Explore the CQD16L
The CQD16/20L series combines advanced 48V/405Ah Li-ion technology with optimised mast design, achieving lifting heights up to 12 metres. With powerful lift motors (11.75 kW on the CQD16L, 20 kW on the CQD20L), it delivers a 50% boost in stacking efficiency while reducing energy consumption. Operators benefit from clear visibility, electric power steering, and ergonomic controls for efficient, safe, and enjoyable operation.
Thanks to a compact Li-ion battery and offset oil tube layout, operators enjoy clear forward visibility, making load stacking easier and safer, even in high-density racking environments.
Optimal visibility
The CQD16L reaches up to 8 metres and the CQD20L up to 12 metres, supported by a robust I-beam mast and low centre of gravity. This ensures excellent residual capacity and safe handling of heavy loads at maximum height.
High lifting performance and stability
Powered by a 48V/405Ah Li-ion battery with opportunity charging, the truck eliminates battery maintenance while enabling 24/7 operations. EP’s CANBUS-based BMS optimises cell communication, guaranteeing consistent performance.
Advanced Li-ion power system
Ergonomic design includes electric power steering with damping, a suspension seat, fingertip controls, and a full-colour display. The optional mechanical height indicator further enhances stacking precision, improving safety and reducing operator fatigue.
Operator comfort and precision
Application
The CQD16/20L reach trucks are designed for high-bay warehouses, logistics hubs, and manufacturing sites requiring fast, precise, and stable material handling. Their low centre of gravity and I-beam mast ensure stability even at maximum height. Thanks to compact dimensions and a turning radius of just 1,720–1,770 mm, they excel in narrow aisles. Optional cold-storage adaptations, warning lamps, and telematics expand their versatility, making them suitable for industries ranging from retail distribution to cold-chain logistics.
