Heavy Forklift 9 – 16 t
Mid-heavy class for steel stockholding, precast yards, timber packs and general industrial lifting, where a standard yard truck runs out of capacity but a container handler is oversized.
Features
- At the bottom of the band the truck usually moves on a standard low loader inside normal weight and width limits; by 16 t the service weight and the overall width generally take the movement into abnormal-load territory, so settle the transport route before ordering.
- Fork positioners and sideshift are close to standard here, because load sizes vary through the day.
- Load-sensing hydraulics and an engine protection cut-out are worth confirming; both reduce the cost of an operator error.
- Mast options run from a simple duplex for stack work to a high-visibility mast for container loading.
- Service intervals are quoted in operating hours and a dusty or fibrous yard shortens them, so ask for the interval that applies to your conditions and check filter access before ordering.
