Battery System

72V / 260Ah

Heavy Load Range

Applicable Scenario

The 3.5-ton electric forklift targets the pallet weight zone where 3-ton trucks run out of margin: 2.2–2.8-ton loads, handled with built-in attachments and residual capacity to spare at 4.5–6.0 m rack heights.

Integrated Attachment Operations

Using built-in side-shifters, fork positioners, or bale clamps without suffering severe load capacity derating.

Beverage & Agricultural Wholesale Hubs

High-density stacking of liquid cases, grain bags, and bottled goods weighing 2.2–2.8 tons per pallet.

High Racking Warehousing (4.5m–6.0m)

Lifting heavy goods to top rack levels where structural mast stability and residual capacity are critical.

Key Features

The CPD35-C is positioned for operations where loads regularly move into the upper end of the 3-ton handling range-3,500 kg rated capacity at 500 mm load centre, with engineered margin that keeps net lifting capacity at 2.5–3.0 tons even with hydraulic attachments installed.

Engineered Capacity Margin Against Attachment Derating

Installing hydraulic attachments adds deadweight and shifts the load centre forward. The 3.5-ton upgraded counterweight chassis keeps a full net lifting capacity of 2.5–3.0 tons-without expanding the truck's footprint.

Heavy-Duty Mast Channels for Minimal High-Lift Deflection

High-tensile nested steel channels and wide-stance lift cylinders drastically reduce mast sway and forward tilt when holding heavy pallets at 4.5–6.0 m.

High-Flow Multi-Spool Hydraulics for Medium Attachments

High-pressure pumps and multi-spool auxiliary valves deliver fast, smooth oil flow to side-shifters, fork positioners, and light clamps without pressure drops.

80V PMSM Drive & Lift System with Integrated Cooling

PMSM drive and lift motors with MOSFET-based AC inverter control deliver high torque under an 80V architecture, while integrated controller cooling maintains full hydraulic lifting power and travel speed through continuous multi-shift duty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 3.5 ton forklift lift 3,500 kg at any lift height?

Not necessarily. The rated capacity is based on a specified load centre and lifting configuration. As the load centre increases or the load is lifted higher, the actual allowable capacity can change. If you regularly handle loads close to 3,500 kg, provide us with the load weight, dimensions, load centre and required lift height so the correct configuration can be confirmed.

What types of loads is the 3.5 ton electric forklift suitable for?

The 3.5 ton class is well suited to heavier industrial loads such as machine components, castings, automotive assemblies, fabricated metal products and heavy palletized materials. It is particularly useful when these loads frequently approach the capacity range where a standard 3 ton forklift starts to become limiting.

Why should I choose a 3.5-ton forklift instead of a 3-ton model if my pallets weigh around 2.3–2.5 tons?

If your pallets weigh 2.5 tons, a 3-ton forklift leaves almost zero safety margin. Once you add a side-shifter or lift above 4 meters, the 3-ton machine will be derated and overload. A 3.5-ton model provides the necessary counterweight margin to handle 2.5-ton loads safely.

Is this 3.5-ton model factory pre-piped for hydraulic attachments?

Yes. It comes standard with 3-spool or 4-spool auxiliary hydraulic control valves and internal hosing through the mast, making it plug-and-play for side-shifters, fork positioners, or rotating clamps.

How does this model differ from the 4-5 ton heavy outdoor models?

The 3.5-ton model retains a compact indoor/outdoor design that can still navigate standard warehouse rack aisles while handling heavy attachments. The 4-5 ton model features a larger outdoor chassis designed primarily for heavy yard freight, lumber, and outdoor ramps.
