About the 10T Heavy Duty Diesel Forklift
When a job demands moving loads that smaller counterbalance forklifts simply cannot handle, the 10T heavy duty diesel is the right machine. With a 10,000 kg rated capacity at a 600 mm load centre, it is built for operations dealing with heavy machinery, structural steel, precast concrete panels, bulk bagged materials, and large fabricated components. The Yuchai 6-cylinder diesel engine delivers 92 kW of power, giving the machine the grunt needed to handle steep grades and extended shifts in outdoor industrial environments without performance drop-off. This is a machine for serious heavy industry — not an oversized choice for standard warehouse work, but the correct tool when loads exceed what lighter counterbalances can safely manage.
At Geelong Access Hire, the 10T diesel is available for short or long-term hire and suits port facilities, heavy manufacturing plants, precast concrete yards, steel processing operations, and large civil construction sites around Geelong and the broader region. The duplex wide-view mast offers a standard lift height of 3.0 m with full 6.0 m capability available with appropriate mast configuration, keeping sightlines clear during approach and stack. Pneumatic tyres handle the rough and uneven surfaces typical of industrial yards and outdoor worksites, and the machine's gradeability means it can safely traverse the ramps and gradients common to loading docks and laydown areas.
Key Features
- 10,000 kg rated capacity at 600 mm load centre — handles very large single lifts including machinery, structural steel, precast concrete, and bulk palletised materials without secondary handling
- Yuchai YC6B125-T20 diesel engine (92 kW, 6-cylinder, 6871 cc) delivers high torque output for demanding cycles, grades up to 25% laden, and extended operational shifts in outdoor environments
- Pneumatic 9.00-20-14PR tyres provide the traction, stability, and ride quality needed on rough industrial yard surfaces, gravel, and compacted earth — not limited to smooth sealed floors
- Duplex wide-view mast with 10° forward / 12° rear tilt and a lowered height of 2,850 mm keeps the mast out of sightlines during travel and approach, improving operator visibility when manoeuvring heavy loads in congested yards
