Explore the CQD16L
The CQD16/20L series combines advanced 48V/405Ah Li-ion technology with optimized mast design, achieving lifting heights up to 12 meters. With powerful lift motors (11.75 kW on CQD16L, 20 kW on 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 meters and the CQD20L up to 12 meters, supported by a robust I-beam mast and low center of gravity. This ensures excellent residual capacity and safe handling of heavy loads at maximum height.
High lifting performance with 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 optimizes 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-color 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 center 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.
