This 3‑wheel electric forklift is powered by dual‑drive motors, significantly improving productivity.
The 80‑volt 2×5.0 kW dual‑drive motors offer higher power efficiency than conventional 48‑volt systems, enabling the TVL series to deliver up to 6 hours of 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 generous legroom of 394 mm and excellent operator comfort.
Spacious workspace
The TVL series features 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 an ideal workhorse for small warehouses with narrow aisles up to 3.5 m wide.
Compact truck size
The TVL series forklift is fitted with an EP Li‑ion battery and a 35 A single‑phase integrated charger with a 16 A plug, allowing charging from most power outlets (except 10 A and 13 A domestic plugs in Switzerland and the UK).
Integrated charger
The TVL series uses the same high‑strength mast as the CPD20L2, providing excellent all‑round visibility and strong stability with reduced wobble even when fully loaded.
Enhanced mast for optimal visibility & stability
Application
