  • Operators on the truck most of the shift
  • Dock ramps up to 8% with a load
  • Multi-shift work with fast charging

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.

Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).

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 and telematics are available.

Can I hire the KPL201H?

Only as part of a fleet. If you hire forklifts or other trucks from us, we can add it to the same contract, at a weekly price with servicing and repairs included. On its own, it's to buy. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.
