Compact Electric Forklift
Built for tight spaces.
Ready for anything.
The TVL182 is EP’s newer 1.8 tonne compact three-wheel electric forklift. It uses an integral cast chassis, dual 80V PMS drive motors, lithium power, and an overall overhead guard height under 2000 mm. EP positions it for low-ceiling warehouses, containers and tight aisles where a conventional forklift will struggle. The published turning radius is 1641 mm and max lift height is 6000 mm.
For Perth sites, the TVL182 makes sense where height is just as important as turning space. If you are working in lower buildings, through container access, or in warehouse areas where headroom is tight, this model gives you a compact electric solution without giving away structural stability. The cast chassis, lower centre of gravity and PMS motor system are the big differences here. Compass Forklifts can supply the TVL182 for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.

TVL182 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about the TVL182 FLT? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this compact yet high performing electric forklift, from hire options to performance and suitability.
What makes the TVL182 different from the earlier TVL181?
The TVL182 uses EP’s integral cast chassis and PMS motor setup. In practice, that means more focus on rigidity, lower-centre-of-gravity stability and low-clearance site fit.
Is the TVL182 suitable for low-ceiling warehouses?
Yes. EP specifically positions the TVL182 for low-ceiling warehouses and states the overhead guard height is 1984 mm.
Can the TVL182 handle ramps safely?
EP highlights automatic stop on ramp, electromagnetic parking brake and turn speed control as part of the safety package.
Does the TVL182 have more than one charging option?
Yes. It comes with an internal 80V/35A charger and can also connect to external chargers up to 100A.
Is the TVL182 still suitable for narrow aisles?
Yes. It is compact enough for tighter warehouse work, but the main reason to choose it is the combination of manoeuvrability, stability and lower overall height.
