2.5 Ton Payload Without Moving to a Larger Warehouse Truck
Our FB25 is rated for 2,500 kg at a 500 mm load center while retaining a published 1,180 mm overall width and 2,120 mm turning radius. It is a practical capacity step for warehouses and production sites where 2,000 kg is no longer enough, but compact maneuvering still matters.
When Does Moving from 2.0 to 2.5 Tons Make Sense?
Extra rated capacity has value when the heavier load is part of normal operation, not only an occasional exception. A buyer handling pallets around the upper end of a 2-ton class should compare FB25 before standardizing the fleet.
We still check load center, pallet depth, required lift height and attachments because nominal tonnage alone does not define the complete handling condition.

More Payload Does Not Automatically Mean a Larger Footprint
FB25 publishes the same 1,180 mm overall width and 2,120 mm turning radius as the adjacent FB20 specification. This is useful when buyers need 500 kg more rated capacity but want to preserve a similar basic warehouse footprint.
Overall width for gate and aisle checks.
Published outside turning radius.
Overhead guard height for door clearance.
Fork face to rear body distance.
Final aisle suitability still depends on pallet dimensions, load overhang and the turning pattern. We recommend sending the narrowest working point rather than only the nominal aisle width.
Check 2,500 kg Together with the 500 mm Load Center
The FB25 rating is referenced to a 500 mm load center. A long crate, deep pallet or irregular component can shift the center of gravity farther forward even when its total weight remains below 2,500 kg.
We review weight, load depth and required lift height together before confirming the truck and fork configuration.
- Maximum routine load weight
- Pallet or load dimensions
- Expected load center
- Required fork height
- Fork length or attachment requirement
When to Move Above FB25
If normal daily loads regularly approach the 2,500 kg rating, compare the next capacity class rather than selecting FB25 only from average pallet weight.
Attachments and longer load centers should also be included in the capacity review.
Match Battery Choice to Shift Length and Charging Windows
The published standard FB25 battery is 48 V / 600 Ah. An 80 V / 272 Ah lithium battery is also listed as an option.
We confirm the final battery and charger around operating hours, travel frequency, lifting duty and available charging time. We do not treat the older page's general high-voltage charging claims as guaranteed FB25 charging performance.
Published Electrical Data
Configure the FB25 Around the Actual Handling Point
3,000 mm Standard Lift
The published standard lift is 3,000 mm. Confirm higher rack requirements before selecting the final mast.
1,070 mm Fork Length
Standard published fork dimensions are 1,070 × 122 × 40 mm. Longer loads require a separate fork check.
Cab or Attachment Needs
Tell us if your project requires an enclosed cab, hydraulic attachment or non-standard fork configuration so we can confirm it in the quotation.
Where the FB25 Fits Best
Warehouse Pallets
Move heavier pallet loads between storage, receiving and dispatch zones.
Manufacturing
Transfer components, tooling and finished goods between production and storage areas.
Loading Areas
Handle palletized cargo where the floor, turning area and doorway dimensions fit the truck.
Ramp-Linked Routes
Review ramp gradient, surface and load before relying on the published 15% value.
Compare FB20, FB25 and the Next Capacity Step
2 Ton Electric Forklift
Choose FB20 when normal maximum loads remain within 2,000 kg and no extra payload margin is required.
2.5 Ton FB25
Use FB25 when the 2,500 kg capacity class is needed while maintaining the published 1,180 mm overall width.
Higher Capacity
Compare the next electric capacity class when routine loads approach the FB25 rating or require a different mast and chassis.
Send These Values Before We Confirm FB25
Load
Maximum weight, dimensions and load center.
Site
Aisle width, doors, turning space and ramps.
Battery
Shift hours, charging windows and battery preference.
Order

FB25 Electric Forklift Buying Questions
The FB25 is rated for 2,500 kg at a 500 mm load center. Longer pallets or irregular loads should be checked using their actual dimensions and center of gravity.
The current FB25 and FB20 specifications both publish a 1,180 mm overall width and 2,120 mm turning radius. FB25 adds 500 kg of rated capacity, but actual warehouse fit still depends on pallet dimensions and the turning pattern.
The current specification lists a 48 V / 600 Ah standard battery. Battery suitability should also be reviewed against working hours, charging windows and lift frequency.
Yes. The current FB25 specification lists an 80 V / 272 Ah lithium battery option. We confirm the matching battery and charger arrangement in the final quotation.
The published full-load gradeability is 15%. Actual ramp suitability should be checked using gradient, length, surface, load weight and the frequency of ramp operation.
Send maximum load weight and dimensions, required lift height, aisle and doorway dimensions, ramp conditions, working hours, charging window, battery preference, quantity and destination.
Confirm Whether FB25 Is the Right Capacity Step
Send us your maximum load weight, load dimensions, required lift height, aisle width, doorway clearance, turning space, ramp conditions, shift hours, charging window, battery preference, quantity and destination. We will use these values to confirm whether FB25 is the right electric forklift for your daily workload.
