Compact Electric Forklift
Built for tight spaces.
Ready for anything.
The TVL201 is the 2.0 tonne version of EP’s TVL range. EP positions it around dual 5.0 kW drive motors, 80V lithium-ion power, an integrated 35A single-phase charger, and a compact footprint suited to narrow aisles under 3.5 metres. It also uses the same high-strength mast as the CPD20L2, which EP says improves visibility and stability under load.
For Perth warehouses, the TVL201 is the clean step up when the work is getting heavier but the layout is still tight. It suits staging areas, loading zones and narrower travel paths where a larger forklift can become awkward. The integrated charger keeps the daily routine simple, while the 80V setup gives stronger shift performance than a lighter-duty electric platform. Compass Forklifts can supply the TVL201 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

TVL201 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about the TVL201? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this compact 3 wheel electric forklift, from hire options to performance and suitability.
Is the TVL201 mainly for indoor use?
Yes. It is designed for warehouse work, narrow aisles and tighter loading areas where a compact electric forklift makes more sense than a larger counterbalance. EP positions the TVL range for indoor warehousing, narrow aisles and dock or side-bay loading tasks.
What is the main difference between the TVL181 and TVL201?
The TVL201 gives you more capacity. It moves the same compact three-wheel concept from 1800 kg to 2000 kg while staying in the same TVL narrow-aisle family. EP lists the turning radius at 1585 mm compared with 1550 mm on the TVL181.
How tight a space can the TVL201 work in?
EP says the TVL range suits small warehouses with narrow aisles under 3.5 metres. The published aisle width figures for the TVL201 are 3315 mm for 1000 x 1200 pallets crossways and 3435 mm for 800 x 1200 pallets lengthways.
How long will it run on a charge?
EP positions the TVL range around up to 6 working hours per charge, depending on usage.
Is the TVL201 a good rental forklift?
Yes. EP specifically notes the TVL range is ideal for rental operations because of its opportunity-charging capability and simple charging setup.
Why choose the TVL201 over a 4-wheel electric forklift?
Choose the TVL201 when the site is still tight, but the loads are getting heavier. A 4-wheel electric usually makes more sense when the site is more open and stability in broader work areas matters more than tight turning.
