Grant Handling launches the new Heli Electric Pallet Truck (1,500 kg) with Manual Lowering
A simple, practical step up from a manual pump truck with electric drive and lift
Grant Handling introduces the Heli Electric Pallet Truck 1,500 kg with manual lowering (CBD15J‑LI‑S). Purpose‑built for teams that want electric drive and lift in a straightforward, operator‑friendly package. The truck retains the intuitive manual‑lower control operators know from a pump truck yet matches the under‑load lowering speed of fully electric models.
The result is a reliable, low‑maintenance upgrade from manual equipment that boosts productivity and eases handling, without unnecessary electronics or cost. If you’re seeking an affordable way to electrify everyday pallet movements, this model delivers.
Key Features & Benefits
Efficient Lithium‑Ion Power
A 24V/30Ah Li‑ion battery supports reliable daily use. The open battery design makes it easy to access for charging and upkeep, helping keep downtime low.
Simple, Convenient Charging
Supplied with a compact charger that plugs into a standard 3‑pin socket—perfect for charging in the warehouse, back office, or on the move.
Electric Lift + Manual Lowering Control
Raise loads electrically via the button on the tiller arm; lower with a comfortable manual release lever for smooth, intuitive control across varied handling environments.
Excellent Manoeuvrability
A small turning radius makes light work of narrow aisles, delivery vehicles, and busy pick areas.
Easy‑to‑Use Tiller Controls
Ergonomic handle with forward/reverse control on the tiller head keeps operation simple and efficient for all experience levels.
Built for Everyday Warehouse Use
It provides the electric drive and lift assistance your team needs. You’ll see reduced manual effort and better productivity throughout the shift.
Built‑In Safety
Features including an anti‑collision crush pad on the tiller head, an always‑on electromagnetic and motor brake for secure stopping, and a clear battery level indicator to help plan charging and avoid unexpected downtime.
What is Manual Lowering?
On this model, drive and lift are electric (operated via buttons on the tiller), while lowering is controlled manually with a lever on the handle (and at the base). Pulling the lever opens the hydraulic release, allowing the forks to descend smoothly. With a load on the forks, lowering speed is naturally quick and comparable to fully electric pallet truck. This is due to the weight‑assisted descent.
Who It’s Designed For?
The Heli CBD15J‑LI‑S is purpose‑built for operations stepping up from manual pallet trucks and wanting an affordable, low‑complexity first move into powered handling. It’s equally at home in occasional or shared‑use settings where straightforward controls and minimal upkeep keep teams productive. Thanks to its compact footprint and tight turning circle, it excels on delivery vehicles, in back‑of‑store areas, and across compact stockrooms where manoeuvrability and easy, plug‑into‑a‑3‑pin‑socket charging really matter. And for cost‑conscious buyers, it delivers the essentials—electric drive and electric lift—paired with the familiar, confidence‑inspiring feel of manual lowering, striking the right balance between simplicity, usability and value.
