Ask for rated and residual capacity, mast, free lift, lowered height, battery voltage/Ah, motors, controller, tires, fork and attachment.
Commercial scope
Request MOQ, exact model price, Incoterm, lead time, packing dimensions, container plan, spare-parts kit and warranty matrix.
Evidence pack
Require current model sheet, capacity plate/chart, battery and charger sheet, manual, parts catalog, applicable conformity copies and serial-numbered inspection.
Frequently asked questions
Can one RFQ cover CPD20 and CPD25?
Yes, if suppliers quote both against the same duty and options.
Should buyers request motor brand?
Ask for brand, model, power and service implications, but evaluate the complete system rather than one component.
Editorial method
This guide separates source-backed fields, generally accepted selection practice and quotation-dependent data. It does not claim that every option applies to every model. Final decisions require the approved datasheet, local rules and a workplace assessment.
