About the 4T LPG Forklift
The 4T LPG forklift occupies a practical position between the standard 2.5T–3T counterbalance range and the heavy-duty machines typically associated with steel processing or large-scale manufacturing. At 4,000kg rated capacity, it handles the loads that routinely exceed what lighter forklifts can safely manage — dense building materials, bundled steel sections, heavy machinery components, bulk bagged products, and large-format palletised goods common in import/export and industrial supply operations. LPG combustion produces substantially lower carbon monoxide and particulate emissions than diesel, which makes this machine suitable for semi-enclosed environments such as covered loading docks, large warehouses, and food-adjacent facilities where adequate ventilation is maintained. The standard duplex mast lifts to 3,000mm at rated load, with available configurations extending to 6,000mm for operations requiring access to elevated racking or high-bay storage.
For Geelong-region businesses needing short-term hire to manage project loads, seasonal peaks, equipment breakdowns, or site contracts requiring a heavier counterbalance machine, the 4T LPG eliminates the charging downtime associated with electric forklifts — cylinder swaps take minutes and the machine returns to full rated power immediately. Pneumatic tyres give it the traction and stability to operate on yard hardstand, sealed concrete, and mixed indoor/outdoor transitions without tyre changes. The 2,780mm turning radius is appropriate for standard loading bay widths and warehouse aisle configurations, and the 4,260mm overall length keeps the machine manageable in sites where a larger 5T or heavier machine would create congestion.
Key Features
- LPG power for multi-shift indoor and outdoor operation — lower emissions than diesel allow use in warehouses, covered yards, and semi-enclosed facilities with adequate ventilation; LPG cylinder swap takes minutes, keeping the machine productive across back-to-back shifts without charging downtime
- 4,000kg rated capacity at 500mm load centre — handles dense building materials, heavy machinery, bundled steel, and large-format palletised goods that regularly exceed the safe limits of standard 2.5T–3T counterbalance machines
- Pneumatic tyre configuration — 8.25-15-14PR front and 7.00-12-12PR rear pneumatic tyres provide the traction and load stability required for yard operation, mixed indoor/outdoor transitions, and compacted hardstand surfaces common on Geelong industrial sites
- Duplex wide-view mast with 6,000mm lift capability — the standard configuration provides 3,000mm lift height; operations requiring access to elevated racking or high-bay storage can request mast configurations up to 6,000mm to suit site requirements
