What makes the TCL101 suitable for tight spaces?

The TCL101 features a compact design with dual-drive motors, providing an ultra-tight turning radius of just 1422mm. Its overhead guard height is below 2 meters, allowing it to operate in cargo lifts, mezzanine floors, and narrow aisles where traditional forklifts cannot manoeuvre.

What are the advantages of the lithium battery system?

The 80V lithium-ion battery offers opportunity charging capabilities, requires no maintenance, and provides 10-15% energy savings compared to traditional systems. It delivers extended runtime and can be charged quickly during breaks, maximizing operational efficiency.

How does the dual-drive system improve performance?

The dual-drive motor configuration provides enhanced agility, sensitive steering, and superior manoeuvrability in tight spaces. This system allows the TCL101 to navigate challenging environments while maintaining smooth, responsive control and optimal performance.

What is the load capacity and is it suitable for heavy-duty applications?

The TCL101 has a 1.0-ton load capacity, making it ideal for medium-duty material handling tasks in warehouses, logistics centres, retail environments, and food industry applications where space constraints are a primary concern.

What safety features are included?

The TCL101 is equipped with automatic parking brake and turn speed control systems to ensure safe operation in confined spaces. These intelligent safety features work together to provide secure handling while maintaining the forklift’s exceptional manoeuvrability in tight environments.

Product Application

TCL is a compact 80V lithium-ion 3 wheels forklift designed for applications in tight indoor spaces, offering small turning radius and a low overall height that enables work in narrow aisles, low-clearance areas, mezzanines, and cargo lifts. Its dual-drive PMS Motor ensures smooth, agile handling, while automatic stop on ramp and speed reduction on turns support safe operation. TCL is the ideal forklift for light to medium-duty applications where maneuverability are the main priorities.

Features

Compact size with high operator comfort

With its low service weight, compact size, and overhead guard height (h6) < 2000mm, TCL is ideal for mezzanines and cargo lifts usage and in narrow spaces like intensive warehousing and HGVs. Despite its compactness, the TCL prioritizes operator comfort with an ergonomic design, providing an ample legroom of 464mm and a good visibility for a comfortable operating experience.

Dual drive motors

The unique dual drive motor system, unmatched in this capacity segment, gives the TCL outstanding traction and ultra-responsive steering. Together with its agile 3-wheel design, it turns on the spot and delivers an exceptionally tight turning radius — perfect for navigating busy, space-restricted environments. With a top speed of 13 km/h and powerful acceleration, the TCL ensures fast pallet handling and boosts everyday work efficiency.

80V Li-ion & PMSM technology

Equipped with 80V Li-ion battery and integrated single phase fast charger as standard, the TCL supports opportunity charging with no maintenance. Additionally, the TCL employs advanced permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) technology and can achieve 10-15% energy savings and extend runtime by 10% compared to conventional motors.

Top class features

The TCL features automatic stop on ramp and electric parking brake which can protect the forklift from accidentally rolling back when parked on a slope. It’s also equipped with turn speed control as standard for maximum productivity safety and stability even in the tightest of corners.
