Category B2 covers heavier-duty counterbalance forklift trucks designed for more demanding lifting and load handling applications from 5 to 10 metric tonnes.
These more robust lift trucks utilise larger rear-mounted counterweights to provide stability when lifting substantial loads on the front carriage and forks.
Key features of category B2 counterbalance forklifts:
With their extra power, stability and robustness, category B2 counterbalance forklifts readily take on more strenuous lifting, shifting and stacking applications. This makes them well-suited to environments like construction sites, mining, timber mills, and other heavy industries.
Provide high torque and horsepower outputs required to reliably lift up to 10 tonnes.
With even weight distribution on the forks, B2 trucks can safely handle 5 to 10 tonne loads. Their masts, carriages and other load-bearing components are reinforced.
Category B2 masts extend well over 5 metres when upright to facilitate high stacking of heavy loads on racks and shelving.
Loaded travel speeds are reduced to under 20 km/h for secure handling of heavier loads during transport. Unloaded speeds up to 25 km/h.
