In every store and every warehouse there is a job that no big machine can solve: take two boxes from the top shelf, count the stock at the height, replenish the shelf, change the price on the sign. It is too little for a forklift, too often for a platform, and too many times a day for a ladder.
The Baoli KBO 01L is built for exactly that job — a vehicle with a lift platform, working height 5 meters and carrying capacity 90 kilograms.

A job that is still done today from a ladder
The ladder is perfect for one intervention. When the same work is repeated thirty times in a shift, their disadvantages add up: you work with one hand because you hold on with the other, the goods cannot be carried up, and every move to the side means going down and moving.
In addition, there is a part that is not measured in minutes. Falling from a ladder from a height of two meters is one of the most common injuries at work in retail and warehouse, and almost always occurs during work that was done “just in a hurry”.
A vehicle with a lifting platform solves both things: both hands are free, goods and tools go up with you, the fence is standard, and moving takes as long as driving a few meters.
Five meters working height
The platform rises to 3,000 mm, and the working height is 5 meters — the difference is about two meters, which is counted as a man’s reach with his hands above his head.
Five meters covers practically all the shelves in the retail store, the upper levels of the racks in smaller warehouses, the space above the refrigerated display cases and the height at which signs and lighting are placed in the sales area.
If you work above five meters, this is not the right category — you need a scissor lift, which we wrote about in a guide through choosing a platform.
Proportional controls and sensors on the handles
Two things separate this machine from improvised solutions.
Proportional driving controls mean that speed follows how far the command is moved — there’s not just “stop” and “go”. When a machine moves between two rows of shelves with a man on a raised platform, it’s the difference between a quiet move and a jolt.
Sensors on the handles recognize the position of the operator. The machine only works when the person is where they need to be — meaning it can’t be driven while the user is leaning over a fence or out of position. It is not a comfort but a safety function that works without thinking.
Lithium battery 24 V / 135 Ah
It’s a battery 24 V / 135 Ah, lithium-ion. For a machine working in the sales area, it is the only reasonable choice:
- no hydrogen is released, so no separate charging room is required
- no topping up of distilled water or electrolyte check
- partial charging is allowed — the machine refills during a break and continues
- there are no exhaust gases or noise, so it is done while the store is operating normally
The capacity of 135 Ah is generous for this class — the machine consumes little, because lifting is done infrequently compared to driving. Details of the technologies in the text lithium-ion or lead-acid battery, and about maintenance in the text maintenance of the traction battery.
Compact dimensions
The machine is designed to work in narrow spaces. This is what makes it usable in a store — the passage between shelves in a retail store is not for machines but for carts with goods.
Before ordering, measure the narrowest aisle the machine must pass through and the turning space at the end of the row. If it is used on more than one floor, also check the dimensions of the elevator and the permissible floor load.
Who is it intended for?
KBO 01L makes sense when:
- it is done in a retail store, warehouse or sales area
- the job is ordering, shelf replenishment, inventory or minor maintenance
- the height is up to five meters
- up goes one man with a smaller amount of goods — up to 90 kg in total
- the space is narrow and the machine has to pass between the shelves
- it is done while the facility is open, so noise and gases are not acceptable
If pallets are rising, this is not the category — you need it stacker or electro pallet truck. If it is done above five meters or two people go up, it is a category platform for working at height.
Reminder: this is work equipment
Because the machine is small and works in a shop, it’s easy to overlook that it is too work equipment — like any forklift. The same obligations follow from this: periodic inspection and verification by a licensed legal entity, employee training for safe work and record keeping.
We wrote about the review in the text periodic inspection of work equipment, and about training in the text who is allowed to operate the forklift.
