6 Advantages of the HELI CPQYD70

You might think the big advantage of using a forklift like the CPCDs is its high lift capacity. That’s only one of many advantages to these Helis.

  1. Repositions Fast – An enhanced fork positioner reduces repositioning time. It also minimizes the chance of damaging cargo.
  2. Serviceability – These forklifts have a tilting cab! Lifting the cab opens access to the engine & transmission. Allowing for fast routine maintenance, and protecting those components during operation.
  3. Operator Cab Comfort – The cabs are insulated, with full climate control for all seasons. No more sweating out your shift or freezing in your seat.
  4. Visibility – Since the CPCDs have such high lifting power, they need as much visibility as possible to avoid accidents. Each uses a wide view mast and an overhead guard to improve lines of sight.
  5. Low Load Centers – Offered at 24” load center. 35” load center. 48” load center.

What kind of environments could benefit from a heavy-duty CPCD120-160? We asked our Heli dealer partners, and here’s what they said.

  1. Manufacturing & Heavy Industry – Ideal for steel mills, fabrication yards, and large-scale material handling. The enclosed cab protects operators from dust, sparks, and extreme heat.

  3. Vehicle Handling (Auto Yards, Trucking Depots) – Transport vehicles, large crates, and engines in truck upfitting yards or railcar unloading zones.
  4. Rental Fleet & Equipment Dealers – The quick-access service points make these trucks ready to handle highly-active, multi-operator rental applications.
  5. Mining, Quarry & Aggregate Sites – Move heavy raw materials, equipment, or maintenance parts. The CPCD160’s ground clearance makes rough terrain a smooth ride.
