FTB16-20
Easy to use, simple to maintain.
The FTB16-20-Q1 is a 3-wheel electric counterbalance forklift designed for light to medium-duty tasks both indoors and outdoors. With 1,600 KG and 2,000 KG load capacity options and lift heights up to 6 meters, this forklift delivers optimum power and a 3-wheel small turning circle for effective performance in confined spaces without over specification.
Ideal for warehouses with narrow aisles, retail distribution centres, small manufacturing facilities, and operations where manoeuvrability is critical, the FTB16-20-Q1 combines TCM's engineering excellence with straightforward specifications for everyday material handling in tight spaces. The compact 1,920mm turning radius makes it particularly effective in confined warehouse environments.
Intuitive, straightforward mechanical control reduces training time and boosts productivity from day one, allowing operators to work confidently in tight spaces without extensive instruction. Comfort-focused seat design minimises vibration, reducing operator fatigue and enhancing focus during extended shifts of precision manoeuvring in confined areas.

Safety First.
In a workplace where manoeuvring in confined spaces is at the core of operations, safety regulations and procedures must be top priority.
The FTB16-20-Q1 incorporates essential safety features to reduce accidents and ensure reliable operation in tight warehouse environments. Full road light kit including hazard light button meets visibility standards for safer operation both indoors and outdoors. Blue spot projects a clear warning light onto the floor ahead of the forklift, particularly effective in narrow aisles where pedestrians may not see the truck approaching around corners.
High visibility strobe light enhances safety in low-light conditions, essential for warehouses with variable lighting or operations extending into early morning or evening hours. Audible alerts from the reverse warning buzzer improve awareness and prevent accidents during reversing manoeuvres—particularly important in narrow aisles where backing up is frequent and pedestrians may be in close proximity.
Parabolic mirror with wider rear visibility eliminates blind spots for safer navigation in confined spaces. This is critical for 3-wheel forklift operation where the operator must frequently reverse or reposition in tight areas with limited visibility. The enhanced rear visibility allows operators to manoeuvre confidently even in the tightest warehouse aisles.
Total Cost of Ownership.
The FTB16-20-Q1 is designed to reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO) through straightforward maintenance, energy-efficient Li-Ion technology, and long-lasting, reliable components optimised for confined space operations.
The maintenance-free 76.8V/125Ah Li-Ion battery (with 206Ah option) eliminates lead acid entirely—zero maintenance, no water filling, no sulfation issues. Rapid opportunity-charging allows topping up during breaks without dedicated battery rooms or changing equipment.
Superior shock absorption with front and rear super elastic tyres provides extended tyre life even with the frequent turning and manoeuvring characteristic of 3-wheel forklift operation in narrow aisles. Comfort-focused seat design minimises vibration transmission, reducing fatigue during shifts of continuous precision manoeuvring. And finally, the intuitive mechanical control is simple and reliable with minimal maintenance requirements. The straightforward design reduces potential failure points and simplifies servicing.
