500 kg 3-Wheel Fully Electric Forklift
The CPD-05 500 kg 3-Wheel Fully Electric Forklift is a compact electric counterbalance forklift developed for applications where maneuverability, compact dimensions and clean electric operation are important.
Unlike a conventional four-wheel forklift, the CPD-05 uses a three-point support structure. The front section is equipped with two drive wheels, while the rear section uses two centrally arranged steering wheels. This structure provides a compact steering layout and allows the forklift to operate efficiently in restricted spaces.
The CPD-05 has a 490 kg rated load capacity, corresponding to the 500 kg class, with a 500 mm load center and a standard 2,000 mm lifting height.
It is particularly suitable for warehouses, workshops, production areas, retail storage facilities and other indoor applications where a compact forklift is required.
Three-Point Counterbalance Structure
The CPD-05 is a three-wheel counterbalance forklift based on a three-point support structure.
The vehicle configuration includes:
Two front drive wheels
Two centrally arranged rear steering wheels
Three-point ground support
Counterbalance structure
Compact chassis
Centralized rear steering
The rear steering wheels are positioned in the center of the rear section, allowing the forklift to turn within a relatively small operating area.
This structure is one of the key differences between a 3-wheel electric forklift and a conventional four-wheel forklift.
Small Turning Radius
The CPD-05 provides a 1,600 mm turning radius.
The compact turning configuration makes it suitable for applications where available operating space is limited.
Typical applications include:
Narrow warehouse aisles
Small storage areas
Production workshops
Loading areas
Retail warehouses
Elevator-accessed areas
Indoor material handling
For customers trying to maximize available storage space, a compact three-wheel forklift can help reduce the operating space required around storage racks.
Fully Electric Travel and Lifting
The CPD-05 uses a fully electric travel and lifting system.
The electric configuration provides:
Fully electric travel
Fully electric lifting
Low operating noise
Zero direct exhaust emissions
Smooth acceleration
Precise low-speed movement
Reduced operator effort
Suitable indoor operation
The electric power system makes the CPD-05 particularly suitable for enclosed facilities where exhaust emissions and operating noise need to be minimized.
Dual Electric Drive System
The CPD-05 uses a dual-drive configuration with the front drive wheels independently powered.
The specified drive motor power is 1,500 W.
The dual-drive structure helps provide:
Responsive acceleration
Precise low-speed control
Smooth movement
Flexible steering
Independent wheel drive
Efficient power transmission
The system is especially useful for frequent start-stop operations in warehouses and workshops.
48V Electrical System
The CPD-05 uses a 48V / 46Ah electrical system.
The electrical system supplies power for the vehicle's travel, lifting and control functions.
The compact electrical configuration is suitable for light-duty indoor handling applications.
The battery configuration can be selected according to the actual production configuration and customer requirements.
2,000 mm Lifting Height
The standard CPD-05 provides a 2,000 mm lifting height.
This configuration is suitable for:
Low-level pallet stacking
Warehouse storage
Production material handling
Loading and unloading
Indoor transportation
Workshop operations
The lifting height can be customized according to the application and mast configuration.
Wide-View Mast
The CPD-05 adopts a wide-view mast design to improve operator visibility during travel and lifting.
The mast can provide a clearer forward view of:
Forks
Pallets
Storage racks
Working areas
Elevated loads
A hydraulic hose burst protection configuration can also be provided to help reduce the risk of uncontrolled lowering caused by hydraulic hose failure.
Enhanced Operator Visibility
The operator visibility system combines:
Wide-view mast
Large-radius overhead guard
Optimized roof panel angle
Increased upward visibility
Improved forward visibility
The optimized overhead guard structure increases the operator's view above the head, which is useful when positioning loads at elevated levels.
LCD Display and Fault Information
The CPD-05 can be equipped with a large LCD display.
The display allows the operator to monitor vehicle operating conditions and fault information more intuitively.
The intelligent control system can provide functions including:
Vehicle status display
Fault code display
Incorrect-operation alarm
Turning-speed reduction
Overload protection
Emergency power cut-off
Ramp anti-rollback
These functions help operators identify abnormal operating conditions and improve daily operating safety.
Comfortable Operator Design
The CPD-05 uses a seated operating configuration.
The steering wheel and seat can be adjusted to help the operator find a suitable driving position.
The ergonomic configuration helps:
Reduce operator fatigue
Improve driving comfort
Provide better steering control
Support repeated handling operations
The ratchet-type parking brake is designed to provide appropriate braking force for different operating conditions, including level ground and ramps.
Energy-Efficient Design
The CPD-05 is designed with several energy-saving features.
The vehicle can use dedicated electric forklift tires to reduce rolling resistance and improve travel efficiency.
The electric system can also incorporate regenerative braking to recover part of the braking energy.
Other energy-efficient components include:
LED signal lights
Efficient electric drive system
Regenerative braking
Professionally matched electrical components
Optimized motor control
These features help reduce energy consumption during repeated material handling operations.
Compact Vehicle Dimensions
The CPD-05 has a compact body suitable for confined working areas.
The main dimensions include:
Overall length: 1,530 mm
Overall width: 780 mm
Overall height with forks lowered: 1,600 mm
Overall height with forks raised: 2,610 mm
Fork length: 750 mm
Maximum fork width: 530 mm
Minimum fork ground clearance: 40 mm
Turning radius: 1,600 mm
Before selecting the forklift, customers should compare the overall dimensions with their aisle width, doorway dimensions, rack layout and operating area.
