This 1.5 tonne diesel forklift for hire is purpose-built for smooth terrain, indoor, and flat-surface operations across warehouses, factories, and distribution centres. With a maximum lift height of 2.0 metres and a rated lift capacity of 1,500 kg, it’s the ideal material handling solution for light to medium-duty applications.

The overall length measures 3.165 m with forks (or 2.245 m without forks), making it practical for on-site transport and storage.

Powered by a reliable diesel engine (also available in gas configuration), this forklift delivers consistent torque, fuel efficiency, and dependable performance for extended operating hours on hard, level surfaces. The heavy-duty chassis, ergonomic operator controls, and smooth hydrostatic handling system ensure safe, precise load placement during repetitive lifting tasks.

Equipped with side-shift fork positioners, this diesel forklift provides greater load accuracy and improved pallet handling efficiency — reducing handling time and increasing productivity in busy warehouse and logistics environments.
