Baoli, the forklift manufacturer belonging to the KION Group, is launching the electric KBET 15-20Li series. The new 3-wheeled KBET 15Li, 18Li and 20Li models, with lifting capacities of 1.5 to 2.0 t and lifting heights of up to 6.5 m, are ideal for use in confined spaces.
Thanks to the new design and compact chassis, they achieve a turning radius of only 1.6 m. This should make them particularly efficient in narrow aisles and confined storage areas.
Equipped with an 80V/228Ah lithium-ion battery, the KBET series offers fast charging and the option of intermediate charging without stressing the battery. The maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries do not emit any harmful gases during charging.
The KBET 15-20 Li series is powered by two electric motors on the front drive wheels and a lift motor with AC technology, ensuring efficient operation with significantly reduced energy consumption. The oil-cooled multi-disc brakes require less maintenance compared to drum brakes. These electric forklifts offer high travel and lifting speeds as well as above-average gradeability.

The KBET forklifts feature a metal mesh step and a large grab handle for safe entry and exit. An electronic direction switch allows for intuitive changes of direction. The rear grab handle with integrated horn ensures safe reversing, while the foot-operated parking brake simplifies access to the operator's seat and speeds up operation. For operator comfort, the KBET series is also equipped with two storage compartments, USB ports, and a color display.
EMEA Brand Manager Francesco Pampuri: “The KBET 15-20 Li series offers outstanding maneuverability, high operational efficiency, and efficient solutions for confined workspaces. It complements our 4-wheel KBE 18-20 series and, in our opinion, sets a new benchmark in this segment.”
