5.5 t X Series Stone-Handling IC Forklift
Stone yards punish ordinary forklifts through dust, impact, high load centres and constant brake contamination. This 5.5 t X Series package is reinforced around the mast, axle, braking, filtration and hydraulic system for slab, block and quarry handling.
Where this forklift fits
Stone yards punish ordinary forklifts through dust, impact, high load centres and constant brake contamination. This 5.5 t X Series package is reinforced around the mast, axle, braking, filtration and hydraulic system for slab, block and quarry handling.
5.5 t at 600 mm load centre
23/25 km/h
0.53/0.56 m/s
Available models and configurations
Model suffixes identify engine, transmission, emission and market packages. ForkFocus confirms the full designation before quotation so the delivered truck, parts list and service documents match.
Product USP
Fully enclosed wet brakes
The wet-brake system is protected from stone dust and water, reducing the maintenance problems of open drum brakes.
Reinforced axle and mast
The axle housing safety factor reaches about 3.7, while mast rollers and structure are strengthened for impact loading.
Dust protection
A double-paper air filter, high breather, protected radiator and waterproof connectors address quarry contamination.
High hydraulic pressure
Up to 230 bar supports demanding stone clamps and fork-positioning equipment after hydraulic matching.
Fast lift cycle
Lift speed reaches 0.53/0.56 m/s, useful for repeated block movement when stability is controlled.
Two-pump convergence
The hydraulic arrangement supplies high flow when required while controlling oil temperature in sustained work.
Performance in real work
Travel: 23/25 km/h. Lift: 0.53/0.56 m/s.
Gradeability: 20%. Attachment hydraulics: 230 bar.
These figures become useful only after tyre type, engine package, load centre, mast height and attachment weight are confirmed. ForkFocus compares the complete working cycle—not one catalogue number.
Five selection points from practical forklift work
- Confirm whether the load is a block, slab pack or finished stone because the attachment and surface protection are different.
- Measure the true load centre including fork thickness, pallet or clamp depth; stone loads are dense but not always compact.
- Wet brakes are a major durability advantage where abrasive dust reaches wheel ends.
- Use tyres and rims rated for the axle load and yard surface; stone debris can destroy unsuitable pneumatic tyres.
- Plan radiator and air-filter cleaning intervals around the site dust level, not only engine hours.
Choose the platform by duty, not only price
| Platform | Practical difference | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard X 5.0–7.0 t | General industrial structure and brakes | Normal yards and factories |
| X Stone 5.5 t | Wet brakes, dust protection, reinforced mast/axle and 230 bar hydraulics | Quarries, slab yards and block handling |
| X Heavy Duty 6–12 t | Larger chassis and higher nominal capacity | Higher load centres or loads beyond the 5.5 t stone platform |
Why Hangcha
This stone platform is not a cosmetic option pack. Wet brakes, dust control, mast reinforcement and high-pressure hydraulics address the failure points seen in quarry work.
Two engine packages and reinforced running gear allow the truck to be matched to local service conditions without losing the stone-duty structure.
Why ForkFocus
We turn the model into a checked working specification. ForkFocus reviews block or slab dimensions, surface condition, load centre, yard floor and required stone clamp before confirming the truck. The Forklift Attachment, hydraulic hoses, planned service parts, inspection and shipment can be managed as one stone-handling project.
Planned forklift parts, the correct Forklift Attachment and flexible shipment planning are integrated before dispatch.

A relevant working video shows load behaviour, operator visibility and cycle flow more clearly than a specification table alone.
ForkFocus 360 Service continues from technical confirmation through inspection, documents, delivery and after-sales coordination.
Frequently asked questions
Why not use a standard 5.5 t forklift in a stone yard?
Standard open brakes, filtration and mast components can wear rapidly in abrasive dust and impact work. The stone package addresses those areas.
Which engines are listed?
Available engine packages include Xinchai 4D32RG30 and Yuchai YC4DK75-T303; final availability is confirmed for the destination.
What is the normal delivery time?
About 45 days after technical confirmation and deposit, subject to engine and stone-clamp configuration.
Can it use a stone clamp?
Yes. Clamp type, opening range, pad surface, hydraulic pressure and residual capacity must be checked from the actual stone dimensions.
What warranty applies?
Normally 1–2 years or 2,000 working hours, whichever comes first. Special terms may be agreed for special projects.
Confirm the forklift around the real load
Send the load dimensions, weight, lift height, route and required attachment. Our forklift team normally responds within two working hours.
