MCM E35 Electric Forklift — Key Features & Specifications
SILENT POWER, CLEAN ENERGY, BUILT FOR AFRICA
The MCM E35 Electric Forklift 🔋 Heavy-Duty. Lithium-Powered. Free-Lift Ready.
The MCM E35 delivers 3.5-ton (3,500 kg) lifting strength with the speed, height, and battery life to handle container yards, large warehouses, and heavy industrial sites — all with zero emissions and a quiet, opportunity-charging lithium drivetrain.
With a 76.8 V / 350 Ah ZAPI lithium-ion battery system, a 16.6 kW AC drive motor, and a 13 kW pump motor, the E35 reaches 19.5 km/h travel speed and lifts 330 mm/s under load. The standard 4,500 mm mast with 1,025 mm free-lift works inside containers, under low ceilings, and in trailer beds where overhead clearance matters.
