What does moving heavy loads mean?
Moving heavy loads requires specially designed transport equipment. Think forklifts, stackers or customized solutions designed for high weights and intensive use. Where a standard pallet truck often stops at 2,500 kg, we provide solutions suitable for loads up to 16 tons and above.
This is crucial in industries such as:
- Metal and steel industry: coils, plates and structural parts.
- Construction and infrastructure: concrete blocks, precast elements.
- Automotive and mechanical engineering: engine blocks, parts, dies.
- Logistics and distribution: heavily loaded pallets and containers.
Each sector requires specific applications, and for that we offer a wide and flexible range.

Why choose the right lift truck for heavy loads?
Using the right forklift or warehouse truck when moving heavy goods has several advantages:
- Safety: heavy objects are lifted in a stable and controlled manner, minimizing risks to personnel and the environment.
- Efficiency: moving is faster and takes less manpower than manual lifting or sliding.
- Sustainability: robust machines can withstand heavy loads and last longer.
- Productivity: less downtime and less chance of damage to goods.
The wrong choice can lead to unsafe situations and high maintenance costs. This is why good advice is essential.

Key specifications to consider
When choosing the right heavy-duty lift truck, there are a number of factors that determine whether the machine is right for your application:
- Carrying capacity: what is the maximum weight to be moved?
- Lifting height: to what height should the loads be stacked or placed?
- Stability: extra-wide axles or counterweight systems ensure safe balance.
- Agility: Even with large forklifts, maneuverability in tight spaces is important.
- Maintenance and sustainability: robust components and long maintenance intervals save costs.
By properly determining the loads and conditions at play in advance, you will avoid downtime and overload.
