- 2500 kg rated load at 500 mm load center
- 3000 mm listed lift height

When to Compare a 2.5 Ton Diesel Forklift
This capacity class can be worth comparing when a 2 ton truck does not cover the intended load but your workflow does not automatically require a larger model. Use the actual cargo weight, load center and placement height to establish the lifting case. The nominal 2500 kg rating is not a general guarantee for long crates or fitted attachments.
Diesel refueling may suit firm outdoor receiving yards and industrial loading areas where charging arrangements are limited. It does not make every diesel forklift suitable for soft ground, steep gradients or enclosed workplaces. Tell us about ground conditions and exhaust exposure before choosing the power type.
1070 mm Forks and Working-Space Requirements
The sheet lists forks measuring 40 × 122 × 1070 mm. Compare fork length and section with your pallet openings, cargo support needs and attachment requirements. Longer or special forks need an agreed specification and capacity check, not an assumption that an alternative fits the same rating.
The 1160 mm overall width, 2615 mm length without forks and 2390 mm minimum turning radius are useful for a first route survey. Working aisle requirements also depend on the load and maneuvering clearance. Record corners, loading ramps, doors and the space available for turning with a pallet.
Account for Truck Weight and Low Mast Clearance
The listed machine weight is 3935 kg. A loaded operating condition includes the truck, cargo and any fitted equipment; dock and floor limits should not be assessed from pallet weight alone. Have the relevant site limits and actual supplied truck information checked before use.
The mast clearance entry is 115 mm, and the lowered mast is listed at 2070 mm with a 2120 mm overhead guard. These figures describe different clearances. The sheet lists only 30 mm free lift, so do not treat this configuration as a full-free-lift container truck.
Engine, Inspection and Export Quote
The source lists Quanchai V29-50V42 for this series. Confirm the exact engine variant, rated power, service information and documents required in your destination. An engine label or general supplier certificate does not establish market compliance for the particular machine being shipped.
Ask Qisheng for a written quotation covering mast, forks, tires, attachments, inspection scope, spare-parts support and shipping terms. This sourcing and export enquiry should establish what is included in the price and which configuration is being supplied, without assuming stock or a fixed delivery period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the single-cylinder economy forklift?
No. It is the 2500 kg configuration from the heavy internal-combustion series. Specifications from the separate economy series are not mixed into this page.
Is 3935 kg the lifting capacity?
No. It is the listed truck weight. Rated load is listed separately as 2500 kg at a 500 mm load center.
What fork length is listed?
1070 mm, with a 40 × 122 mm fork section. Confirm the actual supplied forks against your load and pallet requirements.
Is it suitable for a closed warehouse?
Do not assume diesel exhaust is acceptable indoors. Ventilation, exposure and site rules require assessment; compare an electric forklift where appropriate.
Can you quote another mast or engine?
Describe the required configuration and destination. Availability, revised dimensions, capacity and supporting documents need confirmation before an alternative is included.
Request a Configuration-Specific Quotation
Send maximum cargo weight, cargo dimensions, lift height, aisle and doorway measurements, work surface, duty hours, quantity and delivery destination. For electric trucks, include your electrical supply and charging arrangements.
