2500 kg electric capacity with conventional controls
This 2.5 ton electric forklift covers the conventional steering-wheel and lever-control configuration, not the separate thumb-control version. The referenced sheet lists 2500 kg rated load at a 500 mm load center, 3000 mm lift height and 1210 mm overall width.
- 2500 kg rated load at 500 mm load center
- Conventional operator controls
- 3000 mm lift height
- 2960 kg listed machine weight

Figures describe the referenced configuration, not every truck with the same tonnage. Confirm the supplied unit, mast, forks, tires, battery or engine, attachments and rated-capacity plate in the agreed quotation.
Keep the Two 2.5 Ton Configurations Separate
A capacity label alone does not identify the complete truck. This page uses the sheet for the conventional-control version, with 2960 kg listed machine weight. The separately listed electronic thumb-control truck has different electrical and configuration entries; those values are not combined into this specification.
When requesting a warehouse forklift quotation, specify your preferred control layout and ask for photographs of the offered unit. Compare its operator station, data plate, battery sheet and mast arrangement with the agreed configuration. A similarly shaped truck in a broad multi-tonnage listing does not establish that every component is identical.
Plan a Heavier Pallet Workflow, Not Just a Higher Rating
The 2500 kg rating can be relevant when a 2 ton model does not cover the intended load at the required load center. It is not permission to lift an oversized or off-center 2500 kg crate. Pallet length, attachment weight and placement height need checking against the final capacity information.
The truck itself is listed at 2960 kg before its working load is considered. Include truck-and-load effects when checking a dock, floor or loading area. The 1210 mm width and 2350 mm turning radius are layout inputs, not proof that a particular aisle will accommodate stacking. Send measured route and pallet dimensions rather than an estimated aisle size.
Select the Mast and Charging Package Together
The listed mast provides 3000 mm lift, 140 mm free lift and 2130 mm lowered height. A doorway, rack or vehicle-loading task may constrain a different dimension from the one emphasized in a product title. Ask for the mast drawing and rated-capacity information for the supplied arrangement.
The battery notation in the source sheet is ambiguous, so exact voltage and amp-hour figures are held for confirmation. Ask for battery chemistry, usable capacity information, charger input and charging guidance for your work schedule. Qisheng Machinery is your sourcing and export contact; destination documents, lead time and support scope should be agreed for the actual equipment, not inferred from a supplier marketplace badge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2.5 ton electric forklift version is this?
The conventional-control version shown on the left side of the relevant product sheet. This is not the separately described electronic thumb-control variant.
What is the listed machine weight?
2960 kg. That is truck weight, not lifting capacity. The rated load is listed separately as 2500 kg at a 500 mm load center.
Are lithium batteries standard?
Do not assume a lithium battery from a broad marketplace title. Ask for the agreed battery chemistry, voltage, capacity and matching charger for this configuration.
Is a 2350 mm working aisle sufficient?
Not established by the turning-radius figure. Actual stacking space depends on the pallet, forks, truck geometry and required clearance.
Can side shift be included?
Describe the load and attachment requirement. Availability, mounting compatibility, added weight and revised capacity must be checked before the attachment is included in the quotation.
Request a Configuration-Specific Quotation
Send maximum cargo weight, cargo dimensions, lift height, aisle and doorway measurements, work surface, duty hours, quantity and delivery destination. For electric trucks, include your electrical supply and charging arrangements.
