If you’re in the market for a light-duty forklift that’s electric, eco-friendly and efficient, the GP ECO 15 and GP ECO 18 from Greenpower Forklifts are both strong contenders. Whilst these models may look similar on the surface, there are some key differences that could impact your choice.
The GP ECO 15 handles up to 1,500kg, making it a solid option for lighter lifting tasks such as pallet handling, retail stock movement and general warehouse duties.
The GP ECO 18, with a 1,800kg capacity, gives you that extra bit of power for slightly heavier loads without stepping into a full industrial category.
Both models offer a 300mm lift height and use a 2-stage mast, which is ideal for standard indoor racking environments.
Battery performance is a key difference between these two models:
GP ECO 15: Poswered by a 48v/180Ah gel battery with a 48v/30A singe-phase charger
GP ECO 18: Uses a 48v/150Ah lithium battery and includes a faster 48v/50A onboard charger
While gel batteries are cost-effective and reliable, lithium batteries offer quicker charging, improved energy efficiency and minimal maintenance. The GP ECO 18 also benefits fro a 5-year battery warranty compared to the 2-year warranty on the GP ECO 15.
If you need fast turnaround and longer battery life, lithium may be a better fit. If your operation is lighter and budget-conscious, gel is still a great choice.
For operations with limited space, size matters:
If you operate in a more compact warehouse or need tighter turning, the GP ECO 15 may be better suited. The GP ECO 18, while slightly longer, offers a narrower width and improved lift capacity.
Both the GP ECO 15 and GP ECO 18 are excellent light-duty electric forklifts, designed for different needs:

“We were looking for a new forklift for our new warehouse. I rang for some advice and spoke to Barry, who was really helpful. I ended up driving down with our team to see a new truck and purchased on finance. Got good advice from Alex and the warranty is much better than previous trucks we have bought.”
