Hangcha Australia's rough terrain forklifts are built for Australia's toughest outdoor sites, with capacities from 1.5 to 10.0 tonnes and lift heights up to 7,000 mm across the range. Choose a 4WD model with high clearance axles, full floating hydraulic transmission and a 2WD/4WD switch for soft ground, slopes and frequent off road work where traction and climbing ability matter most. Choose a 2WD model for mixed yards and flatter surfaces, where its tighter turning radius and lower running costs make it the more practical option, with 270 mm of ground clearance to handle uneven surfaces. Talk to our support team for a recommendation based on your terrain, slope, load and lift height.

We provide premium rough terrain forklifts that are independently developed and constructed for the Australian market. The range covers two drive types — 4WD for the hardest ground and 2WD for mixed yards — with capacities from 1.5 to 10.0 tonnes and lift heights up to 7,000 mm.
Designed for harsh outdoor conditions, the 4WD rough terrain models come with an internal-combustion engine and high-clearance axles. With the 2WD/4WD switch function and full-floating hydraulic transmission, the 4WD rough terrain forklift has strong hill-climb ability, suitable for construction, timber yards and other tough working environments.
A great choice for mixed surfaces like yards and open-air factories. The 2WD rough terrain model delivers strong lifting with a tighter turning radius and lower running costs. With 270 mm ground clearance and well-distributed weight, it provides good manoeuvrability and excellent stability.
| Model | Load Capacity | Lift Height | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5–1.8t Four-Wheel Drive | 1,500–1,800 kg | 3,000–6,000 mm | 4WD, Diesel |
| 2.5–3.5t Four-Wheel Drive | 2,500–3,500 kg | 2,700–6,500 mm | 4WD, Diesel |
| 2.5–3.5t Two-Wheel Drive (High Performance) | 2,500–3,500 kg | 3,000–6,000 mm | 2WD, Diesel |
| 2.5–3.5t Two-Wheel Drive | 2,500–3,500 kg | 3,000–6,000 mm | 2WD, Diesel |
| 5.0–10t 2WD & 4WD | 5,000–10,000 kg | 3,000–7,000 mm | 2WD/4WD, Diesel |
For soft, wet, loose or muddy ground, choose 4WD for traction across all four wheels. For firm, mostly sealed or compacted surfaces, 2WD with 270 mm clearance is usually enough. As a rule, if more than about 30% of working time is on broken or off-road ground, go 4WD.
For ramps, uneven access points or frequent hill-climb work, choose 4WD for climbing grip. For flat to mild slopes on stable ground, 2WD handles it at lower running cost.
Match the model to the actual load weight and required lift height. For loads up to 5.0 t in mixed yards, a 2WD model is usually sufficient; above 5.0 t, move to the 5.0–10t 2WD & 4WD model. Residual capacity drops as the mast extends, so size up rather than running a model at the top of its range.
| Your site / job | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Soft/wet ground, frequent off-road, loads to 3.5 t | 2.5–3.5t 4WD |
| Mostly sealed yard, tight turning, loads to 3.5 t | 2.5–3.5t 2WD |
| Light loads to 1.8 t, rough access, smaller site | 1.5–1.8t 4WD |
| Heavy loads to 10 t, wide off-road site, steep ramps | 5.0–10t 2WD & 4WD |
