About the 7T LPG/Petrol Forklift
The 7T LPG/Petrol counterbalance forklift is a heavy industrial machine built for load work that exceeds the safe operating range of standard warehouse counterbalances. Rated at 7,000 kg at a standard load centre, it is the right choice when the task involves heavy machinery, large fabricated steel assemblies, bulk material containers, or industrial plant components that a 2.5T to 3.5T machine cannot safely handle. LPG and petrol internal combustion power delivers immediate response and consistent hydraulic output throughout the shift with no charging downtime — refuelling takes minutes, making the machine well suited to multi-shift operations and sites without electrical infrastructure for battery charging. The duplex wide-view mast keeps forward sightlines clear when loads are at elevation, and the standard 3,000mm lift height covers most ground-level to racking and staging applications; extended mast configurations are available for requirements up to 6,000mm.
For businesses in the Geelong region needing short-term hire to handle a heavy lift project, machinery relocation, or peak-period materials handling, the 7T LPG/Petrol counterbalance provides genuine heavy-capacity performance in a machine that operates on familiar IC forklift principles. Pneumatic tyres handle both sealed hardstand and firm outdoor surfaces, and the machine transitions between yard and covered working areas without the emission restrictions of diesel in semi-enclosed environments — LPG combustion produces significantly lower particulate and carbon monoxide levels than diesel, broadening the range of sites where it can be used. Its 3,350mm turning radius requires adequate working space and a sound operating surface; where those conditions are met, this machine handles heavy load cycles with the duty factor and reliability that industrial hire applications demand.
Key Features
- LPG/Petrol IC power at 7,000 kg capacity — internal combustion power delivers consistent hydraulic performance under sustained heavy-lift cycles; LPG operation produces lower particulate emissions than diesel, making the machine suitable for use in semi-enclosed and covered industrial environments with adequate ventilation
- Duplex wide-view mast to 6,000 mm — wide-view mast profile maximises sightlines when heavy loads are elevated; standard lift height of 3,000mm covers most industrial staging applications, with extended mast options available to 6,000mm for higher racking and stacking requirements
- Pneumatic 8.25-15-14PR heavy-duty tyres — heavy pneumatic tyre specification provides the stability and traction needed for the machine weight and load combinations on hardstand yards, workshop floors, and firm outdoor surfaces
- No charging downtime across shifts — LPG cylinder swap or petrol refuel takes a few minutes, returning the machine to full capacity immediately; practical advantage over electric alternatives in high-duty-factor operations or sites without convenient charging infrastructure
