Application
The MAX-3 IC forklifts are built for intensive outdoor material handling in sectors like logistics, construction, ports, and manufacturing plants. Their powerful diesel engines, strong frame, and pneumatic tires make them ideal for rough surfaces and uneven terrain. The wide-view mast design ensures clear visibility during stacking, while the compact turning radius (2700 mm) enhances maneuverability in confined spaces. Optional attachments and mast configurations (up to 4.5 m lift height) expand versatility across multiple applications.
About the MAX-3 IC
The MAX-3 Series represents EP’s commitment to rugged design and consistent performance in internal combustion forklifts. With models ranging from CPCD20T3 to CPCD40T3, this series offers load capacities between 2.0 and 4.0 tons and is powered by reliable XINCHAI and YANMAR engines delivering up to 42.1 kW at 2300 rpm.
Each model features a mechanical or powershift transmission for smooth operation, wide-view mast for improved visibility, and optimized hydraulic design for stable lifting. The vibration-damping structure, suspension seat, and OPS (Operator Presence System) ensure operator safety and comfort throughout long shifts.
Designed for high efficiency, the MAX-3 achieves lifting speeds of 470 mm/s, lowering speeds of 400 mm/s, and travel speeds up to 19 km/h, ensuring fast, reliable material handling performance. Available options include integrated sideshifter, LED lighting, solid or dual tires, full cabin, and air filtration upgrades, adapting easily to various environmental conditions.
FAQs
What are the main advantages of the MAX-3 Series forklifts?
The MAX-3 Series offers an ideal balance between power, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Equipped with XINCHAI and YANMAR diesel engines, the trucks deliver strong torque and fuel efficiency for continuous operation. The reinforced frame, wide-view mast, and ergonomic operator design make them dependable and comfortable for demanding industrial and outdoor environments.
Which applications are best suited for the MAX-3 IC forklifts?
The MAX-3 Series is built for heavy-duty material handling across construction sites, logistics centers, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. Thanks to its pneumatic tires, robust chassis, and gradeability up to 15%, it performs exceptionally well on uneven terrain or in outdoor conditions where strength and endurance are critical.
What engine and transmission options are available?
The series comes with high-performance XINCHAI or YANMAR diesel engines delivering up to 42.1 kW of power. Customers can choose between a mechanical gearbox for straightforward reliability or a power-shift transmission for smoother directional changes and reduced operator fatigue during frequent reversing or long-distance travel.
How does the MAX-3 improve operator comfort and safety?
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the MAX-3 features a suspension seat, low-vibration steering system, and spacious operator compartment. Safety is enhanced by the OPS (Operator Presence System), LED lighting package, and reinforced overhead guard. These features ensure long-term comfort and protection, even during intensive multi-shift operations.
What customization options are available for the MAX-3 Series?
The MAX-3 can be tailored to specific operational needs with mast heights up to 4.5 meters, solid or dual tires, side-shifters, and full steel cabins for outdoor work. Optional upgrades like high exhaust systems, air filtration kits, and climate-controlled cabins make it adaptable to construction sites, ports, and dusty or high-temperature environments.
