FD280 Container Handler 28 Ton Heavy Lift Forklift Truck For Port Yard

• Reliable Weichai Turbocharged Power: WD10 series turbocharged diesel engine delivers strong torque and low fuel consumption for high-efficiency 28-ton duty.
• Heavy Duty Box-Type Frame: Reinforced frame verified through 3D finite element analysis with non-destructive testing of main welds for improved stability.
• Reinforced Hub Reduction Axle: High-strength axle case and hub reduction design carry 28,000 kg loads with excellent stability and reliability.
• Full-Hydraulic Steering: Transverse oil cylinder steering bridge provides flexible, light, and reliable steering even under maximum load.
• Four Caliper Disc Brakes: Thickened discs and rear air tank ensure stable braking and fast heat dissipation when fully loaded.
• Pilot Valve Control: System raises working efficiency and reduces driver labor intensity.
• Independent Cooling: Separate transmission oil and hydraulic oil cooling maintains system stability in demanding conditions.
• Comfortable Cab: Air-conditioned cab with rupture membrane, heat and sound insulation, sunroof, and damping seat keeps operators productive.

The FD280 is specified for container handler duty, yard stacking, empty container repositioning, and heavy cargo shuttling in ports. Its 28,000 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, providing operational flexibility and reducing dependency on shared lifting equipment.

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 box-type frames, masts, and axle packages in-house, with every heavy-duty forklift passing load tests and inspections before shipment. We supply 16-ton to 40-ton heavy lift forklifts to more than 60 countries, supported by comprehensive documentation, shipping coordination, spare parts, and technical advice.

With over twenty years of manufacturing heavy-duty material handling equipment, our factory has delivered thousands of 28-ton class machines to 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 FD280 undergoes static and dynamic load testing, brake testing, and functional hydraulic checks to ensure field reliability.

A South American port yard added the FD280 to its container handling fleet to cover peak season surges. The machine stacked and repositioned 40ft boxes through long shifts, with its independent cooling circuit maintaining performance in coastal humidity. Peak season throughput rose by 19 percent without additional labor.

Our engineers match mast, fork, axle, and cooling options to specific duty cycles and site constraints, ensuring optimal performance from day one rather than requiring retrofitting later.

Every FD280 is prepared for ocean freight with corrosion protection, secured fixings, and partial disassembly for flat rack container loading when required. Documentation includes operation manuals, spare parts catalogues, and warranty statements. The forklift carries a 12-month or 2000-hour warranty on major components, supported by overseas spare parts channels and remote technical help. For fleet owners, we offer scheduled maintenance plans and operator training to maintain equipment availability and safety throughout the service life.
