1.6T Compact Electric Forklift
TDL161 Forklift Model
The TDL161 is the 1.6 tonne model in EP’s 48V TDL range. EP positions it around hydraulic steering, dual 5.4 kW drive motors, opportunity charging, a larger operator compartment and a standard 48V/50A integrated charger. The published specs list 1600 kg capacity, 6000 mm max lift height, 1605 mm turning radius and a 48V 280Ah lithium-ion battery.
For Perth businesses, the TDL161 is a good option when the goal is not extreme compactness or top-end performance, but a reliable electric forklift that covers regular warehouse, dock and logistics work well. It suits larger warehouses, side-bay loading and day-to-day internal handling where comfort and steady performance matter more than squeezing into the absolute tightest spaces. Compass Forklifts can supply the TDL161 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

TDL161 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about the TDL161? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this 1.6T compact electric forklift, from hire options to performance and suitability.
Is the TDL161 mainly for warehouse use?
Yes. EP positions it for warehouses, docks, side-bay lorries and logistics centres, so it suits that style of day-to-day handling work well.
What is the advantage of the hydraulic steering?
EP highlights hydraulic steering because it improves precision and gives a more responsive feel while keeping the structure simple and reliable.
Does the TDL161 come with a charger?
Yes. EP lists a 48V/50A integrated charger as standard.
Is the TDL161 a smaller, compact forklift?
Yes. It is a three-wheel layout, so it is designed for tighter warehouse work than a larger four-wheel machine.
When would I choose this over the TDL162?
Choose the TDL161 when you want a simpler 48V setup and do not need the stronger gradeability and higher-performance 80V platform of the TDL162.
