MCM E30 Electric Forklift — Key Features & Specifications

SILENT POWER, CLEAN ENERGY, BUILT FOR AFRICA

The MCM E30 Electric Forklift 🔋 Heavy-Duty. Lithium-Powered. Zero-Emission.

The MCM E30 delivers 3-ton (3,000 kg) lifting strength with the speed, power, and battery life to take on what diesel forklifts have traditionally owned — container yards, large warehouses, heavy industry — without the fuel bill or exhaust fumes.

With a 153.6 V / 202 Ah Haitian lithium-ion battery system, a 29 kW AC drive motor, and a 22 kW pump motor, the E30 reaches 18.3 km/h travel speed and lifts 380 mm/s under load. Long shift life, fast charging, and zero on-site emissions — built for serious work.
