FD300 30 Ton Heavy Container Stacking Forklift Truck With Weichai 240hp Engine

Thirty tonnes is the point where loaded container handling becomes routine rather than marginal. The FD300 carries 30,000 kg at a 1250 mm load centre on a 5500 mm duplex mast, powered by a Weichai WD10 engine rated at 178 kW, which is the 240 hp figure operators recognise in tender documents. A Kessler drive axle, ZF style powershift transmission and 25 mm side plate frame form the structural spine, and the hydraulic system uses a load sensing pump with priority steering so mast speed is unaffected by steering demand. Cooling, filtration and service access are all specified for continuous three shift terminal operation.

• 30,000 kg Container Rating Rated to 30 tonnes at a 1250 mm load centre, comfortably covering dense loaded 20 ft boxes with the residual margin needed for four high stacking.
• 178 kW Weichai Engine The WD10 turbocharged six cylinder unit produces 178 kW and 1,000 Nm of torque, giving loaded gradeability of 25 percent on quay ramps.
• 5500 mm Duplex Mast Wide channel sections with 1800 mm free lift and a load sensing hydraulic system keep lifting speed constant from ground to full height.
• Kessler Axle and Powershift A Kessler planetary drive axle with wet disc brakes and a ZF style powershift transmission form a driveline proven in terminal fleets.
• Priority Steering Hydraulics A load sensing pump with priority steering valve means the mast still lifts at full speed while the wheel is turned, removing a common cause of slow cycles.
• Terminal Service Access Ground level filters, a lift up side panel and a central greasing block reduce a 250 hour service to under ninety minutes.

Container terminals handling dense import cargo, steel coil and billet logistics, heavy machinery ports and project cargo berths. This capacity class is the default for terminals that stack loaded 20 ft boxes four high and also need to lift out of gauge cargo onto flat racks without a second machine.

A terminal in Karachi stacking loaded 20 ft boxes four high moved from mixed 25 and 35 tonne trucks to a standardised fleet of FD300 units. Fleet availability rose from 88 to 95 percent, the number of distinct spare parts lines on the shelf fell by 40 percent, and average moves per hour increased from 31 to 36 across an eight hour shift.

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: What is residual capacity at 5500 mm?
Residual capacity at full height with a 1250 mm load centre is 25,600 kg, and the mast plate lists values at every 500 mm interval.

Q: Is a 40 ft spreader supported?
A telescopic 20 to 40 ft spreader can be fitted with derating to 22,000 kg at a 1600 mm load centre. A fixed 20 ft spreader retains higher capacity.

Q: How much fuel does it use?
Loaded container stacking consumes 17 to 21 litres per hour. Idle and light cargo duty drops to 12 to 14 litres per hour.

Q: What is the recommended service interval?
Engine oil and filters at 250 hours, hydraulic return filter at 500 hours, transmission oil at 1,000 hours and axle oil at 2,000 hours, with condition sampling recommended from the first year.

Q: How long is the warranty and what does it cover?
Twelve months or 2,000 hours covering frame, mast, transmission, drive axle and hydraulics. Extended coverage to 4,000 hours is available on request.

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.
