This 3‑wheel electric forklift is powered by dual drive motors, significantly improving productivity.
The 80 V 2×5.0 kW dual drive motors provide higher power efficiency than conventional 48 V systems, enabling the TVL series to deliver up to 6 hours' operation per charge.
80 V system delivering powerful performance
Thanks to the compact EP lithium battery and the ergonomic layout of the control levers and foot brake pedal, the compact truck provides 394 mm of legroom and delivers excellent operator comfort.
Spacious operator workspace
The TVL series has a small turning radius — 1,450 mm for the CPD15TVL, 1,550 mm for the CPD18TVL and 1,585 mm for the CPD20TVL — making it ideal for small warehouses with narrow aisles under 3.5 m.
Compact truck footprint
The TVL series is fitted with an EP Li‑Ion battery and a 35 A single‑phase integrated charger with a 16 A plug, allowing charging from standard power outlets (except 10 A and 13 A household plugs in Switzerland and the UK).
Integrated charger
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.
Enhanced mast for optimal visibility and stability
