Precision Electric & Hydraulic Control
AC Motor Drive Technology
The E16 uses AC motor technology to provide consistent electric power and efficient energy use during repeated warehouse handling cycles. Electric operation also supports lower noise and zero on-site exhaust emissions during normal use.
Fingertip Proportional Hydraulic Control
Fingertip hydraulic controls combined with proportional valve technology allow operators to manage lifting, lowering, and tilting with smooth and precise response, helping improve pallet positioning accuracy while reducing physical effort.
Compact Design & Precise Handling
Compact Three-Wheel Design
The three-point support configuration gives the E16 compact turning characteristics for narrow aisles, dock areas, container loading zones, and dense warehouse layouts where maneuvering space is limited.
Balanced Stability & Maneuverability
The three-wheel counterbalance architecture combines compact maneuverability with a balanced chassis structure to support predictable load control during turning, lifting, and directional changes.
Clear Visibility & Ergonomic Layout
Responsive steering, clear mast visibility, fingertip controls, and intuitive operator positioning help reduce fatigue and support accurate handling throughout long and high-frequency working shifts.
Productivity
Efficient Narrow Aisle Maneuvering
The compact three-wheel chassis helps operators move efficiently through narrow aisles, compact dock areas, staging zones, and production spaces where larger forklifts may require more turning room.
Precise Pallet Positioning
Proportional hydraulic control provides smoother lifting, lowering, and tilting response, helping reduce load swing and improve pallet positioning during stacking, loading, and confined-space handling.
Low-Fatigue High-Frequency Operation
Fingertip hydraulic controls reduce repeated physical effort during lifting and tilting, helping operators maintain handling accuracy and productivity during long shifts and high-frequency warehouse operations.
Maintenance & Operating Cost
The E16 is designed with simplified access to key components, helping maintenance teams perform routine inspection and service more efficiently while reducing unnecessary downtime.
The electric drivetrain supports reduced routine maintenance requirements compared with more complex fuel-powered equipment in suitable warehouse and indoor handling applications.
Efficient electric drive, easier maintenance access, compact maneuverability, and precise hydraulic control help reduce energy use, service complexity, positioning errors, and long-term operating costs.
Applications
Narrow Aisle Warehousing
Designed for warehouses and distribution centers where compact turning, accurate pallet positioning, and efficient movement through narrow aisles and dense storage layouts are required.
Manufacturing & E-Commerce Logistics
Suitable for manufacturing line-side supply, finished goods movement, retail logistics, and e-commerce fulfillment operations requiring frequent short-distance pallet handling and precise load control.
Cold Storage & Temperature-Controlled Facilities
The E16 can be used in cold storage and temperature-controlled facilities when the configuration is matched to actual operating temperature, moisture and condensation exposure, battery requirements, charging conditions, and floor conditions.
Options
Mast & Fork Configuration
Mast configuration, lifting requirements, fork size, and related attachment needs can be matched according to pallet dimensions, load weight, required lift height, and warehouse operating conditions.
Battery & Charger Configuration
Battery type, capacity, charger requirements, charging windows, and daily shift patterns can be reviewed according to the required operating time and application environment.
Tires & Safety Options
Tire type, safety lights, and other application-specific options can be selected according to floor condition, indoor or semi-indoor operation, loading areas, and project requirements.
