5T Diesel Forklift

Small 5-Ton Diesel Forklift: The “Golden Tonnage” for Heavy-Duty Handling, An All-Round Pioneer Combining Strength and Agility

In scenarios requiring stable transport of 4.5–5-ton loads, the small 5-ton diesel forklift, with its precise positioning of “more capable than the 4-ton and more agile than the larger 5-ton,” has become the “golden choice” for engineering machinery, large-scale warehousing, steel and building materials, and other sectors. With the integrated strengths of “effortless heavy lifting, fearless in complex conditions, economical yet flexible,” it solves the pain points of transitioning from medium-heavy to heavy-duty material handling.

Advanced Load Capacity, Leaping Heavy-Duty Efficiency

Its 5-ton rated load fills the gap between “barely enough with 4 tons” and “overcapacity with larger 5 tons,” easily handling large steel structures, heavy machinery chassis, high-density pallet stacks, etc. Compared with 4-ton models, it reduces handling frequency per trip by 10%–12%. It also features 10%–15% overload tolerance, remaining rock-solid during temporary overloads or ramp work, preventing interruptions and ensuring production continuity.

Powerful Drive, Fearless Across All Terrains

Fitted with a large-displacement high-efficiency diesel engine, it delivers strong torque at low RPM, with full-load gradeability exceeding 22°, easily conquering steep dock slopes and gravel construction roads. Unloaded speed reaches 25 km/h, loaded speed holds steady at 18 km/h, greatly shortening cycles in open yards or long-distance transfers. The maturity of diesel power enables reliable operation from –20 ℃ cold storage to 45 ℃ open air, providing round-the-clock operation without downtime.

Durable Structure, Hassle-Free and Cost-Saving Maintenance

It uses a thickened steel frame and high-strength alloy mast; heavy-duty fatigue tests confirm a service life over 30% longer than light- and medium-duty models. The mature diesel system has a low failure rate; routine maintenance involves only basic replacements such as engine oil and filters, with a single service cost around 220 RMB. Average annual maintenance expenses are 40% lower than those of electric forklifts of the same tonnage. Refueling in 5 minutes powers the machine for a full day, eliminating charging delays and increasing equipment utilization by 25%.

Flexible Expansion, Full Coverage of Scenarios

The body balances compactness and stability, with a minimum turning radius of 3.0 m, allowing agile movement through standard workshop aisles and dense racking. It supports attachments such as side shifters, clamps, and rotators, easily handling special cargo like pipes, coils, and irregular items. One machine covers the entire workflow of loading, unloading, stacking, and transfer, reducing multi-equipment investment costs.

The small 5-ton diesel forklift, with its hardcore strengths of “more relaxed heavy lifting, stronger power, and more economical and reliable performance,” serves as the “best bridge” for the transition from medium-heavy to heavy-duty handling, underpinning high productivity with real, solid capabilities.
