Accurate Forklift sources inspected used 30,000 lb forklifts from East Point, serving Atlanta.
The 30,000 lb forklift — a full 15 tons — is a major heavy-industrial machine for extreme loads. Available units are listed below. This is a sourced, application-specific class, so call 770-692-1455 and ask for sales to discuss your requirements and availability.
Thirty thousand pounds is built for steel mills and service centers, port and intermodal container handling, large precast concrete, and heavy machinery and equipment movement. The 15-ton round number makes it a common heavy-fleet standard for major industrial operations. These are large diesel machines with very heavy counterweights, heavy-duty masts, and large pneumatic tires engineered for stability under extreme loads.
Lifting weight beyond the posted load center of the forklift reduces the total lifting capacity of the forklift. Be sure and let us know if you have any questions about load limits.
