SLD FD280 28 Ton Heavy Duty Diesel Forklift Truck 3500mm Mast Weichai Engine

The SLD FD280 is a 28-tonne counterbalanced heavy-duty diesel forklift truck engineered for continuous, high-duty-cycle material handling in steel mills, precast concrete plants, and heavy machinery workshops. Powered by a Weichai WD10G240E21 turbocharged diesel engine and a hydraulic power-shift transmission, the FD280 combines high traction with energy-efficient operation. Manufactured by SLD in an ISO 9001:2015 and CE-certified facility, this truck is built on a reinforced box-type frame validated by 3D finite element analysis and non-destructive testing of all critical welds, ensuring the reliability that heavy industry depends on.

• Turbocharged Diesel Engine: Weichai (optional) turbocharged engine delivers powerful, fuel-efficient and emission-compliant performance for high-efficiency operation.
• Hydraulic Power-Shift Transmission: Double-turbine hydraulic torque converter with single-lever speed control for smooth, effortless gear changes.
• Reinforced Heavy-Duty Drive Axle: Hub reduction design with a high-strength axle case provides large load capacity, stability and reliability under full load.
• Full-Hydraulic Steering System: Transverse-cylinder steering bridge delivers light, precise and responsive steering for maneuvering in tight spaces.
• Four Heavy Caliper Disc Brakes: Thickened brake discs with a rear air tank offer stable, fast heat dissipation and dependable braking under heavy load.
• Double-Pump Hydraulic System: Convergent-flow design reduces system flow, lowers power consumption and ensures reliable, smooth lifting performance.
• Box-Type Frame Structure: Exquisite workmanship with 3D finite element analysis and non-destructive testing on critical welds for superior structural integrity.
• Comfortable Operator Cab: Air-conditioned cab with ROPS/FOPS protection, rupture membrane, heat insulation, sunroof and ergonomic suspension seat.

With more than a decade of focused heavy-lift manufacturing experience, SLD has continuously refined its box-type frame design, hydraulic power-shift transmission, and reinforced drive axle into a proven, field-tested platform. Our engineering team optimizes every powertrain and hydraulic system based on real-world feedback from thousands of units operating in demanding industrial environments, which is why SLD trucks deliver consistent uptime and a low total cost of ownership across their service life.

SLD FD280 trucks are widely deployed in steel and aluminum plants for coil and ingot handling, in precast concrete yards for moving heavy molds and finished panels, and in heavy machinery workshops for equipment repositioning. In one steel mill application, a fleet of FD280 units maintained 24/7 slab-handling duty with only routine maintenance, reducing material-handling downtime by more than 30% compared with the customer's previous fleet.
