# Lifting Height of Rough Terrain Forklifts and Selection Recommendations

1. Lifting height of standard rough terrain forklifts Compact/small rough terrain forklifts: lifting height of 3 m to 4.5 m, suitable for rugged terrain or light-duty operations, such as agriculture and construction sites. Medium rough terrain forklifts: lifting height of 4 m to 5 m, commonly used in logistics, mining, or forestry, able to achieve a balance between load and stability. Large/heavy-duty rough terrain forklifts: lifting height of 5 m to 6 m (or even higher), used for heavy material handling, such as ports and large engineering projects. 2. Key factors affecting lifting height Stability requirements: rough terrain forklifts need to adapt to uneven ground, and lifting too high may reduce stability, so their height is usually lower than that of indoor forklifts (for example, warehouse forklifts can reach more than 10 m). Mast design: some models are equipped with two-stage or three-stage masts, which can extend the lifting range. Load capacity: lifting height is inversely proportional to rated load (for example, when lifting to 6 m, the load may be reduced). 3. Selection recommendations Clarify requirements: choose the appropriate lifting height according to the working scenario (such as stacking height and terrain). Safety first: in rough terrain environments, it is necessary to balance lifting height and stability, and add counterweights or stabilizers when necessary. Reference parameters: consult the "maximum lifting height" (unladen) and "load center distance" data of the specific model.
