Diesel Forklift

The CPQD30-35T8 is the 3 to 3.5 tonne diesel forklift in ARAS’s MAX-8 series, built for the heavy, outdoor and mixed-duty work where an electric truck would struggle. For clean, indoor and multi-shift work, an electric forklift truck is usually the better fit. It is a straightforward, hard-wearing machine for yards, ports, building-material depots and any operation that loads and stacks in the open. If you are comparing it on price against other 3 to 3.5 tonne forklifts, running cost and uptime usually matter more than the sticker figure.

Mast and lift options. Lift heights run from 2.5 up to 6 metres, with wide-view two- and three-stage masts so the driver can see the forks and the load. Tilt is 6° forward and 12° back, which gives good control when you cradle a load on uneven ground.

Engine and build. It runs on a diesel engine, with gasoline also available, sized to pull full loads without bogging down, and the chassis and running gear are reinforced for continuous duty. In the UAE that matters: heat, dust and rough yard surfaces wear out a lightly built truck quickly, and this one is made to keep going.

Manoeuvrability. The turning radius is kept tight for a truck of this size, so it still works in a busy yard or loading bay without constant shunting back and forth.

Onboard diagnostics flag faults early and the components are chosen to take a beating, so you spend less time waiting on repairs and more time moving loads.

Where it fits. The CPQD30-35T8 suits warehousing and logistics for palletised goods, manufacturing sites moving heavy raw material, retail distribution at busy loading docks, and outdoor work where ground clearance and tough tyres earn their keep on uneven surfaces. It is a genuine all-rounder for the heavier end of forklift work.

What you get. Strong lift speeds and engine power for real productivity, ergonomics that keep the driver comfortable through a full shift, and fuel-efficient, durable mechanicals that hold down the total cost of ownership. We can also configure the mast, tyres and attachments to match how you actually work rather than selling you a one-size truck.
