and the backs of HGVs, the TCL152 keeps 1.5 t under control where there is little room for error. It stops by itself on a ramp, eases off automatically through bends, and its parking brake sets the moment you halt. The cab is a calm 68 dB(A).

How does the TCL152 differ from the TCL122?
It lifts 1,500 kg instead of 1,200 kg and runs on a 100Ah battery. It is 55 mm longer, 229 kg heavier and turns in 1,572 mm against 1,519 mm. Both are 1,020 mm wide and under 2 m tall.
Should I choose the TCL152 or the TVL151?
Both lift 1.5 t on three wheels with dual drive. The TCL152 is smaller, at 1,020 mm wide with a 1,988 mm guard. The TVL151 lifts higher, to 5.0 m, travels at up to 14 km/h and turns in 1,450 mm.
Can it work in narrow aisles?
That is its home ground. At only 1,020 mm wide with a 1,572 mm turning radius, the TCL152 swings a 1000 x 1200 pallet (carried crossways) round in a 3,260 mm gap. Longer 800 x 1200 pallets carried lengthways need 3,384 mm.
Can the TCL152 work outside?
It is designed for indoor work on smooth floors, with solid tyres and 93 mm of ground clearance under the mast. For yards, look at a 4-wheel indoor/outdoor model such as the EFL183.
Is it suitable for heavy-duty work?
It's built for light to medium duty where space is tight. For constant heavier use, a larger truck such as the TDL161 or TVL151 will suit better.
Can I hire the TCL152?
Yes, on contract hire, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing and repairs included. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.
How much does the TCL152 cost?
It depends on the mast, battery and options you need. Ask for a price and we'll quote it to buy outright or on contract hire.
Who services the TCL152?
