How much can the 2.5 tonne rough terrain forklift lift?
This machine has a maximum lift capacity of 2,500 kg and a maximum lift height of approximately 3.3 m. It is designed for medium-duty lifting on sites where the ground is uneven, soft or unfinished.
When should I choose a rough terrain forklift over a standard warehouse forklift?
Choose a rough terrain forklift (also called an all-terrain forklift or “buggy”) when you need to work on uneven, soft, muddy, gravel or sloping ground. Standard forklifts are built for smooth concrete or asphalt and can become unstable or get stuck on rough surfaces. The 2.5T rough terrain model has the traction, ground clearance and stability needed for construction sites, outdoor yards, events and unfinished ground.
What jobs is the 2.5T rough terrain forklift best suited for?
It is ideal for construction sites, outdoor storage yards, landscaping, events on grass or gravel, and any location where the surface is not perfectly flat and hard. The 2.5 tonne capacity suits medium loads such as pallets, building materials and equipment that need to be moved across rough ground.
Does AAH organise delivery and pickup of the rough terrain forklift?
Yes. AAH handles delivery to your site and collection at the end of the hire. Both short-term and long-term rentals are available from our branches in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, so you don’t have to manage the logistics yourself.
