Below we address some of the most frequently asked questions regarding advantages, disadvantages, and performance of dual front tire diesel forklifts.



Advantages of Dual Front Tires on a Diesel Forklift

Increased Stability and Higher Load Capacity

Dual front tires significantly improve the forklift’s ground contact and stability.
This is especially helpful when operating on uneven roads, construction sites, lumber yards, or outdoor warehouses.

Yes, dual front tires directly enhance the forklift’s load capacity—especially at higher lifting heights.

For example:

The standard 3.5t diesle forklift with 5m mast, when lift up to the 5m height, the max.lift capacity is 2500kg,
if equip with the dual front tires can reach 2900kg, and more safter and stable.
With wider tire support, the forklift has a lower risk of tipping or instability, making it ideal for heavy-duty outdoor applications. 

In addition, due to this dual front tire design, it’s very suit for the longer material handling too.

Also Perfect for Paper Manufacturers Using Paper Roll Clamps.
Paper factories often use heavy-duty paper roll clamps to handle large rolls.
The dual front wheel design is especially suitable for this application because:

The wider tire support improves balance when clamping and rotating large paper rolls.The forklift can lift heavier rolls without losing control.
Overall working efficiency is clearly improved, especially during fast loading and unloading tasks.
This makes the FLIFT 3.5T dual front tire diesel forklift an ideal choice for paper mills and packaging companies.

 

Disadvantages of Dual Front Tires

Larger Turning Radius
Adding dual front wheels does increase the turning radius.This forklift needs more aisle space and is less suitable for narrow indoor warehouses.
So, it is recommended mainly for outdoor or open-space operations.

Slightly Higher Fuel Consumption
Because of the increased friction and weight, the fuel consumption increases by around:+0.5L per hour (approx.)
This is normal and expected for forklifts with reinforced stability systems.

What is the turning radius of the 3.5 ton FLIFT dual front tire diesel forklift?

The turning radius becomes slightly larger than the standard version. 
This is due to the wider front wheel configuration. For example,our standard 3.5t diesel forklift turning radius is 2600mm,
the front tire model is 28x9-15, after we strictly calculated that dual front tires turning radius is 2700mm.

If we equip with the customized double front wheels for the 3.5ton diesel forklift, can enhance the load capacity dramatically?

Regarding to the load capacity, certainly, add the dual front tire for the diesel forklift espacially. The load capacity distinctly stronger.
For Example, the standard 3.5t diesel forklift with 5m mast, when lift up to the 5m height, the max.lift capacity is 2500kg, if equip with the dual front tires can reach 2900kg, and more safter and stable.

Can we remove the dual tires and switch back to single tires?

Yes, it is possible to remove the dual front tires when you need to use the forklift in narrow spaces.
However, this process should be handled by a professional technician to ensure safety and correct installation.

The FLIFT 3.5 ton Dual Front Tire Diesel Forklift is a powerful, stable, and reliable machine designed for customers who need extra lifting performance and outdoor durability.
Although it requires more turning space and slightly more fuel, the benefits in stability, load capacity, and safety make it an excellent choice for many industries.
