4 Ton Counterbalanced Class
Select the Truck from Load Geometry, Not Capacity Alone
Our 4 ton diesel forklift is published with a 4,000 kg rated capacity at a 500 mm load center and a 3,000 mm lift height. This capacity class suits heavier pallets, molds, crated equipment and production materials on suitable industrial routes. The offered engine, transmission, mast, forks, tires and residual-capacity chart must be fixed in the quotation before the truck is approved for a project.

The current gallery shows the complete truck profile, mast components and operator controls. The final machine identity, capacity and installed options should still be matched to the model plate and approved order specification.
Capacity Decision
When the 4 Ton Class Is the Right Step
Above Compact-Duty LoadsUse the 4 ton class when normal loads, attachments or load geometry require more capacity margin than smaller 2.5–3.5 ton trucks provide.
Below the 5 Ton RequirementDo not move to a larger chassis only for occasional peak loads. Compare the normal duty cycle, load center and available maneuvering space first.
Matched to the Actual RouteApprove this class only after checking gates, corners, loading bays, overhead clearance, floor capacity, surface and ventilation.
A 4,000 kg nameplate rating does not mean the truck can lift every 4,000 kg object at every height. Long loads and carriage attachments move the combined center of gravity forward. The final selection must use the load chart for the chosen mast, fork and attachment combination.
Specification Status
Published Facts and Quotation-Controlled Items
The existing product record confirms the capacity class, load center, diesel power type and published lift height. It describes several other values only as approximate or optional. We separate those fields so buyers can see which details still require model-level confirmation.

| Power Type | Diesel |
| Published Lift Height | 3,000 mm |
| Transmission | Manual / automatic options listed; confirm the offered transmission and gear arrangement |
| Tires | Pneumatic / solid options listed; confirm size, ply rating and selected configuration |
| Engine | Confirm brand, model, rated power and destination-market emission configuration |
| Mast | Confirm mast stage, fork height, free lift and lowered mast height |
| Forks and Carriage | Confirm fork dimensions, adjustment range, carriage class and side-shift requirement |
| Overall Dimensions | Obtain the model-specific length, width and overhead-guard height in the quotation |
| Turning Radius | Confirm the offered truck value before checking aisle and yard geometry |
| Operating Weight | Confirm model-specific service weight for transport, floor and ramp planning |
| Residual Capacity | Review the load chart for the selected lift height and attachment |
Required Technical Evidence
- Model code and machine data plate
- Complete parameter sheet
- Mast and residual-capacity chart
- Engine model and emission documents
- Attachment specification
- Configuration photos before dispatch
- Packing and shipping arrangement
Load Calculation
Check More Than the Scale Weight
The published 4,000 kg capacity is referenced to a 500 mm load center. A long mold, machinery crate, bundled pipe or double-depth pallet can create a longer effective load center. That change may reduce usable lifting capacity even when the total weight remains below four tons.
- Maximum normal load weight
- Load length, width and height
- Fork-entry direction and pocket spacing
- Required placement height
- Attachment weight and forward offset
- Whether the load is centered or uneven
Route Geometry
Measure the Whole Working Path
A four-ton truck generally requires more operating space and stronger route surfaces than compact forklift classes. Use the exact quoted dimensions rather than approximate website values when approving the site.
- Narrowest gate and aisle width
- Loading-bay turning area
- Lowest doorway and overhead restriction
- Floor, ramp and dock-plate capacity
- Gradient and surface condition
- Load overhang during travel
Mast and Attachment
Build the Front End Around the Handling Task
Mast HeightState the highest fork position and the lowest clearance along the route. These two measurements determine whether the proposed mast can work at the site.
Fork SupportMatch fork length, section and spacing to the pallet pockets or load base. Excessive load overhang can change the effective load center.
Attachment EffectA side shifter, fork positioner, clamp or other attachment adds weight and forward offset. Review the revised capacity before order approval.
Confirm the Side-Shift Supply Scope
The original page includes a side-shift attachment image, but the image does not define what is supplied as standard. The quotation should identify the attachment model, carriage compatibility, auxiliary hydraulic lines and any effect on residual capacity.
For multiple trucks, keep the same approved attachment specification across the order unless different operating tasks require separate configurations.
Powertrain Review
Confirm Engine and Transmission as One Package
The current page provides only an approximate engine-power range and does not identify one model-specific engine. Our quotation should name the engine, rated output, transmission type and emission configuration together. This prevents a buyer from receiving a different powertrain from the one used during technical approval.
Engine selection should consider the destination's non-road emission requirements, local filter availability, fuel quality and service capability. General company certificates do not replace engine-specific approval documents for a regulated market.
Projects with stricter diesel requirements can review our Euro V / Stage V forklift range and request documents for the exact engine quoted.
Tire and Surface Match
Choose Tires from Route Conditions
Pneumatic tires may suit general hard-surface yard work, while solid tires may be selected where puncture risk or site policy makes them preferable. The final tire size and rating must suit the offered chassis.
A tire option does not turn a standard counterbalanced forklift into a rough-terrain machine. Soft soil, deep mud, severe unevenness or off-road gradients require a different equipment assessment. For appropriate applications, compare the rough-terrain equipment range.
Application Fit
Typical 4 Ton Handling Duties
ManufacturingMove compatible molds, components, machinery crates and production materials between receiving, storage and work areas.
Building MaterialsHandle packaged stone, blocks, metal products or other loads on firm routes within the approved load chart.
Freight YardsLoad and stage compatible pallets or crates after checking bay dimensions, surface capacity and load overhang.
Industrial StorageSupport heavier pallet movement where rack height, aisle geometry and ventilation suit the selected truck.
Diesel operation is primarily suited to outdoor or properly ventilated industrial work. For emission-sensitive indoor routes, compare an electric forklift or the LPG and gasoline forklift range against local ventilation and workplace rules.

FAQ
4 Ton Diesel Forklift Buying Questions
What is the published capacity of this forklift? +
The current product record states 4,000 kg at a 500 mm load center. The selected mast, lift height, fork and attachment still require a truck-specific residual-capacity check.
Which engine is included in the 4 ton forklift? +
The current page does not identify one confirmed engine model. The quotation should state the engine brand, model, rated output and emission configuration.
Can I choose pneumatic or solid tires? +
Both tire types are listed as options. Confirm the tire size, load rating and suitability for the surface before the configuration is approved.
Is a side shifter included as standard? +
The current product gallery shows a side-shift configuration, but the standard supply scope is not defined. Confirm the attachment, hydraulic lines and revised load chart in the order.
Is this truck suitable for rough construction ground? +
This is a standard counterbalanced forklift, not a rough-terrain truck. Firm industrial surfaces may be suitable, while soft soil, deep mud or severe unevenness require another equipment assessment.
What should I send for a model-specific quotation? +
Send the load weight and dimensions, load center, lift height, attachment, route dimensions, surface, slope, emission requirement, quantity and destination country.
