FD120 Heavy Lift Forklift
12 Ton Diesel Forklift for Heavy Material Handling
The XINGHAO FD120 is a 12 ton diesel forklift designed for handling heavy industrial loads where a standard-capacity forklift is not sufficient. The rated load is 12,000 kg at a 600 mm load center, with a standard 3,000 mm lifting height and 1,600 mm forks.
12,000 kg
Rated Load
The FD120 rated capacity is specified at a 600 mm load center. Load dimensions and load position should be provided during selection.
3,000 mm
Standard Lift Height
The current FD120 specification lists a 3,000 mm mast lifting height and a 4,420 mm maximum height.
15,500 kg
Service Weight
The heavy chassis and overall dimensions should be considered when planning transport routes, floors and operating areas.
Application Fit
When Does a 12 Ton Forklift Make Sense?
Moving from a standard diesel forklift to a 12-ton class truck changes more than lifting capacity. Load center, fork dimensions, turning space, ground conditions and operating route all become important selection factors.
The FD120 is intended for industrial sites that regularly move large or heavy loads rather than ordinary warehouse pallets.
- Heavy machinery and equipment movement
- Steel and metal processing facilities
- Large construction-material loads
- Industrial logistics and cargo transfer
- Port and terminal cargo handling areas
- Oversized pallet and production material movement
Important: The 12,000 kg rating is specified at a 600 mm load center. A long, irregular or differently positioned load can change the effective capacity. Provide the actual load dimensions when requesting a configuration.

Need to Check Whether the FD120 Fits Your Load?
Send the maximum load weight, load dimensions, load center, required lifting height, working conditions and available turning space. These details allow the truck configuration to be checked before quotation.

12 Tons at a 600 mm Load Center
Rated capacity alone is not enough to select a heavy forklift. The FD120's 12,000 kg rating is specified with the load center at 600 mm.
If the load is longer, its center of gravity is farther forward, or a special attachment is used, the operating condition changes. This matters especially when handling machinery, long steel products or oversized industrial loads.
For an accurate quotation, provide both the total weight and the load dimensions instead of simply requesting a "12 ton forklift."
Recommended RFQ data: maximum weight + length × width × height + lifting point/load center + required lift height.

Site Planning
Check Turning Space Before Selecting the FD120
Heavy forklifts need considerably more maneuvering space than standard warehouse trucks. The FD120 has a listed minimum turning radius of 4,350 mm.
The truck is 2,300 mm wide, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase. Overall length including the standard forks is listed as 6,070 mm.
These dimensions should be checked against gates, internal roads, loading positions, production aisles and other fixed obstacles.
- Minimum turning radius: 4,350 mm
- Overall width: 2,300 mm
- Wheelbase: 3,000 mm
- Overall length with forks: 6,070 mm
- Cab / head guard height: 2,670 mm
Operating Performance
Travel, Lifting and Gradeability
For heavy-duty fleet planning, speed figures are most useful when considered together with load condition, operating distance and site gradient.
23 / 28 km/h
Travel Speed
Listed laden / unladen travel speed. Actual site operation should follow local traffic and safety requirements.
220 / 280 mm/s
Lifting Speed
Listed lifting speed with and without load, useful when comparing handling cycles.
20% / 22%
Gradeability
Listed laden / unladen gradeability. Site surface and actual load conditions should also be considered.
Load Interface
Fork and Carriage Dimensions Matter
The standard FD120 specification lists fork dimensions of 1,600 × 180 × 90 mm and a 2,080 mm fork carriage width.
Before ordering, compare these dimensions with the load pickup position. Heavy equipment, fabricated steel structures and unusual pallets may require different load-handling arrangements.
If your application uses a special attachment, include its type and load information in the inquiry so the complete configuration can be reviewed.

3
Lift Height
Specify the maximum height at which the heavy load must be handled.
4
Operating Site
Describe floor or yard conditions, gradients and available turning space.
5
