3500 kg diesel capacity for heavier industrial pallets
This 3.5 ton diesel forklift uses the 3500 kg configuration from the referenced heavy internal-combustion series. It lists a 500 mm load center, 3000 mm lift height, 1220 mm overall width and 4500 kg machine weight. It is a conventional industrial forklift, not the separate four-wheel-drive rough-terrain model.
- 3500 kg rated load at 500 mm load center
- 1220 mm listed fork length
- 3000 mm listed lift height
- 4500 kg listed truck weight

A Heavy Duty Forklift Comparison for Industrial Loads
Compare this model where the required lifting case exceeds that of a smaller counterbalance truck. Receiving heavier palletized components, loading vehicles and transferring industrial stock are possible buying contexts, provided the surface, maneuvering space and verified capacity suit the operation.
The 3500 kg rating is specified at a 500 mm load center. It should not be assumed to cover a long load, an offset center of gravity or an attachment at every height. Send the largest regular cargo dimensions and the intended rack or loading height so the supplied capacity plate can be checked.
Compare Dimensions and Forks Before Increasing Capacity
The listed fork section is 45 × 122 mm with 1220 mm length. Compare the fork arrangement with cargo support and pallet openings. A clamp, fork positioner or unusually long fork changes more than the headline equipment list; mounting, weight and allowable capacity need confirmation.
The source lists 1220 mm width, 2693 mm length without forks and a 1770 mm wheelbase. The stated turning radius is 2390 mm, but that figure does not establish a safe stacking aisle. Compared with the 2.5 ton configuration, the wider body and heavier truck may affect route and floor suitability even when a turning-radius entry is the same.
Distinguish Industrial Diesel from Rough Terrain
Diesel power and a 3.5 ton rating do not establish four-wheel drive or off-road capability. This industrial configuration lists 135 mm mast ground clearance. Soft soil, ruts, cross-slopes and uneven construction access call for a separate assessment and potentially a purpose-built rough-terrain truck.
The listed 4500 kg truck weight also matters when checking docks, floors and loading areas. The source gives 2070 mm lowered mast height and 2160 mm overhead guard height; measure the complete supplied truck against doorways rather than relying on the lower of those two figures.
Request a Configuration-Specific Diesel Forklift Price
The reference engine designation is Quanchai V29-50V42. Ask for the actual engine sheet, rated power, maintenance requirements and destination documentation. This page does not convert a general certification badge into a compliance promise for every market.
For a comparable quotation, agree the engine, mast, fork dimensions, tires, attachment requirements, inspection records, parts scope and delivery destination. Qisheng Machinery can coordinate the sourcing and export enquiry; final availability, price and shipping schedule depend on the written configuration and terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a 4WD rough-terrain forklift?
No. This page covers the conventional industrial diesel configuration. The separately listed 3.5 ton rough-terrain model has different drive, load-center, clearance and weight specifications.
What is the listed lifting capacity?
3500 kg at a 500 mm load center. Check the supplied data plate for the intended height, mast, cargo geometry and attachments.
How much does the forklift itself weigh?
The referenced sheet lists 4500 kg machine weight, separate from the 3500 kg rated load. Request the actual supplied-unit weight for site and freight planning.
What are the listed fork dimensions?
45 × 122 × 1220 mm. Special forks or attachments require their own compatibility and capacity check.
Does a 2390 mm turning radius define the working aisle?
No. Include pallet dimensions, fork arrangement and operating clearance when checking the space needed to stack or load.
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.
