3T Compact Electric Forklift
EFS151 Forklift Model
The EFS151 is a 1.5 tonne three-wheel electric counterbalance forklift designed for sites where access is limited and turning space matters. EP positions it around a compact sub-2.0 metre overall height, a 1535 mm turning radius, a 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery and an integrated 48V/50A charger, making it well suited to mezzanines, freight lifts, older warehouses and low-ceiling work areas.
For Perth sites, the EFS151 is a sensible option where the work is light to medium duty but the environment is awkward. It suits older industrial units, confined warehouse layouts and places where a larger truck becomes more trouble than it is worth. The lithium setup supports opportunity charging, while the compact height keeps it practical for buildings with tighter access restrictions. Compass Forklifts can supply the EFS151 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

EFS151 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about the EFS151? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this 3T compact electric forklift, from hire options to performance and suitability.
Is the EFS151 mainly for low-ceiling sites?
Yes. That is one of its biggest strengths. EP positions it for spaces under 2.0 metres high, including freight lifts, older factories and underground car parks.
How tight a space can the EFS151 work in?
The published turning radius is 1535 mm, and EP describes it as suited to narrow aisles and mezzanines.
Is the EFS151 lithium as standard?
Yes. EP lists a 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery with an integrated charger as the core version, and also mentions an AGM alternative.
Would this suit a busy 24/7 warehouse?
It can suit multi-shift work where opportunity charging is practical, but it is still positioned as a light to medium-duty truck rather than a heavy-duty platform.
Why choose the EFS151 over a larger 3-wheel model?
Choose the EFS151 when ceiling height, confined access, and compact handling matter more than stepping up in capacity or shift performance.
