Designed with a 2-tonne lifting capacity, 4.8-metre triplex mast, and 1200mm forks, this compact yet capable forklift is ideal for warehouse and container operations. Its coupled rear-wheel 3-wheel design offers exceptional manoeuvrability in tight spaces, while the extra-wide mast enhances forward visibility for safer and more efficient handling. Powered by a high-performance 48V/404Ah lithium battery, the GBL 20 features fast charging capability, allowing for “charge and use” anytime operation, with zero emissions, reduced noise, and no maintenance required. The intelligent Curtis controller system and permanent magnet motor improve heat dissipation, reduce copper usage, and increase energy efficiency by up to 20%. The forklift includes premium components such as Cascade fork positioners, sideshift, load backrest, container lights, reverse light, solid tyres, and a beacon for enhanced visibility. Operators benefit from Giraffe-branded extra comfort seating, a large-screen intuitive display, a foot heater, Radio and an intelligent wake-up system that verifies all components are ready before start-up. Safety is enhanced through automatic battery cut-off during long periods of inactivity, while the large-angle hood opening allows quick access for maintenance when needed. Smart, flexible, and built for high performance, the Giraffe GBL 20 is the next-generation forklift engineered for sustainability, productivity, and operator comfort — making it a perfect addition to any forward-thinking fleet.
