Lifting heavy loads should be easy and breezy, and the new E-series LiuGong forklifts from CES Forklifts does the heavy lifting for you.

The new E-series comes in a variety of models and is either diesel- or battery powered. These small but strong forklifts were on display at NAMPO Cape this year. André Potgieter, Marketing Manager for CES Forklifts, explained that the E-series is an improvement on their previous A-series.

The E-series is available from a 1,5 tonne to a 16 tonne forklift.

André Potgieter, Marketing Manager at CES Forklifts talking about the new E25 electric forklift at NAMPO Cape 2024.

“It comes in a diesel model or the new electrical model that is specifically used in packing stores where clients work with bins and palettes. It has a 404 amp, 80 V battery and a production time of eight hours,” he explained.

While the initial cost of the electric forklift may be more, André says that the long-term savings quickly make up for the initial cost.

The E-series consist of the E20 and E25 diesel engines and the E20ESJ, E20EMJ, E25ESJ and E25EMJ electric forklifts.
