About the 3.8T LPG Forklift
The 3.8T LPG counterbalance forklift is the right choice when standard 2.5T–3T machines are underpowered for the task. At 3,800 kg rated capacity with a maximum lift height of 7.0 metres, it handles heavy palletised goods, steel, building materials, and bulk industrial loads that require a genuine heavy-duty machine. LPG power delivers immediate full-torque performance, fast cylinder changes rather than multi-hour recharges, and reliable operation across both indoor and outdoor environments — making it a practical hire option for busy sites where downtime is not acceptable.
For the Geelong region, this capacity class suits heavy manufacturing, construction supply yards, timber and steel distribution, and any operation regularly moving loads in the 2.5T–3.8T range. The pneumatic tyres handle yard surfaces and loading docks without the limitations of cushion-tyre machines, and the quad-mast configuration to 7.0 metres gives racking reach that covers most industrial mezzanine and high-bay storage requirements. It is a direct swap in-and-out for sites that run a counterbalance forklift fleet and need a short-term heavy lifter without the commitment of ownership.
Key Features
- 3,800 kg rated capacity — handles loads well beyond standard warehouse forklifts, including steel coils, heavy machinery components, and bulk bagged goods, with a meaningful safety margin on typical heavy industrial pallets
- 7.0 m maximum lift height — quad mast configuration reaches standard high-bay racking tiers, keeping this machine versatile across warehousing and distribution environments as well as yard work
- LPG power with fast refuel — cylinder swap takes under five minutes, avoiding the extended downtime of overnight battery charging; full engine power is available from the first lift on a fresh cylinder
- Pneumatic tyres front and rear — suited to both sealed warehouse floors and rougher yard or construction-site surfaces, making this a genuinely dual-environment machine
