Description

The Giraffe GBL25 Lithium Electric 4-Wheel Counterbalance Forklift offers exceptional power, performance, and sustainability for modern logistics and warehousing operations. With a 2.5-tonne lifting capacity, a 4.8 metre cascade triplex mast with full free lift, and 1200mm forks, it is designed to handle heavy loads with ease while maintaining superior balance and control. Finished in the signature Giraffe green and grey, this model features an 80V/205Ah lithium battery that supports fast charging, charge-and-use-anytime capability, and zero maintenance, making it ideal for businesses focused on efficiency and uptime. Its Curtis controller system ensures intelligent, smooth operation, while the extra-wide mast dramatically improves the operator's field of view for safer, more confident handling. Enhanced with side shift, load backrest, solid tyres, container lights, reverse light, and a beacon, the GBL25 is fully equipped for intensive indoor and outdoor work. The forklift adopts an advanced permanent magnet motor, which reduces copper consumption, minimises noise, improves heat dissipation, and increases overall efficiency by up to 20%. Operators benefit from Giraffe-branded extra comfort seating, an intuitive large-screen display, and an intelligent wake-up system that checks all components before operation. The open hood with a large angle allows for easy maintenance access, while the intelligent lithium battery charger optimises battery health. Built with a short, flexible body design, the Giraffe FBL25 excels in narrow spaces, offering a powerful, environmentally friendly, maintenance-free solution with zero emissions, capable of performing reliably even in extreme temperatures. Designed for the future of material handling, the GBL25 redefines efficiency, operator comfort, and sustainability.
