FD250 25 Ton Container Handling Forklift Truck With Weichai Turbo Diesel Engine

The FD250 is the volume model in the heavy lift range for good reason: 25,000 kg at a 1220 mm load centre covers loaded 20 ft containers, bundled steel, machinery skids and most project cargo, and it does so with a mechanical simplicity that fleets can maintain. A Weichai WD10G220E21 turbocharged diesel delivers 162 kW into a hydraulic powershift transmission and a planetary reduction drive axle with wet disc brakes. The 4000 mm two stage mast keeps the structure light enough to preserve payload while still reaching three high stacking with clearance. Painted structural steel, sealed harnesses and grouped service points support a fifteen year working life in a coastal yard.

• 25,000 kg at 1220 mm Rated to 25 tonnes at a 1220 mm load centre with published residual capacity through the full 4000 mm lift range.
• Weichai Turbo Diesel The WD10G220E21 six cylinder turbo engine delivers 162 kW and peak torque from 1400 rpm, giving strong loaded pulling power on ramps and gravel.
• Planetary Drive Axle Heavy duty planetary reduction with wet disc brakes handles the torque multiplication of loaded 25 tonne starts without half shaft stress.
• Three High Container Duty A 4000 mm mast with 1500 mm free lift reaches the third tier of a loaded container stack with the clearance margin terminal operators expect.
• Maintenance Simplicity Mechanical injection, a conventional powershift box and grouped filters mean routine service needs no specialist diagnostic tools.
• Reinforced Chassis A 20 mm side plate frame with cross bracing at the counterweight junction resists the torsional loads of offset container picks.

Loaded container stacking in mid size ports and dry ports, steel coil and plate logistics, precast concrete handling, and machinery transport inside industrial estates. Where a 20 tonne truck is marginal and a 30 tonne truck is over specified, this capacity class carries the load with margin and keeps attachment options open for spreaders, roll prongs and coil rams.

A steel and container logistics yard in Johor ran mixed cargo with two hired cranes and one small forklift. A single FD250 took over both container stacking and steel bundle handling, removing the crane hire cost entirely. The yard reported 4,100 hours in the first year with one unplanned stop, a hydraulic hose chafe that was traced to a missing guard and corrected under warranty.

Behind every unit sits an integrated heavy equipment plant with 86,000 square metres of floor space, 320 skilled staff and 18 years of continuous heavy lift production. The group runs its own structural steel shop, hydraulic test bench and paint line, so critical components never leave the facility for subcontracting. Export markets span Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe. CE and ISO certifications are renewed yearly, and a dedicated export documentation team handles flat rack loading and shipping compliance.

Two decades of heavy truck manufacturing feed into this build. The factory has produced more than 4,000 units above 12 tonnes, and the design has been refined through eleven generations of field feedback from port, steel and logistics customers. Critical welds are traced to individual certified operators, masts are overload tested at 125 percent, and finished trucks run a four hour loaded trial. Monthly warranty reviews feed directly into engineering change notices.

Q: Can this model use a container spreader?
Yes. A 20 ft fixed spreader, or a 20 to 40 ft telescopic spreader, can be mounted. With the telescopic unit the rating is derated to 18,000 kg at 1600 mm load centre.

Q: What is the fuel burn in container duty?
Expect 15 to 19 litres per hour in loaded container stacking, and 11 to 13 litres per hour in lighter general cargo work.

Q: Which engine alternatives are offered?
Weichai WD10G220E21 is standard. A Cummins or Yuchai equivalent can be specified where local service coverage favours those brands.

Q: How long does the mast last in container duty?
Mast rail wear of 1 mm typically occurs after 8,000 to 10,000 hours in loaded stacking. Replaceable wear strips are fitted so rails do not need refacing at the first service limit.

Q: What shipping configuration is used?
The unit ships on a 40 ft flat rack with the mast lowered to 3150 mm, forks removed, counterweight braced and hydraulic ports sealed against salt air.

Each unit is shipped on a flat rack container with the mast lowered and the counterweight braced, protected by heavy duty shrink wrap and timber blocking at all contact points. Standard delivery is 30 working days after deposit, with T/T and L/C accepted. The truck carries a 12 month or 2,000 hour warranty covering structural, hydraulic and driveline components, backed by a spare parts kit recommendation list and remote video commissioning support. Wear parts such as filters, seals and brake linings are stocked for immediate dispatch.
