Core Advantages of ZT916C Articulated Forklift
The ZT916C articulated diesel forklift stands out in the global heavy equipment market with four core advantages: compact structure, strong power, flexible operation, and durable quality. Its ultra-small body size (3770mm length without forks, 1630mm width) allows it to work freely in narrow spaces that ordinary forklifts cannot enter, greatly improving space utilization and operational efficiency. Equipped with a professional articulated design, it has a smaller turning radius of 4800mm, achieving flexible steering and precise handling in limited areas. The 30° gradeability with load ensures stable operation on uneven roads, slopes, and outdoor construction sites, expanding the application scope of the equipment.
Powered by the well-known Xinchai 490 engine, the ZT916C provides strong power output and excellent fuel economy, meeting the strict requirements of long-term heavy-load operation. The advanced transmission system with 2 forward and 2 reverse gears (6-18Km/h speed) ensures smooth shifting and stable travel, adapting to different working scenarios. The high-strength mast, durable tires (12-16.5 10PR), and optimized hydraulic system work together to achieve a 400mm/s lifting speed, improving handling efficiency while ensuring operational safety. All heavy equipment components are manufactured and inspected in strict accordance with international standards, ensuring long service life and low failure rate.
As a factory-direct product from Shandong Tai'an, the ZT916C offers unbeatable factory price without compromising quality.
