Quick answer:
The NIULI CPD35 is a heavy duty electric forklift that delivers diesel forklift–level power without the fumes, noise, or fuel costs. With a 3000–3500 kg capacity, a 6000 mm maximum lift height, and a lithium-ion battery (80V/200Ah or 80V/460Ah), it's built for warehouses, logistics yards, and outdoor sites that need diesel-grade muscle in a clean electric package.
For decades, operators who needed serious lifting power had one obvious choice: the diesel forklift. Diesel machines hauled heavy loads, climbed steep grades, and ran long shifts without complaint. But they came with baggage—exhaust fumes, loud engines, rising fuel bills, and constant maintenance.
The NIULI CPD35 changes that equation. Manufactured by NIULI Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd. in Guangdong, China, this forklift was engineered using diesel forklift DNA, then rebuilt around a modern lithium-ion electric drivetrain. The result is a heavy duty forklift that matches diesel performance while cutting running costs and emissions.
In this guide, you'll learn exactly what makes the CPD35 a true heavy duty machine, how NIULI converted a proven diesel design into an electric powerhouse, the full technical specs, the available model variants, and who stands to benefit most from making the switch.

The NIULI CPD35 is a heavy duty electric forklift built on a diesel-forklift-inspired design. Rather than starting with a blank sheet, NIULI engineers took a proven diesel platform and converted it to run on a lithium-ion battery—an approach known in the industry as "oil-to-electricity" conversion.
This design philosophy gives the CPD35 the best of both worlds. It keeps the rugged frame, strong mast, and high load capacity that made diesel forklifts the standard for heavy lifting. At the same time, it swaps the noisy, fume-producing combustion engine for a clean, efficient electric drivetrain.
The CPD35 handles loads of 3000 kg to 3500 kg and lifts to a maximum height of 6000 mm. Add a low center of gravity, a wide field of view gantry, and an automobile-style cockpit, and you have an electric forklift that performs like diesel while running quieter, cleaner, and cheaper.
The CPD35 brings together several engineering choices that define its heavy duty character. Here's what stands out.
The CPD35 runs on a maintenance-free lithium-ion battery, available in 80V/200Ah or 80V/460Ah configurations. Unlike the lead-acid batteries found in older electric forklifts, there's no need to top up water or schedule regular battery servicing. The battery also supports opportunity charging, so operators can plug in during breaks without harming battery life.
The oil-to-electricity conversion preserves the toughness of a diesel chassis. A purpose-built diesel frame is engineered to handle the stress of heavy loads and rough environments, and the CPD35 inherits that durability while shedding diesel's downsides.
By keeping weight distribution low and stable, NIULI engineered the CPD35 to stay planted while lifting tall, heavy loads. That stability is a critical safety factor when stacking pallets several levels high.
Visibility matters when lifting loads to 6000 mm. The wide field of view gantry gives operators a clear line of sight to both the load and surroundings, supporting safer and faster handling.
The operator station mimics a car's layout, giving drivers a familiar and intuitive position. Controls sit within easy reach, and the seating reduces fatigue across long shifts.
At just 74 dB, the CPD35 runs far quieter than a diesel forklift. Lower noise reduces operator fatigue and makes the machine well suited to enclosed indoor spaces.
The CPD35 is offered in four variants—CPD-K30, CPD-K35, CPD-F30, and CPD-F35—so you can match the forklift to your workload and budget. Here's how they compare.
Specification | CPD-K30 | CPD-K35 | CPD-F30 | CPD-F35 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Load capacity | 3000 kg | 3500 kg | 3000 kg | 3500 kg |
Max lifting height | 6000 mm | 6000 mm | 6000 mm | 6000 mm |
Battery | 80V/200Ah | 80V/200Ah | 80V/460Ah | 80V/460Ah |
Traction motor | 17 kW | 17 kW | 21 kW | 21 kW |
Max travel speed | 18 km/h | 18 km/h | 18 km/h | 18 km/h |
Gradeability | Up to 25% | Up to 25% | Up to 25% | Up to 25% |
Noise level | 74 dB | 74 dB | 74 dB | 74 dB |
Tires | Solid | Solid | Solid | Solid |
The K series pairs a 17 kW traction motor with the 80V/200Ah battery, making it ideal for standard shifts and cost-conscious operations. The F series steps up to a 21 kW traction motor and the larger 80V/460Ah battery, delivering more power and longer runtime for demanding, multi-shift duty cycles.
For fleet managers weighing a diesel forklift against the CPD35, the comparison comes down to capability versus cost of ownership—and the CPD35 closes the capability gap.
A traditional diesel forklift offers raw lifting power and rugged durability, but it brings exhaust fumes, loud engine noise, high fuel bills, and frequent maintenance. The CPD35 keeps the power while removing those drawbacks.
Here's how the two stack up:
Emissions: A diesel forklift produces exhaust that's unsafe indoors. The CPD35 runs emission-free, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Noise: Diesel engines are loud. The CPD35 operates at just 74 dB.
Fuel and maintenance: Diesel means ongoing fuel costs and engine servicing. The CPD35's maintenance-free lithium-ion battery cuts both.
Performance: With a gradeability of up to 25% and an 18 km/h top speed, the CPD35 matches the climbing and travel performance you'd expect from diesel.
Choose the CPD35 if lowering running costs, reducing emissions, and quieter operation matter to you—without giving up the heavy lifting power your operation depends on. A diesel forklift may still suit sites with no access to charging infrastructure, but for most warehouses, yards, and plants, the electric forklift wins on total cost of ownership.
Performance is where the CPD35 earns its heavy duty label. Three numbers tell the story.
First, load capacity and lift height. The CPD35 carries 3000–3500 kg and lifts to 6000 mm. That combination lets it stack pallets several levels high while carrying serious weight—the core requirement of any heavy duty forklift.
Second, gradeability. With the ability to climb gradients of up to 25%, the CPD35 tackles ramps and inclines that would stall weaker forklifts. Loading docks and sloped yards are no obstacle.
Third, travel speed. A top speed of 18 km/h keeps the CPD35 moving in step with high-throughput operations. Drivers cover ground quickly between racks, docks, and storage zones without slowing the workflow.
Solid tires support all of this. Unlike pneumatic tires that risk punctures, solid tires keep the CPD35 rolling across rough surfaces, debris-strewn yards, and demanding industrial floors.
The lithium-ion battery is the heart of the CPD35, and the electrical system around it is built for precise, efficient performance.
Depending on the variant, you'll get either an 80V/200Ah battery (K series) or an 80V/460Ah battery (F series). The higher-capacity 460Ah option delivers longer runtime for operations that can't afford frequent charging breaks.
Power flows from the battery to a traction motor rated at 17 kW on the K series and 21 kW on the F series. The F series' larger motor and battery combination is the stronger fit for long shifts and heavier-duty cycles.
Managing it all is a MEGMEET controller paired with a MOSFET/AC or SME drive control system. This combination delivers smooth acceleration, precise speed control, and efficient energy use—turning stored battery power into reliable lifting and driving.
Because the battery is maintenance-free, there's no watering or routine battery servicing to schedule. That means less downtime and lower long-term costs. Opportunity charging adds further flexibility, letting operators top up during breaks without shortening battery life.
Yes. The NIULI CPD35 can be retrofitted with an enclosed cab and an air conditioning system.
This is a major advantage for operations in harsh climates or outdoor environments. An enclosed cab shields the operator from rain, dust, cold, and heat, while the optional air conditioner keeps the cabin comfortable when temperatures climb.
For businesses in regions with extreme weather, this customization turns the CPD35 into a year-round workhorse. Operators stay comfortable and focused, which translates into better productivity and fewer weather-related disruptions. If you need a forklift that performs in tough outdoor conditions, the cab and air conditioning options make the CPD35 a strong candidate.
The CPD35 is built for businesses that need diesel forklift performance without diesel forklift drawbacks. It's an especially smart choice for:
Warehouses and distribution centers that need a heavy duty forklift for high-stacking and heavy loads, but want to avoid diesel emissions indoors.
Logistics and freight yards that require fast travel speeds and the ability to climb ramps while carrying heavy pallets.
Manufacturing facilities running multiple shifts, where the maintenance-free lithium-ion battery and opportunity charging keep machines working.
Outdoor operations in challenging climates, where the optional enclosed cab and air conditioning make all the difference.
Cost-conscious fleet managers who want to cut fuel and maintenance bills while keeping the lifting power of a diesel forklift.
If your operation has historically relied on a diesel forklift for heavy lifting, the CPD35 offers a path to lower running costs and cleaner operation without sacrificing capability.
The NIULI CPD35 proves you no longer have to choose between diesel forklift power and electric forklift efficiency. With a 3000–3500 kg capacity, 6000 mm lift height, long-lasting lithium-ion battery, and a design rooted in proven diesel engineering, it delivers heavy duty performance in a clean, quiet, low-cost package.
Whether you're upgrading an aging diesel fleet or investing in your first heavy duty electric forklift, the CPD35 deserves a place on your shortlist.
