13.5 Ton Diesel Forklift for Heavy Industrial Loads
Our CPCD135 diesel forklift is rated for 13,500 kg at a 600 mm load center. The published configuration combines a 3,000 mm standard lift, 1,600 mm forks, 4,600 mm turning radius and 17,500 kg operating weight for heavy industrial material handling where a standard 10-ton-class forklift no longer provides sufficient rated capacity.
A Step into the Heavy-Lift Forklift Class
A 13.5 ton forklift should be selected when the normal load profile genuinely exceeds the capability of smaller industrial counterbalance trucks. The decision should use the maximum routine load rather than an occasional average.
We also review load depth, fork requirement, lift height and attachment geometry because the 13,500 kg rating is specified at a 600 mm load center.

Confirm the Diesel Engine by Market and Service Requirement
The CPCD135 parameter data lists several engine configurations rather than one universal engine. We therefore recommend confirming engine model, rated output and emission requirement as part of the quotation.
This is particularly important for fleet buyers because engine selection affects regulatory compatibility, local parts sourcing and maintenance planning.
Published Engine Configurations
Check the 13.5 Ton Chassis Against the Actual Yard Route
Published overall length including forks.
Overall truck width.
Minimum turning radius.
Published cab height.
These dimensions should be checked against gates, turning intersections, loading areas and any restricted industrial routes. A heavy-lift forklift requires substantially more maneuvering space than a standard warehouse truck.
13,500 kg Capacity Is Rated at a 600 mm Load Center
Rated tonnage does not describe every heavy load. Long steel components, machinery, stone products and large industrial packages can move the load center farther forward, changing the real load moment.
We review the complete load geometry before confirming whether CPCD135 is suitable.
- Maximum load weight
- Load length, width and height
- Actual center of gravity
- Required fork length and spacing
- Required lifting height
- Attachment type, if any
Long Loads Need a Load-Moment Check
A load weighing less than 13,500 kg may still require a different configuration if its center of gravity is substantially beyond the 600 mm rated load center.
Send a load drawing when handling machinery, long bundles or irregular industrial cargo.
Travel, Lift and Gradient Data for Route Planning
Loaded / unloaded travel speed.
Loaded / unloaded lifting speed.
Published loaded / unloaded gradeability.
Published traction force.
Gradeability should not be treated as automatic approval for every ramp. Ramp length, surface, operating frequency and actual load should be reviewed together.
Where the CPCD135 Capacity Class Fits
Heavy Manufacturing
Move machinery, fabricated components and heavy production loads between work areas.
Industrial Yards
Handle large palletized or bundled loads where the route supports the CPCD135 chassis.
Steel & Stone Handling
Evaluate long or dense loads using their actual dimensions, center of gravity and required fork configuration.
Confirm the Final Heavy-Lift Configuration Before Order
Engine, emission, transmission configuration, axle specification, cab equipment and optional systems should be confirmed against the final CPCD135 quotation. The selected configuration should be documented explicitly before order.

CPCD135 Heavy Lift Forklift Buying Questions
The CPCD135 is rated for 13,500 kg at a 600 mm load center. Long or irregular loads should be reviewed using their actual center of gravity.
The published standard mast lift height is 3,000 mm. Send the required fork height and load details if a different mast configuration is needed.
Current published parameter data lists Yuchai YC6J150-T301, Dongfeng Cummins 6BT5.9-C130 and Dongfeng Cummins QSB4.5-C130 configurations. We confirm the selected engine and emission requirement in the quotation.
The published minimum turning radius is 4,600 mm. Actual maneuvering space also depends on load length, fork position, obstacles and the required route.
No. The listed loaded gradeability is 20%, but actual ramp suitability depends on ramp length, surface condition, operating frequency and load.
