You can also get a forklift truck with a two-wheel steer along with your coupler lift. It has a load capacity of 12,000 pounds and runs on a Perkins Diesel Engine -4 x 4 with an enclosed cab.

A3-speed power shift with electronic controls allows for smooth clutch engagement and quick direction changes or reversals when operating the lift handle.
