25 Ton Steel Plant Heavy Duty Forklift Truck Handling Hot Steel Coils Safely
The FD250 25 Ton Steel Plant Heavy Duty Forklift Truck is engineered for the most demanding lifting duties in steel coil handling, slab and billet transport, hot rolled product staging, and mill service logistics. Rated at 25,000 kg at a 1250 mm load center, this heavy-duty forklift combines a Weichai WD10G240E21 turbocharged diesel engine with a ZL60 powershift transmission and reinforced hub reduction axle for stable, predictable performance shift after shift.
Key Features
- Reliable Weichai Turbocharged Power: WD10 series turbocharged diesel engine delivers strong torque and low fuel consumption
- Heavy Duty Box-Type Frame: Reinforced frame verified through 3D finite element analysis with non-destructive testing
- Reinforced Hub Reduction Axle: High-strength axle case and hub reduction design for excellent stability
- Full-Hydraulic Steering: Transverse oil cylinder steering bridge for flexible, reliable steering under maximum load
- Four Caliper Disc Brakes: Thickened discs with rear air tank for stable braking and fast heat dissipation
- Pilot Valve Control: Increases working efficiency and reduces driver labor intensity
- Independent Cooling: Separate transmission oil and hydraulic oil cooling for system stability
- Comfortable Cab: Air-conditioned cab with rupture membrane, heat/sound insulation, sunroof and damping seat

Applications
The FD250 is specified for steel coil handling, slab and billet transport, hot rolled product staging, and mill service logistics. Its 25,000 kg capacity, full-hydraulic steering and heavy duty chassis make it equally effective in continuous terminal cycles and in yard, mill or fabrication shop duty. The machine is also deployed for heavy cargo loading, oversized equipment movement and megaproject logistics where a crane would otherwise be required.
Company Strength
SLD is a specialist heavy lift forklift manufacturer with an integrated production base covering research and development, structural fabrication, assembly, testing and after-sales service. Our engineering team designs the box-type frame, mast and axle packages in-house, and every heavy duty forklift passes load testing and inspection before shipment. We supply 16 ton to 40 ton heavy lift forklifts to more than 60 countries.
Production Experience
Our factory has manufactured heavy duty material handling equipment for over twenty years, delivering thousands of 25 ton class machines into ports, steel plants, shipyards, timber yards and precast concrete facilities. Production follows a disciplined process including laser cutting, robotic welding, non-destructive testing, precision machining, and controlled assembly. Each FD250 undergoes comprehensive testing before shipment.
Case Solutions
A Turkish steel processing plant deployed the 25 ton heavy duty forklift with a coil ram to move hot rolled coils from the cooling area to the slitting line. Heat resistant guards and stable axle loading protected both the machine and the load, resulting in near-zero coil damage claims while matching line takt time without extra handling steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it carry a coil ram?
A: Yes, a coil ram or coil boom can be fitted for safe horizontal coil handling.
Q: How is the load protected from heat?
A: Heat shielding, high temperature hosing and thermal barriers protect hydraulics and tyres near hot product.
Q: What axle is used?
A: A reinforced heavy duty driven axle with hub reduction and a high strength axle case is standard.
Q: Is the braking system upgraded?
A: Yes, four heavy caliper disc brakes with a rear air tank provide stable braking when loaded.
Q: Do you supply spare coil rams?
A: We stock coil rams and attachments and can ship them with the machine or separately.
Packaging & Quality Assurance
Every FD250 is prepared for ocean freight with corrosion protection and secured fixings. Documentation includes operation manual, spare parts catalogue and warranty statement. The forklift carries a 12 month or 2000 hour warranty on major components, supported by overseas spare parts channels and remote technical help. Scheduled maintenance plans and operator training are also available.
