Safety Features

The XF25 LPG is built around a low centre-of-gravity chassis design with a backward-tilting counterweight and an optimised triplex mast profile that keeps forward sightlines clear even when loads are elevated. The OPS (Operator Presence Sensing) system is standard — if the operator leaves the seat without applying the parking brake, drive and hydraulics are interrupted automatically.

The wet brake drive axle uses enclosed braking surfaces with custom high-strength bolts and wheel-side planetary reducers. Enclosed braking means consistent performance in dusty and wet conditions, far less maintenance than drum systems, and a service life well beyond 10 years under normal use.

All key electrical connectors are fully waterproofed, and the cast open steering axle increases the maximum internal turning angle to 82° — giving the machine better manoeuvrability in narrow aisles than older steering axle designs.

Hydraulics & Control System

The XF25 uses a high-pressure hydraulic system with load-sensing, steering-priority multiway valves to improve system efficiency across all operating conditions. The Shimadzu gear pump delivers low noise and reliable output throughout the hire period. All joints use 24° conic seals, and every high-pressure pipe joint includes a pressure measuring port for easier diagnostics and maintenance.

The fingertip control operating system is optional on this series and is available on request. Standard configuration uses conventional lever controls with a full-colour interactive instrument panel that displays real-time operating data, fault codes, and machine status.

Operator Comfort

Three-stage vibration reduction is built into the cab structure: the gearbox, overhead guard, and seat are all independently fully suspended. Sound-absorbing material is fitted to key structural surfaces to reduce cab noise on long shifts. The overhead guard is an integrated fully suspended unit — a full enclosed cabin is available as an option for cold-store or outdoor operation in harsh weather.

The ergonomic cab layout provides ample legroom with an enlarged cab space and adjustable steering column. The optional new-generation fingertip operating system relocates all hydraulic controls to the armrest for a more natural operating position.

Built Safe. Built to Perform.

Advanced safety systems as standard on every machine

The XF25 LPG is engineered around a low centre-of-gravity chassis with a backward-tilting counterweight and an optimised triplex mast that keeps forward sightlines clear even with a loaded carriage at height.

The OPS (Operator Presence Sensing) system is standard — if the operator leaves the seat without engaging the parking brake, drive and hydraulics are cut automatically. The wet brake drive axle uses enclosed disc surfaces rated for 10+ years of service life, and the cast open steering axle extends the internal turning angle to 82°, letting you work in aisles that would stop older-design machines. All key electrical connectors are fully waterproofed for reliable operation in wet or dusty environments.

Designed for All-Day Operation

Three-stage vibration reduction. Generous cab. Quiet hydraulics.

The XF series cab delivers full three-stage vibration isolation — the gearbox, overhead guard, and seat are each independently fully suspended. Sound-absorbing material on key structural surfaces reduces cabin noise, and the enlarged ergonomic cab provides ample legroom for operators on extended shifts.

All-round visibility is maximised through the optimised mast and counterweight profile. The interactive digital instrument panel displays operating status, fault codes, and hours in real time. An intelligent controller manages OPS shutdown, idle flameout timing, and optional speed limiting. LED streamer taillights and a new-generation energy-saving LED lighting system come as standard across the XF series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring the Hangcha XF25LPG in Geelong.

The XF25 LPG is rated at 2,500 kg at a 500 mm load centre. That covers the majority of pallet, drum, and crate loads in warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing environments. For loads with a longer load centre, the effective capacity reduces — refer to the load chart on the machine or contact us and we can walk you through it.

LPG forklifts are widely used in partially enclosed environments with adequate ventilation — loading docks, large warehouses, factory floors, and outdoor yards. They produce fewer particulate emissions than diesel, making them a cleaner choice in areas where people are working nearby. They are not suitable for fully enclosed, unventilated spaces; electric models are the right choice for those applications. If you're unsure, our team can advise on which machine suits your site.

The XF25 LPG is available in duplex and triplex mast configurations ranging from 2,700 mm to 6,000 mm lift height. The standard unit we hire has a triplex mast with 4,700 mm lift height. If you need a specific stack height, contact us and we'll confirm what's available.

Sideshift is available — either as standard equipment or as an optional add-on depending on the variant. Contact us when booking and we can confirm whether sideshift is fitted to the available unit.

The XF25 LPG runs 7.00-12 front and 6.00-9 rear pneumatic tyres as standard, which makes it suitable for both smooth warehouse floors and firm outdoor surfaces such as concrete yards and compacted gravel. Solid and non-marking tyre variants are available — ask us if you need a specific option for your application.

To operate a forklift in Australia you must hold a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) with a Forklift Truck (LF) class endorsement, issued under the relevant state Work Health and Safety authority. In Victoria this is issued by WorkSafe Victoria. The licence must be carried on-site and presented on request. Operators must be trained and assessed by a registered training organisation. If you need a forklift operator alongside the machine, Geelong Access Hire can arrange a licensed operator — see our Hire an Operator page.

The minimum turning radius is 2,180 mm (to the outer front tyre). This is a genuinely compact radius for a 2.5-tonne machine, making it well-suited to standard warehouse aisle widths. For reference, a 3,000 mm wide aisle is generally workable with this machine.

Yes. Geelong Access Hire offers both short-term and long-term hire arrangements. Weekly, monthly, and extended term rates are available. Long-term hire includes routine servicing as part of the agreement — contact us to discuss your project timeline and we'll put together a competitive package.

Yes. The pneumatic tyre specification and sealed waterproof electrical connectors make the XF25 well-suited to outdoor yards, loading docks, and construction sites with firm, compacted ground. It is not designed for soft ground, mud, or rough terrain — if that's your application, speak to us about rough terrain forklift options.

LPG cylinders are widely available through industrial gas suppliers across Geelong and the surrounding region. The XF25 uses a standard forklift LPG cylinder and the swap-and-go process is quick. Most hire customers arrange their own cylinder supply. If you need guidance on suppliers in the Geelong area, we're happy to point you in the right direction.
