Explore the CPD50L1
The CPD50L1, an upgraded version of EP’s iconic heavy-duty CPD50F8 forklift, is designed to meet the evolving demands of modern intralogistics applications. This electric forklift combines aesthetics with functionality, offering an efficient solution across various industries.
The new design of the CPD50L1 reflects both practicality and beauty. The internal layout has been optimised, resulting in a shorter l2 of 2900mm and a tighter turning radius of 2675mm. The compact size makes it easy to manoeuvre in confined spaces. The bolted overhead guard offers maximum flexibility for retrofit or replacement and the height of 2250mm combined with a triplex 4.5 metre lift allows for goods transportation in standard containers.
New appearance combining practicality and aesthetic design
The CPD50L1 offers two lithium battery options, 80V/560Ah and 80V/690Ah, to meet regular and intensive applications. It is designed around the advantages of lithium technology - opportunity charging, zero maintenance, zero carbon emissions and zero gas emissions during charging, which contributes to convenient and sustainable operation. The practical IP65 external plug provides charging convenience without the need to open the cover.
Different lithium battery capacity options to meet varying needs
Compared to the classic CPD50F8, the travel speed of the CPD50L1 is improved to 16/18 km/h, speeding up warehouse turnover and increasing transport efficiency.
High travel speed for maximum efficiency
The CPD50L1 can be fitted with hydraulic joystick controls instead of mechanical levers. Positioned at the end of the armrest, fingertip operation is possible, improving operator ergonomics with the following controls: all fork hydraulic control including the 4th way, driving direction (F-N-B), horn, emergency stop button.
Joystick option for fatigue-free operation
The CPD50L1 inherits mature components, such as the drive unit, motors, controllers and mast, ensuring great reliability. The box girder structure is more rigid, providing greater stability and the new hydraulic pump makes lifting operations more precise and quieter.
Market-proven components and optimised layout
The seat height (h7) is 1208mm from the ground, lower than others in its class. This makes it easy for the operator to get in and out.
Ergonomic seat for a comfortable experience
Application
The CPD50L1 counterbalance forklift is suitable for heavy-duty, even the most demanding, applications thanks to the various lithium battery options and the improved travel speed. It delivers strong performance across industries such as beverage, timber, metal, construction and more. For container handling, the CPD50L1 with a dedicated mast can fully meet requirements due to its appropriate overhead guard height of 2250mm.
