TCL101 is EP’s most compact and convenient electric dual-drive three-wheel electric forklift, with a load capacity of 1.0 ton. Its small size, dual drive system, and overhead guard height below 2 meters provide high agility, allowing it to work in narrow aisles.
The lithium-powered TCL101 combines manoeuvrability, comfort, efficiency, and safety, making it ideal for various handling tasks in tight spaces and across different floors.
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.
Compact size with high operator comfort
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.
Dual drive motors
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.
80V Li-ion & PMSM technology
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.
Top class features
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.
