16T Diesel Forklift

Cat Class:
231-5130

Product description

The 16T Diesel Forklift is the heaviest machine in the diesel forklift range, built for 16t diesel forklift hire on ports, heavy industry, and large infrastructure sites lifting the biggest loads a forklift can take on. With a 16 tonne rated capacity and diesel drive, it moves loaded containers, large steel fabrications, heavy plant, and precast elements with the power and stability these jobs demand. It suits container terminals, steel works, and major projects where loads are exceptionally heavy. The diesel engine delivers the torque to handle full-rated loads across long shifts on firm level ground, giving sites a true heavy-lift forklift. Make, model and specifications may vary. Stocked models include but are not limited to those pictured.
