CPD18TV8 1.8 Tonne Electric Cold Storage FLT
Hire from $83.00 per week
The CPD18TV8 is the step up in EP’s cold-storage range for Perth operators who need more capacity in chilled and frozen environments without moving to a larger truck than the job requires.
- 1.8 tonne cold-storage electric forklift
- Built for refrigerated and frozen facilities
- Solid tyres for cold-floor stability
- Buy or hire from Compass
Compact Electric Forklift
Built for tight spaces.
Ready for anything.
The CPD18TV8 is the 1.8 tonne version of EP’s TV8 cold-storage series. EP positions the range around cold-resistant hydraulic and electrical systems, corrosion-resistant components and performance down to -30°C, with solid tyres and a seated counterbalance design for cold-chain applications.
For Perth sites, the CPD18TV8 is the model to look at when the 1.5 tonne class is starting to feel tight in cold storage work. It suits frozen food warehouses, refrigerated logistics operations and cold rooms where more weight is being handled but the truck still needs to stay manageable in a confined environment. Compass Forklifts can supply the CPD18TV8 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

To check whether this model suits your site, send your pallet weight, temperature range, aisle width, lift height and your Perth location, and we will guide you from there.
