5 Star Google Review

We took delivery of our brand new multi directional forklift today, supplied by JD forklifts, the process was seamless from beginning to delivery which included a very detailed handover from Ross & Michael. I can't recommend this company enough and look forward to building our fleet with JD as our company expands.

Description

The CESAB P216i is a revolutionary addition to the CESAB P200 series, offering a 1600kg load capacity in a completely redesigned compact chassis built specifically around CESAB’s modular lithium-ion battery concept. This fully integrated design delivers exceptional efficiency, reliability, and round-the-clock availability—ideal for space-restricted environments, weight-sensitive floors, and multi-shift operations.

Shorter, lower, and lighter than traditional powered pallet trucks, the P216i brings all the benefits of lithium-ion power: no battery swaps, no dedicated charging areas, and zero maintenance requirements. With a truck length of just 419mm (excluding forks), it excels in confined spaces such as delivery vehicles, retail stores, and tight warehouse aisles.

Built for pedestrian operation, the P216i achieves up to 6 km/h travel speed (with or without load), and its ergonomic layout ensures operator comfort and safety. Featuring CESAB's trusted build quality, this model is designed to offer high uptime, energy efficiency, and sustainable performance without compromise.

If you're looking for a future-proof electric pallet truck that performs in compact spaces without the hassle of traditional battery systems, the CESAB P216i is the intelligent choice.
