Cold Storage Operation
Designed for freezer operations, the CPD18TV8 performs reliably in sub-zero environments. Electronics are sealed to IP67 and oils are specified for low-temperature flow, so the truck starts and operates smoothly at temperatures as low as -40 °C. Its thermal management keeps battery and component temperatures stable, delivering consistent performance without long warm-up periods.

Application
This Cold Storage forklift is the ideal solution for businesses with narrow aisle refrigeration operations. Perfect for indoor freezer warehousing, loading and unloading tasks, this compact 3-wheel truck excels where space is limited, offering excellent maneuverability with a tight turning radius. With its freezer-rated components and reliable handling, the CPD18TV8 is the pocket-rocket you need for efficient cold-chain material handling.
Corrosion Resistance
Freezer conditions can cause moisture and condensation, so the CPD18TV8 is treated to resist corrosion. All exposed metal parts are covered with electrophoretic primer and powder paint, providing superior protection against rust in high-humidity environments. This multi-layer coating keeps the frame and moving components safe from moisture damage. The result is a longer service life and greater reliability, so the truck will not corrode under cold and wet conditions.
Compact Performance
The compact 3-wheel layout gives the CPD18TV8 exceptional maneuverability in tight spaces. It has a very short 1,575 mm turning radius, letting it weave through narrow aisles and confined racking systems with ease. Despite its small footprint, the truck can still lift to tall rack heights while maintaining excellent stability. This makes it ideal for high-density freezer warehouses, where space is tight and every centimetre of storage counts.
Freezer Durability
Every component is built for durability in freezing conditions. Key electronics and connectors are waterproof and rubber-sealed to prevent water ingress or short circuits when moving in and out of cold storage. The hydraulic system uses special low-temperature oil and stainless-steel fittings, which stay supple and corrosion-free at -40 °C. These features together mean the CPD18TV8 keeps working hard in damp, icy environments without failure.
