Explore the TVL182
The TVL combines dual-drive 3-wheel technology with EP’s innovative integral cast chassis, delivering unmatched durability, lower center of gravity, and improved operator comfort. With a height under 2,000 mm, dual 80V PMS drive motors, and Li-ion battery system, it provides powerful performance, excellent maneuverability, and long runtime. This makes it the ideal solution for low-ceiling warehouses, containers, and tight aisles where conventional forklifts can’t operate.
The TVL182/202 is built on EP’s self-developed integral cast chassis design, which means there's no longer a joint interface between chassis and counterweight. It delivers outstanding structural strength and a naturally lower center of gravity. This ensures excellent truck stability even under full load and at high lift heights, while minimizing vibration and mast shaking. The robust frame further enhances durability, extending the service life of the truck.
Innovative integral cast chassis for superior stability
With an overall height of less than 2,000mm, the TVL182/202 is designed for seamless operation in confined spaces such as containers, underground garages, and low-ceiling warehouses. Combined with a tight turning radius of just 1,641mm (TVL182), this compact truck offers agility, enabling operators to retrieve and stack efficiently in areas where conventional forklifts simply cannot fit.
Compact size for operations in low-clearance and tight spaces
Equipped with 80V dual drive motors with advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology, the TVL182/202 delivers sensitive steering and up to 10-15% energy savings compared with conventional forklifts.
80V Dual drive motors and PMSM technology
The lithium-powered TVL182/202 is equipped as standard with an 80V/35A internal single phase charger and the plug for external charger connection. Selection of external single phase or three-phase chargers with power up to 80V 100A give operators flexible and efficient charging options for all working scenarios.
Dual charging flexibility
Safety is further supported by automatic stop on ramp, electromagnetic parking brake, and turn speed control, making every turn and stop at ramp secure.
Safety-guaranteed functions
The TVL182/202 features joystick control as standard and fingertips as an option. Positioned at the end of armrest, all operations can be done just with fingers, increasing precision and ergonomics.
Effortless and precise control
The new chassis layout creates a larger operating space, giving drivers more legroom and comfort during long shifts. Combined with a wide-view mast and optimized overhead guard design, the TVL182/202 provides excellent visibility and minimizes blind spots, ensuring both a comfortable and safe driving experience.
Ergonomic and spacious operator workplace
Application
The TVL182 is is a 80V lithium-ion 3 wheels forklift purpose-built for loading, unloading and stock goods on production plants, retail storage and logistics hub including low-ceiling warehouse environments thanks to the overhead guard height below 2 meters. Its compact chassis and tight turning radius enable agile operation in confined aisles, while the dual 80V PMS motors ensure stable power output for smooth lifting and acceleration. TVL offers energy-efficient operation, minimal noise, and outstanding operator comfort — even in continuous-use applications.
