Sumitomo QuaPro-B electric forklift operator area

Choose the forklift around the route it must work.

Compare the two Sumitomo electric models listed by Y K TOH: QuaPro-B for counterbalance work and QuaPro-R for reach-truck work. Start with the load, lift height, aisle and charging pattern.

Electric counterbalanceElectric reachSingapore enquiries

Open travel route or rack aisle?

The vehicle format should follow where the pallet starts, where it finishes, and the clear space between.

Loading bays and mixed warehouse routes

Pallet transfer, loading, unloading and stacking with a counterbalanced vehicle.

QuaPro-B

Racking aisles and high-density storage

Stacking and retrieval where aisle width and right-angle approach are controlled.

QuaPro-R

Two Y K TOH listings

Different vehicle formats, selected from the same site brief.

Both models are enquiry-first products. Capacity, mast, battery, charger, attachments and safety equipment must be confirmed for the exact configuration.

B · Counterbalance Sumitomo QuaPro-B cockpit and access design

Sumitomo QuaPro-B

For pallet movement across loading, production and warehouse routes where a counterbalanced electric forklift is the practical starting point.

The Y K TOH listing covers the updated 2 to 3 ton class route, subject to the exact model and load centre.
Sumitomo highlights a high-efficiency IPM drive motor and an optional lithium-ion battery route.
Operator visibility, cockpit access, water resistance and safety options vary by the selected specification.

Confirm rated capacity, mast, tyre, attachment, battery, charger, route, ramps and indoor or outdoor exposure before quotation.

R · Reach

Sumitomo QuaPro-R

For pallet stacking and retrieval inside racking aisles where storage density, turning space and operator approach need to be checked together.

Sumitomo positions the 0.9 to 1.8 ton series around manoeuvrability, energy use and operator feel.
The manufacturer reports a 2,540 mm practical right-angle stacking aisle for the FBR15SC reference model.
IPM drive-motor efficiency, cockpit layout and operator-support options are part of the official series design.

The 2,540 mm figure is manufacturer model-specific test information, not a site clearance. Confirm pallet, rack, mast, aisle, floor and operating clearances.

Read the figures correctly

Manufacturer results need a model and test condition.

Published performance figures help form a shortlist. They do not replace a site measurement, exact model confirmation or quotation specification.

QuaPro-B drive motor

Sumitomo reports about 10% lower drive-motor power consumption versus its previous model under the JIVAS F30 driving pattern.

Manufacturer test value. Actual duty cycle, load, travel and charging conditions affect site performance.

QuaPro-R aisle reference

Sumitomo reports a 2,540 mm practical right-angle stacking aisle for the FBR15SC reference model.

Use the exact pallet, mast, rack, turning path and clearance allowance for layout decisions.

QuaPro-R energy reference

For FBR15SC, Sumitomo reports 24% lower power consumption than its previous model under the stated JIS work-cycle test.

This is comparative manufacturer data, not a guaranteed saving for every warehouse.

Battery route

Battery type, capacity, charger and charging schedule must be matched to operating hours and break windows.

Do not assume the photographed battery package is standard on every local configuration.

Selection comparison

Use this table before choosing a model name.

The strongest first decision is the vehicle format. The final model depends on the measured load and route.

Selection point	QuaPro-B electric counterbalance	QuaPro-R electric reach
Typical starting use	Loading, unloading, open-floor pallet movement and mixed warehouse or production routes.	Racking aisle stacking, retrieval and high-density pallet storage.
Route information	Doorways, turning areas, ramps, docks, surface changes and indoor or outdoor exposure.	Clear aisle, right-angle approach, rack geometry, pallet overhang and floor flatness.
Load information	Load weight, load centre, pallet dimensions, attachment and lift height.	Load weight, pallet dimensions, lift height, residual capacity and rack beam positions.
Power plan	Daily duty, battery option, charger location, break charging and ventilation or electrical needs.	Daily duty, battery and charger package, shift coverage and charging windows.
Safety review	Pedestrian routes, reversing zones, dock edges, visibility, speed and cargo stability.	Rack clearances, aisle entry, operator visibility, turning controls and travel around pedestrians.
Best next action	Send route photos and the complete load and lift brief.	Send the rack layout, measured aisle and the complete load and lift brief.

Send seven details for a useful shortlist.

A model name alone is not enough to check capacity, clearance, battery and operating fit.

1. Maximum load

Weight, load centre and any long, uneven or unusual load.

2. Pallet size

Length, width, entry direction and overhang.

3. Lift height

Highest beam, required fork height and overhead clearance.

4. Aisle and turns

Measured clear width, junctions and right-angle stacking approach.

5. Route photos

Racking, docks, doorways, ramps, traffic and any constrained point.

6. Floor and environment

Flatness, gradients, joints, wet areas and indoor or outdoor use.

7. Duty and charging

Hours per shift, trips, breaks, charger supply and preferred battery route.

Useful extra

Existing forklift model, attachment, operator feedback and service concerns.

Buyer questions

Practical answers before quotation.

Availability and final specification should always be confirmed for Singapore supply.

Which model should I start with for loading bays?

QuaPro-B is the usual starting format for counterbalanced loading, unloading and pallet transfer. Route, ramp, dock, surface and capacity checks still decide the exact configuration.

Which model should I start with for racking aisles?

QuaPro-R is the reach-truck starting format for stacking and retrieval between racks. Confirm the measured aisle, pallet, mast, lift height, residual capacity and floor condition.

Does a published aisle figure guarantee the truck will fit?

No. Manufacturer figures are model and test specific. Site fit depends on the exact vehicle, pallet, rack, mast, turning path and operating clearance.

Can I choose the battery from the product photo?

No. Confirm battery type, capacity, charger, charging time, electrical supply and duty cycle for the quoted configuration.

What should I send Y K TOH first?

Send the load, pallet, lift height, clear aisle, route photos, floor conditions and daily operating pattern. A short route video is useful when ramps or tight turns are involved.

Where can I check the manufacturer information?

Use the Sumitomo NACCO official product pages below. Y K TOH can then confirm the locally listed product and quotation configuration.
