Forklifts for Efficient, Cost-Effective Material Handling

TCM 1 – 3.5 Ton Electric Forklift

The FB10-9 – FB35-9S Series electric forklifts are well suited to warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres where space efficiency, precise control and uptime are critical. Alongside strong performance, these electric trucks deliver improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs, making them a practical long-term choice for high-cycle applications. 

Reduced vibration and smooth acceleration help minimise tyre wear, extending component life and lowering maintenance costs. An auto power-off function shuts the truck down after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to prevent unnecessary battery drain, while the Operation Interlock System (OIS) disables travel and lifting functions if the operator is not seated—reducing the risk of unintended movement and improving overall safety. 

Controlled Productivity with Integrated Safety

A central management system provides: 

  • Driving and Load Handling Control: delivers driving performance and load handling, while adjustable operating modes help tailor performance to site conditions, improving productivity and energy efficiency. 
  • Safety Control: includes sensing controls, pitching control and operation interlocks that help protect operators and goods by reducing the risk of unintended movement. 
  • Driving Control: speed management and automatic torque increase support safe operation while maintaining performance under varying loads. 
  • Recharge and Charging Control: extends battery runtime and improves serviceability, easing maintenance demands. Power management uses regenerative functions and a multifunction charging mode to optimise energy use. 

Durable Design for Stable, Efficient Handling

The TCM FB-9 range features an integrated frame design with a cast steel rear bumper, delivering the strength needed to absorb impacts in demanding environments and reduce damage to key components.

A low centre of gravity—achieved through optimised battery placement and axle configuration—enhances stability by limiting weight shift during travel and turning, resulting in smoother handling, improved balance and greater operator confidence.
