ZT916C 2 Ton All Terrain Articulated Rough Terrain Forklift
The ZT916C rough terrain forklift is a purpose-engineered material handling solution for construction sites, lumber yards, agricultural operations, and municipal projects. Powered by a Xinchai 490 diesel engine (42 HP / 32 kW), 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. As a direct loader manufacturer with over 20 years of Chinese construction machinery export experience, ZTMACHINE delivers this unit at factory price with full technical documentation and global shipping support. All heavy equipment components — including the 12-16.5 10PR pneumatic tires, high-torque 158.8 Nm engine, and planetary drive axles — are selected for global availability.

Procurement & Technical FAQ
What is the lead time for the ZT916C Rough Terrain Forklift?
Standard production lead time is 25–30 days upon receipt of deposit. For urgent requirements, we maintain stock of core heavy equipment 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 230 mm 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 2,000 mm is optimized for container transport. We provide a detailed 40HQ container loading plan showing how to secure the unit. Typically, one unit 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.
What warranty and after-sales service are included?
All ZT916C units include a 12-month or 2,000-hour warranty on the drivetrain and hydraulic system.
