ZT916C All-Terrain Forklift – Conquers Steep Slopes & Rough Roads
30° Gradeability · 230 mm Ground Clearance · 2,000 kg Load Capacity
This “terrain-adaptive” forklift boasts 30° gradeability — hauling full loads up ramps like it's glued to the surface. 230 mm ground clearance lets it smash through construction site bumps and outdoor rubble, crushing limitations both indoors and out.

20+ Years Export Experience, Engineered for Complex Job Sites
As a professional loader manufacturer with over 20 years of export experience, Zhengtai Machine (ZT MACHINE) has shipped thousands of units to more than 60 countries across Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. The ZT916C is the direct result of this global feedback — a 2-ton all-terrain forklift engineered to stay productive where conventional forklifts fail.
Buyers new to Chinese construction machinery export often worry about spec accuracy and after-sales reliability. We eliminate those concerns with a transparent quality system: every ZT916C is assembled from verified heavy equipment components — Xinchai 490 engine, reinforced chassis, and wet-brake axle — and undergoes a 48-hour continuous load test before crating.
The ZT916C solves real-world problems. Its 2,000 kg load capacity at 500 mm load center handles bricks, pallets, and steel coils with ease. The 400 mm/s lifting speed and 4,800 mm turning radius allow it to maneuver in tight warehouse aisles, while the 30° gradeability keeps it working on ramps and sloped yards. The 12‑16.5 tyres and 230 mm axle clearance make short work of construction debris and unpaved site entrances.
Operator comfort was a design priority. The cabin features a fully adjustable seat, low noise and vibration levels, and clear instrumentation for real-time monitoring. The hydraulic system uses pilot controls, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. These details translate directly into higher daily output — customers report 20–25% more cycles per shift compared to older forklifts.
Our factory price direct-supply model removes middlemen, giving you best value for your investment. We also support OEM branding, custom paint, and third-party inspections (SGS / BV) at any stage. Spare parts — filters, seals, hydraulic hoses, and brake components — ship in wooden boxes within 24 hours of an emergency order, keeping your fleet running.
Why do fleet managers and contractors choose the ZT916C? Because it solves four pain points at once: poor terrain adaptability, high fuel consumption, slow lifting cycles, and operator fatigue. With 20+ years of export experience behind it, the ZT916C is built to perform — season after season, site after site.
