About the 2.5T Articulated Narrow Aisle Forklift
The 2.5T articulated narrow aisle forklift is built for warehouses and distribution facilities where racking aisles are too tight for a standard counterbalance machine but load weights demand more than a 1.5T or 2T unit can handle. The articulating chassis design allows the machine to turn and rack pallets directly within the aisle — without needing to travel perpendicular to the racking — enabling effective operation in aisles from around 2.0m wide. This makes it the right choice when you need to maximise storage density without sacrificing a meaningful lifting capacity.
At 2500kg rated capacity with lift heights up to 7.0m, this machine covers the heavy end of general warehousing: full pallets of building materials, trade supplies, packaged goods, and manufacturing components. The electric drivetrain keeps operating costs low and eliminates emissions, making it equally suited to enclosed facilities, food-adjacent environments, and operations running multiple shifts. The dual-drive AC motor configuration delivers smooth, responsive travel and consistent ramp performance with a laden speed of 17 km/h.
Key Features
- Articulating chassis for true narrow aisle operation — the machine bends at the mid-point rather than requiring full turning clearance, allowing racking access in aisles that would stop a counterbalance or reach truck
- 2500kg rated capacity to 7.0m lift height — handles full-weight pallets at high racking levels; mast options available up to 6500mm to suit varying warehouse configurations
- Dual AC drive motors (2 × 8.0kW) — independent rear-wheel drive provides precise traction control and consistent performance on gradients and dock levellers
- 80V / 420Ah battery system — large-format battery supports extended shift operation; Li-Ion option available for faster charging and reduced maintenance
