About the 3T LPG Forklift
The 3T LPG counterbalance forklift is one of the most widely used machines in general warehousing, manufacturing, and yard operations across the Geelong region. LPG power means no waiting for a battery charge — swap the cylinder and the machine is back at full capacity immediately — making it well suited to back-to-back shift environments and sites without the electrical infrastructure for charging. At 3,000kg rated capacity it handles the full range of palletised goods, timber, steel sections, and general freight that falls within the medium-to-heavy industrial class. The standard duplex mast suits typical warehouse racking heights, with mast options extending up to 7,000mm for high-bay storage requirements.
Where emissions are not a constraint, the LPG counterbalance consistently outperforms electric alternatives in outdoor and semi-outdoor settings — particularly on yard surfaces, loading docks, and through roller-door transitions between inside and outside. The pneumatic tyres provide stable load handling on concrete aprons, compacted gravel, and the light rough terrain common in logistics yards, retail distribution, and mixed indoor-outdoor operations. For businesses in the Geelong area that need a reliable, high-cycle workhorse without committing to electric infrastructure, this machine covers the majority of day-to-day pallet handling and materials movement tasks.
Key Features
- Instant refuel, zero downtime — LPG cylinder swap takes under five minutes, making this machine practical for multi-shift operations and sites where battery charging infrastructure is unavailable or impractical
- Pneumatic tyre configuration — front 28×9-15-12PR and rear 6.50-10-10PR pneumatic tyres provide confident load stability on both sealed floors and outdoor yard surfaces, including light rough terrain
- Mast options up to 7,000mm — standard duplex mast covers typical warehouse racking; extended and triplex mast configurations allow high-bay placement without changing machine class or footprint
- Compact turning radius for the capacity class — 2,350mm turning radius allows operation in standard industrial aisle widths without lane widening, keeping the 3T capacity accessible in existing facilities
