What makes the TDL162 work
The TDL162 moves the TDL drive system from 48V to 80V. Here's how that shows up in the work.
80V performance
Moving from 48V to 80V takes top speed to 17 km/h unladen and lift speed to 0.5 m/s laden. Lowering is just as quick, at 0.5 m/s laden.
Climbs steeper ramps
Gradeability is 20% laden and 25% unladen, well above the TDL161's 15% and 17%. Dock ramps and sloped yards are easier work.
Strong lift system
An 18 kW lift motor drives the hydraulics, against 11 kW on the TDL161. Attachments get 35 litres a minute at 180 bar.
Two ways to charge
A single-phase integrated charger with plug is fitted, and there's a separate port for an external fast charger. EP lists external chargers from 60 A to 150 A, so charging can match single or multi-shift work.
Quiet, comfortable cab
Noise at the seat is 65 dB(A), and the cab gives 470 mm of legroom with wide visibility. An LED display includes a performance selector.
Joystick and all-weather cabin
An optional armrest joystick handles the hydraulics, direction, horn and emergency stop. A heated all-weather cabin is optional for outside work in poor weather.

What's the difference between the TDL162 and the TDL161?
The TDL162 runs on 80V rather than 48V, and both have 280Ah lithium batteries. It travels at 17 km/h against 16 km/h, lifts at 0.5 m/s against 0.35 m/s laden, climbs 20% laden against 15%, and is much quieter at 65 dB(A) against 79 dB(A).
Can the TDL162 work outdoors?
Yes. EP designed it for indoor and outdoor use, and you can add a heated all-weather cabin. It runs on solid tyres, so firm surfaces suit it best.
Can I charge it faster for multi-shift work?
Yes. As well as the built-in 35 A charger, it has a port for an external fast charger rated from 60 A to 150 A. Lithium also accepts top-ups in breaks.
How tight can it turn?
Swing room on the 80V TDL162 is a 1,639 mm radius. Translated into racking, that's 3,339 mm with 1000 x 1200 pallets crossways and 3,464 mm with 800 x 1200 lengthways, so it fits 3.5 m aisles while keeping its 20% laden climbing ability.
What mast options are there?
The standard mast lifts 3.0 m. Optional 2-stage and 3-stage masts go up to 6.0 m, and free-lift masts suit low-ceiling sites.
Can I hire the TDL162?
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 TDL162 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 TDL162?
