1.6 Ton 3‑Wheel Electric Forklift – Compact Battery‑Powered Counterbalance Truck

The 1.6 Ton 3‑Wheel Electric Forklift from GOODSENSE Forklift UAE is a compact yet powerful battery‑powered counterbalance truck built for efficient material handling in tight indoor and semi‑outdoor environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, retail logistics zones, and loading bays across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah). With its 3‑wheel configuration, this forklift offers excellent manoeuvrability, a small turning radius, and smooth electric performance — ideal for busy operations with space constraints.

Electric forklifts are increasingly chosen for their quiet operation, zero emissions, low maintenance, and reduced ownership costs compared with diesel or LPG models, making them a smarter choice for indoor logistics workflows.

🔥 Key Features & Benefits

⚡ Strong Electric Drive & Battery System

• Powerful 48 V battery provides consistent power delivery for lifting and travelling tasks throughout the workday.

• Side battery change system allows fast swapping to minimize downtime — critical for multi‑shift operations.
