Firstly, let’s see what are the different features of rough terrain forklifts compared with ordinary forklifts?

1. High passability

1.1, The main function of rough terrain forklift is off-road. Those what ordinary forklift can’t pass, rough terrain forklift can get it going. Just think about the difference between off-road vehicles and ordinary cars. For example, when travelling the uneven road, ordinary cars must have been stranded on the chassis. But due to high chassis of off-road vehicles that the off-road car can pass it without no problem. Usually the ground clearance of the rough terrian car is two times of the standard car.

1.2, off-road forklifts have four-wheel drive function, plus differential lock function, which is a good solution to the problem of slippage. Especially in the mud pit, ordinary forklift can not go through it, which just is suitable for working on even ground.

2. High stability

  As we have just said, the chassis is high, so the center of gravity is also high. In order to increase the stability when working under uneven places, rough terrain forklift is generally longer and wider than ordinary forklift in the terms of the wheelbase for the same tonnage

forklift. Therefore the stability should be stronger. And the rough terrain forklifts are generally working in outdoors situations, The outdoor space is large, unlike in the narrow warehouse aisle where you can’t turn around, so you don’t need to care much about the flexibility of the forklift.

  At the same time, rough terrain forklift has Multiple buffering treatments like big tires, suspension cabin, shock absorbing seat, and then with full floating transmission system to further reduce the impact from engine vibration to the whole truck, even on the uneven road. Thus the driver also can feel such vibration greatly reduced and was received a high level comfortable operation experience.

 The hinge of the steering axle also has a large swing range

3. High hill climbing performance

3.1 The engine of rough terrain forklift is generally more powerful. The climbing ability can reach 60%, which is 2-3 times of the ordinary forklift of the same tonnage.

3.2 When you keep reading here, you can see how strong the rough terrain forklift it is. Also its tires are wider and bigger. And the tread pattern is also especially deep, anti-skid and also anti-puncture. It’s the special tires for rough terrain forklift, greatly different from the ordinary tires of ordinary forklifts.

4. High reliability

Since rough terrain forklift usually works in outdoor conditions like mud farm, the working environment is much worse than the ordinary forklift. Therefore, it should be especially sturdy to use and cannot break down frequently. So, when you want to buy a good rough terrain forklift, you can check those key points. Glad that Fork Focus rough terrain forklift meet all of these request.

1. First of all, usually the mast, drive axle and steering axle will be strengthened to improve the safety factor by more than 3.5 times, in order that they can be fearless of extreme road bumps and huge impacts.

2. Secondly, two-stage air filter, it will be adopted to filter the dust and impurities of the air.

3. Strengthen the waterproof performance, Because working in the outdoor, mud and water will increase the probability of wading.

4. Fully closed wet brake. Most other Chinese suppliers fix with ordinary drum brake. But this ordinary drum brakes are open brakes, thus water, mud, oil and dirt take great impact on brake, while wet brakes can be completely avoided this trouble. It has a long brake life, reliable braking torque, most important, it’s maintenance-free.

5. The cylinder piston rod will add a protective sleeve to prevent sand and dust from scratching the piston rod

6. Vertical exhaust. If the exhaust pipe is too low, and when the wading area is too deep, that will result in a bad damage to engine.
