Compact Heavy-Lift Series
16-Ton Capacity for Space-Conscious Operations
The small 16 ton diesel forklift is intended for industrial buyers who need high-capacity load handling without selecting a larger chassis than the site requires. Its 16,000 kg rating is paired with 600 mm and 900 mm load-center choices for different load depths.
A short-chassis counterbalance layout supports work around production buildings, material yards and loading zones where route planning matters. Engine, mast, tire and attachment choices allow the truck to be configured around the cargo rather than forcing one standard package onto every project.
Compact counterbalance arrangement for heavy industrial load handling.
Published Configuration Overview
Start With the Load, Then Build the Truck Around It
16,000 kgRated load capacity
600 / 900 mmLoad-center choices
Diesel OptionsCummins, Volvo or Weichai
2-Stage MastWide-view mast arrangement
Load center is the horizontal distance from the fork face to the load's center of gravity. A deeper load changes the leverage acting on the truck, so buyers should state the actual cargo dimensions, weight distribution and pickup method when requesting a quotation.

Site Fit
Compact Does Not Mean Choosing by Capacity Alone
A heavy lift truck must fit the whole working route. The loading point may have enough room, while a doorway, corner, ramp or staging lane becomes the real restriction.
Route envelope
Check gates, roof clearance, turns and opposing traffic along the complete travel path.
Floor conditions
Review gradients, joints, drainage channels and the surface used at pickup and set-down points.
Load geometry
Provide width, depth, center of gravity and the underside clearance available for fork entry.
Daily duty
State travel distance, shift length, lift frequency and indoor or outdoor operating conditions.
Configuration Paths
Match the Powertrain, Mast and Contact Point to the Job
Power, control and ground contact
- Cummins, Volvo and Weichai diesel engine choices are listed for project selection.
- A reinforced hydraulic powershift transmission supports controlled direction changes.
- Hydraulic braking is specified for the heavy-duty chassis.
- Pneumatic and solid tire configurations can be discussed for the operating surface.
Mast, forks and attachments
- A two-stage wide-view mast is the published base arrangement.
- Fork length and mast height can be selected around the load and stacking level.
- Available attachment directions include side shift, fork positioning and a coil ram.
- Hydraulic functions should be defined with the chosen attachment before production.

Turn a Capacity Request Into a Usable Specification
A clear quotation should connect the cargo, site and supplied options. This reduces late changes to the mast, forks, tires or hydraulic layout.
Define the load
Record maximum weight, dimensions, center of gravity, packaging and pickup points.
Map the route
List door openings, overhead limits, corners, ramps and working clearances.
Select the handling interface
Choose fork dimensions or an attachment according to the cargo and support method.
Fix the supplied configuration
Place the engine, mast, tires, cab, paint and hydraulic functions on one order sheet.
OEM and Delivery Planning
Make the Commercial File as Clear as the Machine
OEM scope
Dealer and fleet projects can discuss paint color, decals, cab arrangement, fork selection and compatible attachments. Each requested item should be separated into standard and optional scope on the quotation.
Handover information
Before shipment, buyers can request the final configuration sheet, product photographs, packing information, operating documents and a recommended spare-parts list for the supplied unit.
Buyer Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed to select the 600 mm or 900 mm load center?Provide the load depth, center-of-gravity position, maximum weight, fork-entry side and required lift height. The quotation can then be based on the actual load condition.
Can the truck be supplied with longer forks?Fork selection can be discussed for long or deep cargo. The load support, fork spacing, load center and working aisle should be reviewed together.
Which tires are suitable for indoor industrial floors?Solid tires may suit sites where puncture resistance is important, while pneumatic configurations can suit other surfaces. The floor condition, travel distance and ride requirements should guide the choice.
Can a fork positioner or coil ram be installed?Yes, these are listed attachment directions. Share the cargo drawing and handling method so the carriage, hydraulic functions and attachment can be matched as one system.
What should an overseas buyer include in the inquiry?Include the load data, lift height, site route, operating surface, daily duty, engine preference, cab requirements, destination port and any OEM branding request.
