28 Ton Diesel Forklift (Heavy-Duty Series)
When you are moving 28,000kg of coiled steel, precast concrete, or oversized industrial machinery, there is no room for structural fatigue or drivetrain failure. The Xinghao 28 ton diesel forklift is engineered strictly for extreme continuous duty.
Falling right into the heavy-lift sweet spot, this 28t lift truck offers significantly more capacity buffer than a standard 25-ton machine, while remaining more maneuverable and cost-effective than massive 30+ ton equipment. We build these trucks to keep your heaviest operations moving with maximum uptime and zero excuses.
Engineered for the Harshest Environments

Procurement directors don't buy heavy forklifts; they buy reliability. Here is the mechanical foundation that makes our 28-ton series a trusted workhorse in global steel mills and port terminals:
1. Uncompromising Powertrain (Cummins / Volvo) A 28-ton payload requires massive low-end torque. We power our heavy forklifts with globally proven, high-displacement diesel engines from Cummins or Volvo (available in Tier 3 to Stage V emission standards, depending on your local regulations). This ensures your fleet has the raw power needed to climb ramps fully loaded, while guaranteeing that your local mechanics can easily source engine parts anywhere in the world.
2. Heavy-Duty Drivetrain & Kessler Axles The front drive axle bears the brunt of a 28,000kg load. We equip this machine with a reinforced, heavy-duty drive axle (Kessler-style available) paired with a premium ZF or Dana powershift transmission. This combination guarantees smooth, jerk-free acceleration and protects the transmission from the brutal shock loads typical in heavy yard operations.
3. Reinforced Mast & Structural Integrity Lifting heavy is one thing; keeping it stable is another. The mast on our 28-ton diesel forklift is constructed from high-tensile steel channels with a wide-view design. Whether you are using standard heavy-duty forks, a specialized steel coil ram, or a massive block clamp, the reinforced carriage prevents mast sway and twisting, ensuring complete operator safety and load security.
4. Maintenance-Free Braking System Stopping a fully loaded 28-ton truck safely requires immense stopping power. We utilize a fully enclosed hydraulic wet-disc brake system. Unlike traditional dry brakes that burn out quickly under heavy loads, our wet-disc brakes operate in an oil bath, keeping them cool, preventing brake fade, and virtually eliminating brake maintenance costs.
