Warehouse & Distribution

Working conditions

Distribution centres combine receiving, put-away, racking, order picking and despatch under one roof. Trucks work indoors, often on smooth concrete, with narrow aisles and repeated short cycles rather than long hauls. The priority is manoeuvrability, clean emissions and a charging routine that does not interrupt the picking window.

Where racking is high, mast height matters as much as capacity. A 3,000 mm two-stage mast is the standard configuration, with 4,500 mm and 6,000 mm three-stage masts available on request.

Recommended capacity and models

For pallet work inside the building, the 1.5–4.0 t electric counterbalance range covers most duties. The FS-CPD20 and FS-CPD25 are the common starting points for 2.0–2.5 t pallets, while the FS-CPD15 and FS-CPD18 suit lighter retail and light-manufacturing work. For horizontal movement, 1.5 t walkie stackers and pallet trucks take over short transfers and reduce the number of counterbalance trucks needed.

• Electric counterbalance trucks on 76.8 V (80 V platform) LiFePO4 packs in 125, 150 and 202 Ah ratings, or lead-acid
• FS-CDD15 stand-on stacker and FS-CBD15 pallet truck for 1.5 t horizontal and low-lift work
• Opportunity charging between tasks, without a battery swap

What to confirm before ordering

• Aisle width and turning radius — the FS-CPD20 turns in 2,090 mm
• Racking height against the mast option: 3,000 mm standard, 4,500 / 6,000 mm on request
• Shift pattern and where the truck can charge during breaks
• Load centre and attachment needs, such as side shifters

Buyers in this segment often order a mixed container of counterbalance trucks and warehouse equipment. Lead time is 30–45 working days after deposit (standard models), and mixed loads can be consolidated in one container from Qingdao Port.
