CESAB Material Handling has launched its B200 three wheel forklift which it describes as a “compact, manoeuvrable and high performance option for businesses looking for greater capacity and efficiencies in their materials handling operations”.

The forklift features a compact chassis configuration, load capacities from 1.0 up to 1.5 tonnes, 24 volt motors and delivers 180° rotation of the rear single wheel. In addition, it has a 6505mm lift height making it a strong alternative to a reach truck in stacking operations, according to the company.

The B200 is an updated version of CESAB’s Blitz model.

Terry Stephens, general manager of CESAB Material Handling UK says: “The CESAB B200’s versatility makes it a smart investment for expanding companies looking for a compact, highly manoeuvrable electric forklift with enough lifting capacity to meet the needs of a growing business.

“The B200 range features our industry leading Intelligent Mast Design (IMD) system, which delivers unrivalled visibility through the mast with the highest levels of strength and durability as well as reduced noise and vibration.”

Optional proportional electronic controls integrated in a new armrest allow the operator to manage all the hydraulic functions by moving the mini-joystick or fingertip levers.

The CESAB B200 range has been designed to provide quick and easy access for battery maintenance and all major serviceable components. The standard fit lateral battery extraction allows battery change times to be minimised, optimising the truck’s productivity.
