KBET 15-18 Series 1292 Electric Forklift

The KBET 15-18 has a lifting capacity of 1.5-1.8 tonnes.

The KBET 15-18 electric 3-wheel forklift is a nimble, versatile machine that bridges the gap between walkie stackers and larger counterbalance forklifts. Its defining feature is a very tight turning radius, making it particularly valuable in space-constrained environments. A strong all-rounder for small-to-medium warehouses offering full forklift capability in a more compact footprint, with lower running costs than an LPG or diesel machine and no emission concerns indoors.

The main trade-off versus a 4-wheel model is slightly reduced stability at full lift height with heavier loads, and less suitability for uneven outdoor surfaces or yard work. Its main uses include:

• Lifting palletised goods to full racking height (typically 5–7+ metres with appropriate mast), handling the full putaway and retrieval cycle across multiple rack levels.
• Pulling pallets from delivery vehicles at dock doors or ground level, and loading outbound shipments. The 1.5–1.8t capacity covers the vast majority of standard pallet weights encountered in general warehousing.
• Moving loads between receiving, storage, production, packing, and dispatch areas efficiently, with better speed and operator comfort than a walkie stacker over longer distances.
• Building pallet stacks in bulk storage areas to maximise floor space utilisation.
• Rapidly moving pallets from inbound to outbound docks with minimal handling time.
• Unloading inbound deliveries, positioning pallets for quality checks, and then moving them into storage locations.
• Positioning pallets in staging lanes, marshalling outbound orders, and loading sorted shipments onto trucks.
• Cold storage and enclosed facilities. Being fully electric with no exhaust emissions, it’s well suited to refrigerated warehouses, food-grade facilities, and any indoor environment with ventilation constraints.
