Applicable Scenario
The 2.5-ton model fits between the 2-ton and 3-ton classes: extra capacity for pallets in the 1.8–2.2-ton range that push a 2-ton truck close to its rated limit-without the larger footprint and cost of a 3-ton machine.
3PL Logistics & Medium Freight Warehousing
Stacking dense 1.8–2.2-ton pallets (canned goods, paper rolls, hardware) in high-racking systems.
Side-Shifter Integrated Stacking
Operating with built-in side-shifters or fork positioners without exceeding rated capacity limits.
Indoor-Outdoor Cross-Docking
Frequent transitions between indoor storage bays and outdoor loading docks, including ramp and slope handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose the 2.5-ton forklift instead of the 2-ton model if my pallets weigh around 1.8 tons?
+
-
The 1.8-ton load leaves only a 10% safety margin on the 2-ton machine. Once you add a side-shifter or lift above 4 meters, capacity derating will overload a 2-ton machine. The 2.5-ton model provides the essential capacity reserve for safe, daily operation.
Can this 2.5-ton model handle outdoor dock ramps and slopes?
+
-
Yes. Fitted with high-torque dual AC drive motors and a heavy chassis, it handles up to 20% full-load gradeability, making it ideal for moving cargo between indoor racks and outdoor truck docks.
How does this 2.5-ton model differ from the 3-ton model?
+
-
The 2.5-ton model offers a slightly shorter turning radius (~2200mm) and lower service weight, making it more agile in medium-sized warehouses. The 3-ton model is built for continuous, heavy 2.0–2.5t pallet stacking in high-throughput logistics hubs.
Can the CPD25-C be used outdoors?
+
-
It can be considered for suitable outdoor surfaces and operating conditions, but site conditions, tire configuration, weather exposure and ground quality should be evaluated before selection.
What information should I provide for a quotation?
+
-
Maximum and typical load weight, load dimensions, load centre if known, required lift height, operating environment, daily operating hours and attachment requirements.
