Applications & Markets
When procurement teams source material handling equipment for emerging markets, they look for machines that combine load capacity with site adaptability. The demand in construction, agriculture, and logistics hubs across Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America increasingly favors diesel-powered forklifts with 2- to 3.5-ton lifting capacity. The CPC20-K diesel forklift serves building material shops, farms, mining operations, and machinery repair depots, as listed in its applicable industries. With 4WD traction and solid tires rated for outdoor pavement, this truck fits operations where terrain is uneven and weather varies.
Export buyers often ask one question: “Will this forklift handle daily use on unimproved surfaces?” The answer comes down to the drive configuration. The CPC20-K’s 4WD and 35% gradeability (laden and unladen) mean it can climb slopes typical of rural construction sites without loss of load stability. A choice of mast types—single, two-stage, or three-stage—lets distributors match the lifting height (3 to 8 meters) to local warehousing standards.
Product Description
The CPC20-K diesel forklift, offered by Shandong Infront Machinery, is configured around a 2- to 3.5-ton rated load. Below, key technical parameters are paired with their practical advantage for operators and buyers.
- Engine brands (Kobelco, Koop, Kubota, Yanmar, Weichai, Other): Access to established diesel engine options means easier parts sourcing and local service familiarity.
- Rated output 39 kW at 2650 rpm / torque 160 Nm at 1980 rpm: Sufficient power for laden travel at 17 km/h and unladen at 19 km/h, cutting cycle times in yards.
- Mast types: Single, Two, Three Stage: From standard 3-meter lift to high-stacking 8-meter configurations, warehouses can match the mast to racking height without over-specifying.
- Fork dimensions: 1070×100×40 mm (L×W×H), available lengths 800–1200 mm: The standard fork profile handles common pallet sizes; longer options cater to oversized loads like lumber or pipe.
- Solid tires: Eliminate puncture downtime on sites with debris—critical in construction and recycling applications where pneumatic flats are common.
- Turning radius 2480 mm: Allows maneuvering in container yards and narrow aisles, aided by a 1600 mm wheelbase for stability.
- Mast tilt 6° forward / 12° rear: Provides safe load handling on ramps and when stacking, with fine tilt control to seat loads securely.
- Lift speed (laden) 540 mm/s, lower speed 450 mm/s: Cycle times that support continuous operation in busy loading docks.
- Load centre 500 mm: Standard 500 mm load center aligns with typical 48-inch pallet handling, keeping capacity ratings predictable.
- 12V 80Ah battery: A robust electrical start for the diesel engine, with capacity to support lights and instrumentation during long shifts.
Company Profile
Shandong Infront Machinery Co., Ltd. manufactures and supplies a range of compact and industrial equipment from Shandong, China. Their product line spans mini excavators, skid steer loaders, lawn mowers, dump trucks, and forklifts. This diversified portfolio indicates familiarity with both construction and logistics equipment, which can simplify sourcing for buyers looking to consolidate orders with a single supplier.
Quality & Compliance
As with any industrial vehicle, compliance with local safety and emissions standards is a buyer responsibility. Shandong Infront Machinery provides the CPC20-K with engine options from established manufacturers (Kobelco, Kubota, Yanmar) that typically carry their own emissions homologations. However, specific certification documents (CE, EPA, or equivalent) are not published in the standard specification; procurement teams should request compliance confirmations directly. The use of solid tires and a 4WD drivetrain suggests a design emphasis on durability for outdoor use, but formal quality management system certifications should be verified with the supplier.
CTA
For pricing and configuration: the CPC20-K diesel forklift is listed at a unit price range of US$600 to US$700, depending on engine brand and mast selection. Given the low price point, it is advisable to clarify whether this covers a base unit or requires additional shipping and duty costs. Buyers are encouraged to contact Shandong Infront Machinery to discuss bulk orders, engine preferences, and lead times. Ask for a detailed specification sheet that includes the selected engine’s power curve and available mast dimensions.
