On April 19, FLIFT welcomed a long-term customer from Sydney, Australia, for a factory visit focused on our 10-ton side loader forklift. The client, a well-established manufacturer of prestressed concrete pipe piles, has been working with FLIFT for several years. Three years ago, they purchased two 10-ton side loaders from us, which have since been operating reliably in their production and logistics processes. This return visit marked another step in our ongoing partnership, as the customer confirmed a new order for an additional 10-ton side loader forklift.





During the visit, both teams held in-depth discussions on operational efficiency, safety improvements, and equipment customization. Based on their previous usage experience, the customer introduced several practical upgrades aimed at enhancing safety, durability, and operator comfort.

One of the key improvements involves the operator access system. The cabin entry pedal has been widened to 300mm, significantly improving stability and safety when entering and exiting the forklift. In addition, customized climbing ladders have been installed at both the front and rear of the truck, providing safer and more convenient access for both operators and maintenance personnel.

The hydraulic system has also been reinforced. The customer opted for a customized hydraulic lifting cylinder, designed to deliver stronger and more stable lifting performance under heavy-duty working conditions. This enhancement ensures the forklift can handle long and heavy pipe piles more efficiently.

In terms of operator comfort, the forklift is equipped with both air conditioning and a fan system, ensuring a more pleasant working environment in varying weather conditions. For power performance, the customer selected a Cummins engine rated at 92kW. Compared to the previously used ISUZU 6BG1 engine, this turbocharged engine offers stronger power output while maintaining better fuel efficiency, making it more suitable for demanding industrial applications.





Another notable modification is the repositioning of the starting battery. In this new configuration, the battery is installed beneath the engine, allowing easier access for inspection, replacement, and maintenance. This adjustment reflects the customer’s focus on long-term serviceability.

To further improve operational safety, the height of the protective guardrails on the forklift platform has been increased to one meter, offering better protection for transported goods. Additionally, high-definition cameras have been installed on the front, rear, and sides of the forklift, with a display screen integrated inside the cabin. This provides the operator with a clearer, more comprehensive view of the surroundings, significantly reducing blind spots and enhancing safety during operation.

This latest order not only demonstrates the customer’s continued trust in FLIFT’s products but also highlights our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet evolving industrial needs.
