The real story, however, may be the relative speed with which Shantui built the forklift line into a mature product category virtually overnight. In a short four years, it already makes a wellrounded different models with several variations within each model category. The machines range in size from 1.5-ton to 10-ton. They come in both electric and diesel versions. As with other products new to the company’s product offerings, Shantui provides the structural parts, while most of the other parts are bought from top brand name suppliers in China. The exception is the electronic controls, which are imported from Curtis in the USA. Several of the models are Tier III compliant, depending on engine or motor type. They all come with optional, optimal lift heights. Overall, the forklift line is another clear demonstration of Shantui’s unrivaled value proposition: high performance for exceptional value.
The SF50, SF60 and SF70 are five-,six- and seven-ton lifters, respectively.
They are diesel powered.
The engine and frame are mounted thru the shock block to isolate shock and enhance driver comfort.
