2T Compact Electric Forklift
TDL201 Forklift Model
The TDL201 is the 2.0 tonne version of EP’s 48V TDL range. EP positions it around hydraulic steering, dual 5.4 kW drive motors, lithium opportunity charging, integrated 48V/50A charging, a larger operator compartment, and optional joystick control. The published specs list 2000 kg capacity, 6000 mm max lift height, 1605 mm turning radius and a 48V 405Ah lithium-ion battery.
For Perth sites, the TDL201 is a good fit when the work is heavier than what the 1.6 tonne class can comfortably cover, but you still want a compact three-wheel electric rather than a larger machine. It suits internal warehouse zones, docks and logistics areas where the forklift needs to stay consistent through the day and carry more than the TDL161 without becoming oversized. Compass Forklifts can supply the TDL201 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

The TDL201 is the cleaner step up when the 1.6 tonne class is starting to feel tight on capacity but the site still needs a compact electric forklift rather than a broader four-wheel machine. We also support Perth metro with servicing, repairs and ongoing after-sales support. To check whether this model suits your site, send your typical pallet weight, aisle width, lift height, shift pattern and your Perth location, and we will guide you from there.

TDL201 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about the TDL201? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this 2T electric forklift, from hire options to performance and suitability.
What is the difference between the TDL161 and TDL201?
Capacity and battery size. The TDL201 moves the same general platform into the 2.0-tonne class and uses a larger battery setup.
Is the TDL201 still easy to manoeuvre?
Yes. It remains a three-wheel compact forklift, so it is still built for controlled handling in tighter warehouse work.
Does the TDL201 come with joystick control?
Joystick control is available as an option in the TDL range according to EP.
Is this a better fit for heavier warehouse work?
Yes. If the 1.6 tonne class is starting to feel light on capacity, the TDL201 gives you more room without leaving the compact electric category.
Can I buy, hire or lease the TDL201 through Compass?
Yes. Compass can supply it for purchase, hire or lease, depending on availability and what suits your operation best.
Would I choose this over the TDL162?
Choose the TDL201 when you need more capacity in the 48V TDL platform. Choose the TDL162 when stronger performance, ramps and gradeability matter more than extra capacity.
