About the 1.8T Lithium Counterbalance Forklift
The 1.8T lithium counterbalance forklift is the right machine when a site needs reliable, zero-emission indoor lifting without the maintenance overhead of a lead-acid battery system. Capable of handling loads up to 1,800kg and reaching lift heights of up to 7.0m, it covers the full range of standard warehouse pallet movement — from ground-level picking through to high-bay racking applications. The lithium-ion battery supports opportunity charging, meaning operators can top up during breaks without cycling the battery through a full charge-discharge sequence. This removes the need for a dedicated charging room and eliminates the battery swap downtime that interrupts lead-acid operations, making the machine particularly well suited to multi-shift environments.
The platform is compact and manoeuvrable, with a turning radius appropriate for standard warehouse aisle widths. At under 1,260mm wide, it fits comfortably through standard doorways and into confined staging areas. The zero-tailpipe-emissions profile makes it the correct choice for any enclosed, ventilation-restricted, or food-grade facility where diesel or LPG cannot be used. Battery maintenance is minimal — no water top-ups, no acid checks, no equalisation charges — which reduces the service burden on hire operations and shortens machine downtime between rental cycles.
Key Features
- Lithium-ion battery with opportunity charging — charge during operator breaks without damaging battery health; no dedicated charging room or battery swap infrastructure required
- Zero tailpipe emissions — meets the requirements of enclosed warehouses, food manufacturing facilities, cold stores, and any site where combustion engines are excluded by regulation or food safety policy
- Up to 7.0m lift height — standard duplex wide-view mast configuration with higher mast options available; suits single-deep racking up to high-bay warehouse environments
- Compact footprint for tight sites — overall width under 1,260mm and a tight turning radius allow operation in standard aisle widths without modification to racking layouts
