Heli Forklift – the CPC/CPQ code built from four letter positions, plus duplex versus triplex masts and free lift as a distinguishing feature
Chinese manufacturer Heli builds the type code of its counterbalance trucks from several positions: "C" stands for counterbalance forklift, the following "P" marks the counterweight construction. The third position gives the fuel — "C" for diesel, "Q" for gasoline/LPG — and an optional trailing "D" marks hydrostatic or torque-converter drive, as seen on CPCD or CPQYD models.

The closing digits give capacity in hundreds of kilograms: CPC10 corresponds to 1,000 kg, CPC25 to roughly 2,500 kg — a pattern visible in the database on models from CPC10 through CPC35, plus CPQ10.
Models recorded here span own weights of 2,150 to 12,510 kg, capacities of 1,000 to 10,000 kg, and lift heights of 3,000 to 4,700 mm; the diesel engines of the heavier line put out considerably more with 6,494 cm³ displacement and 6 cylinders than the lighter models.
The mast on this range is usually built as a duplex or triplex unit: on a duplex mast, the outer section extends along with the inner one as soon as lifting starts, whereas on a triplex mast only the innermost of the three sections rises first, in what is called free lift, without changing the truck's overall height — important for low doorways or truck loading bays.
For a used Heli, as with any counterbalance truck, mast condition and axle bearings matter; on the larger CPCD diesel models, also check the torque converter or hydrostatic drive, which noticeably affects performance at this size class.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
