About the 2.5T All-Weather Lithium Forklift
The 2.5T All-Weather Lithium Forklift is a heavy-duty electric counterbalance forklift built to perform in conditions that would sideline most standard electric machines. With an IP54 ingress protection rating, it handles dust, rain, and outdoor operating environments without the fuel costs or emissions of diesel or LPG alternatives. It runs on an 80V lithium-ion battery, which delivers consistent power output across the full charge cycle and supports opportunity charging during breaks — no lengthy downtime waiting for a conventional lead-acid battery to recover.
At 2,500 kg rated capacity and a maximum lift height of 7,000 mm via its triplex mast, this machine suits a wide range of demanding tasks: racking to high bays, loading and unloading semi-trailers, handling palletised goods in mixed indoor/outdoor environments, and materials staging on active construction or industrial sites. The combination of outdoor-rated components and a compact overall width of 1,220 mm makes it usable in spaces where larger counterbalance forklifts would struggle to manoeuvre.
Operators appreciate the responsive AC drive and lift motors — 11 kW and 15 kW respectively — which provide strong ramp performance and confident laden travel at up to 15 km/h. Available with either cushion or pneumatic tyres, the machine can be configured for smooth warehouse floors or rougher hardstand and yard surfaces. It is a practical choice for businesses across the Geelong region that need outdoor-capable electric lift capacity without committing to a diesel unit.
Key Features
- IP54 Weather-Resistant Sealed Electrics: Protects the drive, lift, and control systems against dust ingress and water spray, making this forklift suitable for outdoor yards, loading docks, and worksites exposed to the elements.
- 80V Lithium-Ion Battery with Opportunity Charging: Lithium-ion chemistry eliminates the memory effect and allows top-up charging during shift breaks, maintaining consistent power delivery and reducing battery-related downtime compared to lead-acid equivalents.
- Triplex Mast to 7,000 mm: The three-stage mast provides a maximum lift height of 7,000 mm with a standard collapsed height suitable for container and building entry, making it versatile for high-bay racking and trailer loading in the same shift.
- Cushion or Pneumatic Tyre Options: Tyre configuration can be matched to the site surface — cushion tyres for sealed warehouse or hardstand floors, pneumatic tyres for gravel yards, construction sites, or mixed terrain common in regional industrial settings.
- Compact Turning Radius: A 2,250 mm turning radius in a machine of this capacity keeps the forklift manoeuvrable in tighter loading bays and between racking rows, reducing the need for wide aisles.
