Features

What makes the KPL201H work

The H stands out from the standard KPL201 with more power and speed in a shorter body. Here's what that means on the floor.

Faster travel

It travels at 9 km/h laden and 12 km/h empty. On long transfers that adds up to more pallets moved each hour.

3.0 kW drive

A 3.0 kW AC drive motor powers the H, against 1.6 kW on the standard KPL201. It also climbs better, at 8% with a load.

Shorter body

At 2,195 mm long with 1,045 mm to the fork face, it's shorter than the KPL201. It turns in 2,034 mm.

Stable at speed

Automatic slowing in corners, a lowered centre of gravity and a reinforced chassis keep it settled. Creep speed and proportional steering help in confined spaces.

Comfortable on long shifts

A suspended platform, padded backrest and ergonomic tiller cut fatigue. The semi-enclosed compartment protects the operator.

Lithium with 100A charger

The 24V 205Ah lithium-ion battery charges from a 100A external charger. No maintenance, and top-ups in breaks are fine.

FAQ

Questions about the KPL201H

What does the H add over the KPL201?

More speed and power: 9 km/h laden against 8.5 km/h, 12 km/h empty against 10 km/h, and a 3.0 kW drive against 1.6 kW. It's also shorter and turns tighter, at 2,034 mm against 2,217 mm. See the KPL201.

How does it compare with the RPL20-PRO?

The RPL20-PRO is slightly faster at 9.5 km/h laden, has a larger 280Ah battery and a fold-down platform, and turns in 1,645 mm. The KPL201H has the semi-enclosed compartment and padded backrest.

How much aisle space does it need?

EP gives 2,834 mm for 1000 x 1200 pallets crossways and 2,685 mm for 800 x 1200 pallets lengthways.

Is it safe at higher speeds?

It slows automatically in corners, has a lowered centre of gravity and a reinforced chassis. Creep speed gives fine control when placing pallets.

What options are there?

Fork lengths, wheel materials, cold store adaptation and telematics are available.

Can I hire the KPL201H?

Yes, on contract hire from 12 months, with servicing and repairs included in one fixed monthly payment. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.

How much does the KPL201H cost?

It depends on the mast, battery and options you need. Ask for a price and we'll quote it to buy outright, on finance or on contract hire.

Who services the KPL201H?

Our own engineers, from our depots in Navan and Portadown, using EP parts. We look after customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
