Frequently Asked Questions
This high-power electric rough terrain forklift has a rated load capacity of 2500kg. In terms of power, it is equipped with a robust 309V/150Ah high-voltage Li-ion battery and a dual drive motor system (30kW rear, 15kW front/back), providing surging power for high-intensity rough terrain operations.
The RTF25-4L1-HV is equipped with a powerful 309V/150Ah high-voltage Li-ion battery, providing up to approximately 10 hours of continuous running time on a full charge, easily handling a full day of high-intensity operations. Even better, it supports 1-hour ultra-fast charging. If facing continuous overtime, operators can simply plug in the charger during their lunch break to quickly replenish a large amount of power, completely saying goodbye to the anxiety of having to "charge overnight" with old lead-acid batteries.
Yes. It offers a variety of mast height options, allowing you to smoothly lift goods to a maximum of 3.7 meters or even 4.5 meters (depending on the selected mast type). Whether unloading pallets from heavy-duty trucks or transporting cement and bricks to second-story scaffolding on a construction site, it can handle it with ease.
This is its biggest advantage over traditional diesel rough terrain forklifts! Because it is purely electrically driven, it has zero emissions, completely free of pungent diesel exhaust and loud engine noise. Combined with its highly compact body design (overall width of only 1.45 meters and height below 2 meters), you can confidently drive it straight from the muddy outdoors into indoor warehouses, basements, or even directly into standard shipping containers for internal operations.
Its off-road performance is extremely rugged. The maximum gradeability when fully loaded reaches a staggering 50% (48% unladen). To easily cross muddy or rugged roads, the laden ground clearance below the mast is up to 266mm, and the center of wheelbase ground clearance is 258mm. Furthermore, it is equipped with large pneumatic tires (front 280/80 R20, rear 27x10-12NHS) to ensure exceptional grip.
Standard industrial forklifts have low chassis and small tires; once driven into mud, gravel roads, or construction sites, they can easily get stuck, slip, or even damage the chassis. The RTF25-4L1-HV, however, is a "rough terrain warrior" designed specifically for extreme environments. It boasts an ultra-high ground clearance of up to 266mm, is equipped with large deep-tread pneumatic tires, and features an intelligently switchable 2WD/4WD system. This means whether on muddy farms, rugged forestry sites, or steep construction sites (with a laden gradeability of up to 50%), it provides unparalleled grip and traction, making it feel like driving on flat ground.
One of the biggest advantages of a Li-ion forklift is that it requires no daily maintenance! Compared to diesel rough terrain forklifts, which require regular oil and filter changes as well as frequent repairs to complex engines. The RTF25-4L1-HV is a purely electric rough terrain forklift, completely eliminating the maintenance hassles of internal combustion engines and achieving zero emissions. Meanwhile, its 309V high-voltage Li-ion battery is 100% maintenance-free, eliminating the need to regularly add water like old lead-acid batteries. You only need to perform basic mechanical checks regularly (such as checking tire pressure, brakes, and hydraulic components), which not only saves a lot of maintenance fees but also significantly reduces downtime for repairs.
Thanks to the high-voltage platform, its travel efficiency is extremely high. The maximum laden travel speed can reach 16 km/h, and the maximum unladen travel speed can reach an impressive 26 km/h, effectively improving the speed of material transfer in expansive outdoor areas (such as construction sites, farms, or forestry).
To reduce operator fatigue in bumpy outdoor environments, this truck comes standard with an upgraded half cabin and a warm air system. For handling, it is equipped standard with an advanced Fingertip hydraulic control system, making lifting and tilting operations effortless and extremely precise.
