Premium Heavy Duty IC Forklift Truck
The Hangcha Premium Heavy Duty IC Forklift Truck is a world-class diesel forklift offering a 14,000kg to 18,000kg capacity, a ZF transmission, a Kessler drive axle, and Rexroth hydraulics.
Formulated to support high-intensity heavy handling inside steel mills and port docks, this premium forklift integrates global components. The German Rexroth variable pump and control valves yield lift responses, while the ZF 3-speed Powershift transmission manages gear changes. Enclosed, maintenance-free Kessler wet-brake axles guarantee safe stopping.
Key Features
- German ZF Powershift: Microcontroller-guided 3-stage transmission designed for smooth shift changes.
- German Kessler Axle: Heavy-duty drive axle with fully enclosed wet multi-disc service brakes.
- Rexroth Hydraulic Valves: High-performance proportional pump systems yielding precise load positioning.
- Tilting Operator Cabin: Hydraulic cabin tilting assembly designed to simplify daily service runs.
Why is the Kessler wet-disc braking system preferred for heavy port staging?
Standard dry brakes degrade rapidly when exposed to abrasive port dust and moisture. Kessler's wet multi-disc brake system operates enclosed within a cooling oil bath inside the axle housing. This isolates brake discs from contaminants, preventing thermal fade and eliminating brake servicing.
