The fleet
We don’t run a 200-machine catalogue. These five EP and BYD models cover the real jobs Melbourne warehouses and factories do every day — from single-phase small sites to 3.5 tonne heavy loads and full-free-lift container work.
The no-three-phase entry point
The only forklift here that charges from a single-phase 15A outlet — built for small warehouses without three-phase power.
