The DNA of a HELI Forklift
HELI’s approach is straightforward. In addition to our proprietary components, HELI partners with leading specialists for drivetrain, power, battery and control technology. By combining world class component suppliers with HELI’s manufacturing expertise, all our forklifts are reliable, easy to maintain and designed for demanding warehouse, logistics and industrial conditions.
Built Around Proven Engineering
Power You Can Trust: Kubota Stage V Engines
Selected HELI diesel forklifts are powered by Kubota Stage V engines. Kubota engines are recognised worldwide for their durability, fuel efficiency and low emissions. Designed for smooth power delivery, reliable cold starting and durability, Kubota powered HELI forklifts deliver proven performance and productivity.
Power You Can Trust: Cummins Stage V Engines
For heavy duty applications, HELI utilises Cummins Stage V engines. Cummins is one of the world’s most recognised engine manufacturers, supplying trucks, construction equipment and industrial machinery. All Cummins engines deliver high torque, excellent reliability and the durability needed for intensive materials handling applications.
Trusted Worldwide: ZF Transmissions
ZF technology is used across HELI’s materials handling equipment and HELI has developed a long-term relationship with ZF, one of the world’s leading transmission and driveline technology companies. The partnership has extended to a dedicated joint venture focused on transmission and driveline development for industrial vehicles. The ZF transmissions delivers smooth and efficient power delivery, increasing service life and improving the driving environment for the operator.
Lithium Power from a Global Leader: CATL Batteries
The battery is the heart of every electric forklift. HELI’s partnership with CATL, the world’s largest electric vehicle battery manufacturer has resulted in investment in the development and production of lithium batteries specifically designed for industrial applications and tailored to the demands of materials handling.
Intelligent Control Systems: ZAPI, VADER & InMotion Controllers
Every HELI relies on sophisticated electronic control systems to manage power delivery, drive performance and energy efficiency. Many HELI electric forklifts utilise ZAPI controllers, a globally recognised name in electric vehicle control technology. Alongside ZAPI, HELI also utilises VADER and InMotion control systems on selected models.
Together, ZAPI and VADER technologies help ensure that HELI electric forklifts deliver predictable, controllable and efficient performance throughout their working life.
Safety Designed In: Operator Presence System (OPS)
Productivity is important, but safety comes first. HELI’s Operator Presence System is designed to help reduce risks by monitoring the operator and vehicle status. The system helps prevent unintended truck movement providing additional protection for both operators and pedestrians. Safety is at the heart of every HELI, ensuring a safer working environments without compromising productivity.
Why Component Choice Matters
When you invest in a HELI forklift, you are investing in a truck built around proven engineering and globally recognised technology. From Kubota and Cummins engines to ZF transmissions, CATL lithium batteries, advanced control systems and integrated safety technology, every component is selected to support reliability, performance and productivity.
Reducing downtime, improving productivity and reducing costs is in the DNA of every HELI forklift. With over six decades of materials handling expertise with carefully selected technology partners, HELI focuses on the components that matter, because we believe quality starts from within.
