Special Purpose Lithium Container Forklift

6–10 Tonne Lithium Container Entry Forklifts for Heavy Loads

Most forklifts used inside shipping containers lift less than 5 tonnes. Because of this, they often struggle to safely load and unload overweight goods. As a result, operators face delays, extra handling, and reduced efficiency.

To solve this problem, HELI developed the lithium-powered CPCD60, CPCD80 and CPCD100 container entry forklifts. These machines offer 6 to 10 tonne lifting capacity and are purpose-built for working inside containers, while delivering the benefits of modern lithium electric technology.

They allow operators to handle heavier loads where standard container forklifts fall short, while also providing cleaner and more efficient operation.

Designed for Container Work

These HELI lithium forklifts feature a low overall height and narrow body design, allowing them to meet the strict size limits required for container operation.

The control system is optimised for low-height environments, improving stability and making operation inside containers safer and easier.

This design allows operators to move heavy goods in containers without sacrificing visibility or control.

Lithium Power and Efficient Performance

The HELI lithium container entry forklifts combine a modern structural design with advanced electric drive technology.

The high-capacity lithium battery system provides strong, consistent power while reducing operating costs. Lithium technology also allows for fast charging and opportunity charging, meaning the forklift can be topped up during breaks to maximise uptime.

Compared with traditional diesel machines, lithium power provides:

• Zero exhaust emissions

• Lower noise levels

• Reduced servicing requirements

• Lower long-term operating costs

A high-efficiency electric drive and hydraulic system ensures smooth lifting performance while reducing energy consumption.

Cooling, Braking and Steering Systems

The forklift is designed for reliable performance during long operating hours.

A heavy-duty cooling system keeps the electrical components and battery operating efficiently. The powered braking system delivers strong and responsive braking, while the steering system provides smooth and precise control.

This makes the forklift easy to operate in tight container environments and confined working spaces.

Operator Comfort and Visibility

HELI designed these forklifts with the operator in mind.

Headlamps mounted on the overhead guard and mast improve visibility inside containers. The wide-view mast and large rear-view mirrors provide clear sight lines during lifting and reversing.

Noise reduction materials and improved sealing help create a quieter and more comfortable operating environment.

The machine also features an adjustable steering wheel and digital display, giving operators real-time information about the forklift’s performance and battery status.

Safety and Reliability

Several features improve both safety and durability.

The lifting system includes smoother load lowering control, helping prevent sudden movements. The steering axle is designed to resist dust and water, extending maintenance intervals.

The integrated electrical control system is sealed for protection and simplifies servicing.

Additional safety features help protect the machine and operator during heavy-duty container work.

Easy Maintenance and Service Access

HELI designed the forklift to keep maintenance simple.

Key service points are easy to access, reducing downtime and making routine checks faster. The lithium battery system also reduces many of the maintenance requirements associated with traditional diesel forklifts.Ideal for Container Operations

HELI’s 6T, 8T and 10T lithium container entry forklifts are designed specifically for working inside containers.

They are also well suited for low-height environments, warehouses, and enclosed loading areas where traditional forklifts cannot operate effectively.

With strong lifting capacity, lithium efficiency, and a compact container-ready design, these forklifts provide a reliable solution for demanding material handling operations.
