2 Ton All Terrain Articulated Rough Terrain Forklift

Superior Off-Road Performance: 230mm ground clearance and articulated steering (4.8m turning radius) ensure adaptability to rough terrain, with 30° gradeability for steep slopes.
Heavy-Duty Loading Capacity: 2,000kg load capacity at 500mm load center, combined with 1,220mm fork length for wide cargo handling.
High Operational Efficiency: 400mm/s lift speed paired with dual-speed transmission (6–18km/h) optimizes productivity.
Robust Construction: Powered by Xinchai 490 diesel engine (42HP), weighing 3,800kg with a 1,370mm wheelbase for enhanced stability.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for construction, agriculture, ports, and warehouses. Its compact design (1,630mm width) and durability make it a high-performance solution for tough outdoor material handling.

ZT916C 2 Ton All Terrain Articulated Rough Terrain Forklift

The ZT916C rough terrain forklift is a purpose-built material handling solution for construction sites, lumber yards, and agricultural operations. Powered by a Xinchai 490 diesel engine (42 HP), this articulated forklift combines a 2,000 kg load capacity with 30° gradeability to ensure operational continuity on muddy, uneven, or gravel-covered surfaces where standard warehouse forklifts fail.

Engineering Reliability for Global Export Markets

With over 20 years of experience in Chinese construction machinery export, ZT MACHINE designs the ZT916C specifically for the rigors of international logistics. Unlike standard counterbalance forklifts, the ZT916C features an articulated steering frame that reduces the turning radius to 4.8 meters, solving the problem of maneuvering in tight farm lanes or congested construction sites. The 230mm ground clearance ensures the chassis remains unscathed by rocks or debris, significantly reducing undercarriage maintenance costs for fleet operators.

The integration of a dual-speed synchromesh transmission (6-18 km/h) addresses the need for both precise inching during load placement and rapid travel between job sites. For B2B buyers concerned with lifecycle costs, the heavy equipment components utilized—such as the 12-16.5 10PR pneumatic tires and high-torque 158.8 Nm engine—are selected for global availability, ensuring that after-sales support is accessible regardless of the destination port.

In containerized shipping scenarios, the ZT916C’s transport height of 2,000mm allows for efficient loading within a standard 40HQ container. Our engineering team optimizes the 40HQ container loading plan to fit two units per container when disassembled, drastically cutting ocean freight expenses for bulk orders. This logistical efficiency translates directly into a lower landed cost for distributors and end-users alike.

Procurement & Technical FAQ

What is the lead time for the ZT916C Rough Terrain Forklift?

Standard production lead time is 30-40 days upon receipt of deposit. For urgent requirements, we maintain stock of core components to expedite assembly. Shipping time varies by destination port, typically 30-45 days for ocean freight from Qingdao.

How does the ZT916C perform in muddy agricultural fields?

The combination of 12-16.5 10PR lug tires and a differential drive axle provides superior traction. The 230mm ground clearance prevents the chassis from "high centering" on wet soil, and the articulated steering prevents tire scrubbing, which minimizes soil compaction compared to rigid-frame units.

Can the ZT916C be shipped in a 40HQ container?

Yes. The mast height of 2,000mm is optimized for container transport. We provide a detailed 40HQ container loading plan showing how to secure the unit. Typically, 3 units fits per 40HQ with space for spare parts and attachments.

Do you offer spare parts support for international clients?

As an established loader manufacturer, we supply a full range of wear parts (filters, seals, hoses). We recommend ordering a spare parts kit with the initial shipment to cover the first 1,000 service hours. r the ZT916C Rough Terrain Forklift.
