The FVL series is a high-performance Li-ion 4-wheel dual-drive counterbalance forklift truck with a 1.8/2.0 tonne load capacity, designed for optimal efficiency and manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
The FVL series is equipped with 80V 2*5.0kW dual drive motors and is able to accelerate very rapidly, providing strong drive power to support a productive operational environment.
Dual drive motors for powerful performance
The FVL series is fully designed around the advantages of lithium technology, fitted with an 80V/205Ah Li-ion battery and an 80V/35A integrated charger as standard. It is suitable for multiple-shift operation thanks to opportunity charging and the completely maintenance-free battery.
Lithium technology with integrated charger
The compact FVL series features a small turning radius, 1680 mm for the CPD18FVL and xx mm for the CPD20FVL, and allows great manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
Compact size for manoeuvring with ease
The FVL series adopts 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 with Optimal Visibility and Stability
Application
This electric forklift truck is ideal for a wide range of transport and storage tasks across industries, particularly in narrow aisles of manufacturing facilities and warehouses. The fast acceleration and powerful dual drive also allow for long-distance transportation.

FAQs
Common questions people ask about the CPD18FVL.
What is the load capacity of the CPD18/20FVL?
The CPD18/20FVL series offers impressive lifting performance with capacities of 1,800 kg and 2,000 kg at a 500 mm load centre. Designed for reliability and balance, these forklifts provide the strength required for intensive material handling in warehouses and manufacturing environments.
What is the maximum lift height?
Both models deliver a standard lift height of 3,000 mm, with optional mast configurations reaching up to 6,000 mm. The reinforced mast, shared with EP’s CPD20L2 model, ensures exceptional visibility, minimal wobble, and maximum stability even under full load.
What type of battery does the CPD18/20FVL use?
This series is powered by an advanced 80V/205Ah Li-ion battery developed in-house by EP Equipment. The battery supports fast opportunity charging through an integrated 35A single-phase charger, allowing operators to plug in anywhere without requiring special charging infrastructure. The Li-ion system is maintenance-free, energy-efficient, and ideal for multi-shift operations.
Is the CPD18/20FVL suitable for narrow aisles?
Yes. With a turning radius of just 1,680 mm (CPD18FVL) and 1,730 mm (CPD20FVL), these forklifts are perfectly suited to tight warehouse spaces. The compact 4-wheel design provides superior manoeuvrability while maintaining balance and traction, making the trucks ideal for operations with aisles narrower than 3.5 metres.
How does the design ensure operator comfort and safety?
The CPD18/20FVL combines ergonomic excellence with intelligent safety features. Operators benefit from a comfortable premium seat, an adjustable steering wheel and a spacious cabin layout for long-shift comfort. Safety is reinforced through LED lighting, warning lamps, rear-view mirrors and the OPS (Operator Presence System), ensuring a secure and productive working environment.
