MLift FB16TU Electric Forklift 1.6t

3-Wheel Electric Forklift for Tight Spaces and Indoor Operations

The MLIFT FB16TU is a compact three-wheel electric forklift delivering a 1,600 kg lifting capacity in a tight, manoeuvrable frame purpose-built for indoor environments. Powered by a dual front-drive AC motor system and equipped with a lithium-ion battery as standard, the FB16TU offers quiet, emission-free performance with a small turning radius of just 1,620 mm — making it equally at home navigating narrow aisles or busy warehouse floors. Low maintenance, high productivity, and zero fumes make it the smart choice for operations moving away from LPG indoors.

Ideal For

  • Warehousing, retail distribution, and pick-and-pack operations
  • Narrow aisle and confined indoor environments
  • Food production, pharmaceutical, and clean manufacturing facilities
  • Cold stores and temperature-controlled environments
  • Operations transitioning from LPG or lead-acid electric to lithium-ion
