HELI Lithium Forklifts Supporting Manufacturing Efficiency in Suffolk

Brafe Engineering in Suffolk, United Kingdom, has strengthened its material handling capability with the addition of two new HELI CPD30 G2 Li-M Lithium Counterbalance Forklift Trucks, supplied by Fork Truck Direct. 

Operating within demanding industries including nuclear, defence, marine, energy, and petrochemical sectors, Brafe Engineering requires equipment that delivers reliability, efficiency, and consistent performance.  

The HELI G2 lithium range provides a modern solution designed to meet those requirements while helping reduce operating costs and support sustainability objectives

Built For The Demands Of Modern Manufacturing

The HELI CPD30 G2 Li-M combines the strength and durability traditionally associated with diesel forklifts with the benefits of advanced lithium-ion technology

Designed for both indoor manufacturing environments and outdoor yard operations, the trucks provide dependable performance across a wide range of handling applications. Whether moving raw materials, supporting production processes, or transporting finished components, the HELI G2 range is built to keep operations moving efficiently throughout the working day. 

More Uptime, Lower Running Costs

One of the key advantages of lithium technology is increased truck availability. 

The integrated lithium batteries support opportunity charging during breaks and periods of inactivity, removing the need for lengthy charging cycles, battery changes, or refuelling. This helps maximise uptime and keeps equipment available when it’s needed most. 

Compared with diesel alternatives, the HELI G2 lithium range also offers significant savings through the elimination of non-sustainable fuels and reduced servicing requirements. 

With no engine oil, fuel filters, exhaust systems, or emissions-control components to maintain, businesses benefit from: 

  • Reduced maintenance costs 
  • Lower energy and operating expenses 
  • Increased fleet availability 
  • Less unplanned downtime 

Cleaner, Quieter And More Productive

The HELI CPD30 G2 Li-M also supports a safer and more comfortable working environment. By eliminating tailpipe emissions and reducing noise and vibration levels, the trucks create a cleaner workplace while improving operator comfort. Consistent power delivery and smoother operation help maintain productivity throughout the shift, making lithium technology an increasingly popular choice for modern manufacturing businesses. 

Why HELI Lithium Makes Sense For Brafe Engineering

For Brafe Engineering, the investment delivers benefits across three key areas: 

  • Productivity – More uptime and consistent performance. 
  • Cost Control – Lower servicing and operating costs. 
  • Sustainability – Zero tailpipe emissions and reduced environmental impact. 

As Brafe Engineering continues to support some of the UK’s most demanding industrial sectors, the HELI CPD30 G2 Li-M provides a dependable and future-focused material handling solution built for long-term success.
