There is a point at which a hand pallet truck stops being a cheap solution. That’s not when the load gets too heavy — a two-ton hand pallet truck is still lifting two tons. It is the moment when the same man walks the same route for the fifteenth time that day, and when the time wasted pushing turns into a wage paid for walking.
The Baoli KBP 15L is a machine made exactly for that point: a 1,500-kilogram electric pallet truck, with a lithium battery that can be charged at a regular socket and without any electrolyte maintenance.

When the hand pallet truck becomes expensive
The hand pallet truck is the most cost-effective machine in the warehouse — until the route is extended. Take any warehouse where goods are received at the ramp and put away thirty or forty meters away. A worker travels that route ten, twenty, sometimes fifty times a day, with a full pallet in one direction and an empty pallet in the other.
Added up to the level of a month, that’s several full workdays spent pushing. The electric pallet truck doesn’t shorten that route, but it turns it from physical work into driving — faster, and, more importantly, just as fast in the fifteenth as in the first pass.
The other side is health. Pushing a full pallet over an uneven floor or a slight incline is a strain on the back that adds up over the years. It’s an expense that doesn’t show up on the invoice until it shows up as sick leave.
What is KBP 15L
KBP 15L is an electric pallet truck with a capacity of 1,500 kilograms, from the Baoli offering, with with a lithium-ion battery of 24 V and 30 Ah. It is intended for the horizontal transport of pallets — receipt of goods, transport to the storage area, loading into a van or truck from the ramp, ordering by warehouse.
What sets it apart in this class is not the payload, as 1,500 kg is standard. What makes it stand out is that the whole battery story boils down to one thing: plug it into an outlet.
Battery and charging
Battery from 24 V / 30 Ah Li-ion gives an eye four working hours autonomy. That figure sounds modest until you consider how the pallet stacker actually works: the machine is in motion for perhaps a third of the shift, and the rest is stationary while goods are stacked, scanned or waiting.
A lithium battery, unlike a lead battery, can be partially charged without any damage. No memory effect, no must-discharge rule, no equalizing charge. Twenty minutes on the charger during the break restores a significant part of the capacity and the machine continues the shift.
From this follows what is most valuable in practice: no charging room. No top-up of distilled water, no electrolyte checks, no hydrogen release, and no dedicated vent space that you had to take out of storage. The charger is next to the workplace.
We have provided a detailed comparison of the two technologies in the text lithium-ion or lead-acid forklift battery.
Who is it intended for?
KBP 15L makes the most sense when:
- pallets are driven every day at a distance of several tens of meters
- one shift or a shift with clear breaks in which the machine can be replenished
- there is no room or will to build a charging room
- the load is up to 1,500 kg — so a standard Euro-pallet with goods, not heavy crates
- the floor is flat and internal: hall, wholesale, retail warehouse, cold storage
- looking for a machine that anyone can use without extensive training
If, in addition to transport, weighing is also done during the receipt of the goods, it is a better choice EPT20-15ET with built-in scale and printer. If the pallets are not only driven but also lifted into the rack, you need a stacker — take a look electric stackers. We explained the difference between those three categories in the guide pallet truck, stacker or forklift.
KBP 15L compared to other pallets in the offer
| Model | Carrying capacity | Battery | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| EP15-03 | 1,500 kg | 24 V / 20 Ah Li-ion | €1,090 + VAT (promotion) |
| KBP 15L | 1,500 kg | 24 V / 30 Ah Li-ion | €2,200 + VAT |
| EPT20-15ET | 1,500 kg | 24 V / 85 Ah + charger 10 A | €2,400 + VAT |
| KBP 14H | 1,400 kg | 48 V / 30 Ah Li-ion | €3,800 + VAT |
| EP 20-111 / 111Li | 2,000 kg | 24 V 345 Ah lead or 205 Ah Li-ion | €8,600 + VAT |
A quick read of this table: The EP15-03 is an entry-level machine and the cheapest way to go from a manual to an electric pallet truck. KBP 15L is a step above — higher battery capacity and longer autonomy for the same range of work. The EPT20-15ET solves the weighing. KBP 14H carries 48 V and charges in two hours. EP 20-111 is another category, with a platform for the driver and a speed of up to 12 km/h, for long routes.
