By:SourceFactoriesAs warehouses and construction sites phase out lead-acid batteries, a key question emerges: is now the time to switch to lithium? The CE certified 1-5 ton electric forklift from YUNTU answers with a 72V/110AH lithium-ion system, solid tires, and multiple…
Market Need: Lithium-Ion Transition Accelerates
Procurement teams in manufacturing, construction, and logistics are increasingly asking: when should we replace our lead-acid fleet with lithium? The shift is driven by lower total cost of ownership, faster charging, and elimination of battery maintenance. Electric forklifts with lithium batteries now account for a growing share of new orders, especially in regions tightening indoor emissions standards. The 1–5 ton CE certified forklift from YUNTU addresses this exact transition point—offering scalable configurations that match the performance of traditional ICE and lead-acid units without the operational overhead.
Product Description: YT-CPD Series, 1–5 Ton Range
The YUNTU YT-CPD electric counterbalance forklift spans 1 t to 5 t load capacity, built on a steel chassis with either 3-wheel or 4-wheel drive configurations. It is powered by a sealed 72V/110AH lithium-ion battery pack, seated operation with forward drive, and delivers laden travel speeds up to 17 km/h depending on model. Fork dimensions vary across the range—1220 mm or 1070 mm length, 150 mm or 200 mm width—to handle standard and heavy pallets. Solid tires and a hydraulic side shifter come as standard, allowing safe operation on offroad, indoor flooring, outdoor pavement, and rough terrain. Mast options include two-stage and three-stage designs, with wheelbase and turning radius tuned per tonnage: 1950–2400 mm wheelbase and as tight as 1950 mm turning radius in certain models.
Proof Points: Certified Performance & Configuration Specs
The series holds CE, ISO, EPA, and EURO5 certifications, meeting safety and environmental regulations across global markets. Key technical parameters are summarized below, presented as feature–advantage pairs:
- 72V/110AH lithium battery: Opportunity charging, zero acid maintenance, and longer cycle life vs. lead-acid.
- Solid tires standard: Eliminates puncture downtime on rough or debris-covered floors.
- Hydraulic side shifter: Faster load alignment, reducing operator maneuvering and potential product damage.
- Gradeability up to 0.4 (laden) / 0.4 (unladen): Confident ramp and slope operation without derating.
- Travel speed 14–17 km/h (laden/unladen): Competitive cycle times in mid-sized warehouses and yards.
- Mast choice: two-stage vs. three-stage: Match lift height to racking without over-specifying.
- Turning radius down to 1950 mm: Maneuverable in narrow aisle environments.
- CE/ISO/EPA/EURO5 certifications: Ready for import into EU, North America, and regulated markets.
