The CX12 is the narrowest powered truck in the Lifter range at 520mm overall width — the same as its forks, with no chassis overhang. That gives a 1782mm aisle width, several hundred millimetres tighter than anything else in the catalogue, and it is the whole reason the truck exists. Where an aisle plan or a lift lobby rules out a conventional powered truck, the CX12 usually fits. At 155kg including battery it is also light enough to be moved between floors and handled without plant.

Key Features
- 520mm overall width — no wider than its own forks, which is what produces the tightest aisle figure in the range.
- 1782mm aisle width — the narrowest working aisle of any powered Lifter truck, and the reason to choose it over a CX14 or EY.
- 155kg including battery — manageable on a goods lift or between floors, where a 250kg truck is not.
- Gel battery option — the C-coded model uses gel, removing topping up and allowing charging without a dedicated ventilated area.
- Adjustable tiller height — 885mm to 1345mm in the drive position, so it suits operators of different heights.
- Other fork sizes available — the standard 1150 x 520mm can be varied to order where pallets differ.
Suitable Applications
Specify the CX12 wherever space is the binding constraint: retail back-of-house, pharmacy and medical stores, basements and upper floors, small production areas, and older buildings with aisles laid out before powered trucks were common. It is also the truck for operations that move between floors by goods lift. Where aisles are generous, the CX14 offers more capacity and a more substantial chassis for similar money.
How to Use
- Check battery charge and confirm the load is within the rated capacity.
- Lower the forks fully and enter the pallet squarely, driving the forks home.
- Raise just clear of the floor using the tiller controls.
- Travel with the tiller in the operating position, keeping the truck in view and pedestrians clear.
- Release the butterfly control to brake; the truck stops automatically if the tiller is released.
- Lower, release the load and withdraw the forks squarely.
- Return the truck to the charge point at the end of the shift.
Warning: Never exceed 1200kg. The narrow chassis that makes this truck fit tight aisles also makes it less tolerant of badly distributed or overhanging loads.
Safety Information
- Only trained and authorised operators should use a powered pallet truck.
- Travel at a pace appropriate to the floor, the load and the people around you.
- Keep feet clear of the wheels; a powered truck does not stop instantly.
- Never carry passengers and never ride on a pedestrian truck.
- Lower the forks fully before leaving the truck and before charging.
- Charge in a well-ventilated area following the battery manufacturer's instructions.
Inspection and Maintenance
Check battery charge, brake function, wheels and forks before each shift, and confirm the truck stops when the tiller is released. Keep drive and load wheels clear of banding and wrap. Battery care depends on type: lead-acid needs topping up on schedule, gel and lithium do not. Powered trucks fall under PUWER; keep inspection records and withdraw anything that fails a check.
What's Included

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How narrow is it really?
520mm overall, the same as the forks, giving a 1782mm aisle width. That is roughly 200-300mm tighter than most powered trucks in this class.
Q: CX12 or CX14?
CX12 for tight aisles at 1200kg. CX14 for 1400kg in a wider 720mm chassis with more battery options. If your aisles allow it, the CX14 is the more capable truck.
Q: What is the difference between the standard and GEL models?
Battery type. Gel needs no topping up and does not gas, so it can be charged without a dedicated ventilated room. It costs more up front and less in maintenance.
Q: Can I get different fork sizes?
Yes, other fork sizes are available on the CX12. Confirm lead time, as non-standard sizes are usually factory order.
