Product Application
Narrow Aisle: This counterbalance forklift is suitable for a range of applications including indoor warehousing and narrow aisles, with a turning radius from 1450mm on the CPD15TVL to 1585mm on the CPD20TVL.
Loading/Unloading: It delivers strong performance for loading and unloading tasks at docks or side-bay lorries, supported by its powerful 80V battery. Ideal for rental operations thanks to its opportunity-charging capability.
Features
80-Volt System Delivering Powerful Performance
The 80V 2*5.0 kW dual drive motors offer higher power efficiency than conventional 48V systems, enabling the TVL series to achieve around six hours' operation per charge.
Spacious Workspace
Owing to the compact EP lithium battery and the ergonomic arrangement of the control levers and the foot brake pedal, the compact truck provides a generous 394mm legroom and delivers excellent operational comfort.
Compact Truck Size
The TVL series features a small turning radius — 1450mm for the CPD15TVL, 1550mm for the CPD18TVL and 1585mm for the CPD20TVL — making it an ideal workhorse for small warehouses with narrow aisles up to 3.5 m wide.
Integrated Charger
The TVL series forklift is supplied with an EP Li-Ion battery and a 35A single-phase integrated charger with a 16A plug, allowing the truck to be charged from standard power outlets (except 10A and 13A civil plugs in Switzerland and England).
Enhanced Mast for Optimal Visibility and Stability
The TVL series uses the same high-strength mast as the CPD20L2, offering excellent all-round visibility and strong stability with reduced wobble even when fully loaded.
