3 Ton Diesel Forklift for General Industrial & Warehouse Handling: CPC30-K
The CPC30-K is designed for operations that have moved beyond the typical 2–2.5 ton handling range but do not require a heavy-duty 5 ton forklift. With a 3,000 kg rated capacity and 500 mm load center, it provides a practical balance between lifting capacity and maneuverability for warehouses, workshops and logistics operations.

Technical Specifications
When 3 Tons Is Enough
Forklift capacity should be selected according to the heaviest regular load, not simply the largest forklift available. If most loads are comfortably below 3 tons and the operation does not require the larger footprint of a heavy-duty machine, a 3-ton forklift can provide a more practical balance.Always confirm load weight, load center and required lifting height before ordering.
Rated Capacity at a 500 mm Load Center
The CPC30-K is rated at 3,000 kg with a 500 mm load center. If your loads are unusually long, tall or irregularly shaped, the actual center of gravity may move forward and affect the available lifting capacity.
Send us your load dimensions if you are unsure whether 3 tons is sufficient.
3,000 mm Standard Lift for Warehouse & Workshop Operations
The standard 3,000 mm lift height covers many pallet storage and production-handling applications. The CPC30-K has a listed lowered mast height of 2,070 mm and extended mast height of 4,065 mm, so overhead clearance should be checked against the actual working area.

A More Manageable Size for Mixed Work Areas
A 3-ton forklift does not need the same physical footprint as a 5-ton machine. With a listed overall width of 1,240 mm and outside turning radius of 2,600 mm, the CPC30-K is positioned for operations where both capacity and maneuverability matter.
39 kW Diesel Power for the 3 Ton Class
The CPC30-K uses a QC490BPG diesel engine rated at 39 kW. The 4-cylinder, 2,540 cc engine configuration is matched to the forklift's 3-ton load class and intended for regular industrial material handling.

Typical Applications
Medium-Sized Warehouses
Palletized raw materials,finished goods,household appliance components.
Automotive Workshops
Engine cylinders, metal components, and other medium-sized parts.
Logistics Hubs
Suitable for loading and unloading palletized goods within a 1–3 T range.
Manufacturing Workshops
Used for production line turnover, raw material handling, and finished product transfer.
Building Materials
Suitable for medium-sized building materials such as steel components and glass curtain wall parts.
Why Diesel for Medium-Load Operations?
Diesel power is practical for frequent material handling where the forklift moves between warehouses, workshops and loading areas. Refueling also removes the need to schedule battery charging during continuous operations.
Frequent handling
Indoor-outdoor flexibility
No battery charging infrastructure
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3 ton diesel forklift used for?
+
-
It is commonly used for medium-load material handling in warehouses, manufacturing workshops, logistics facilities and building-material operations.
Is a 3 ton forklift suitable for warehouse use?
+
-
It can be suitable when regular loads are within the 3,000 kg rated capacity and the required load center and lift height match the forklift specification.
Why choose a 3 ton forklift instead of a 2.5 ton model?
+
-
A 3-ton model provides an additional 500 kg of rated capacity for operations where some loads exceed the practical range of a 2.5-ton forklift.
Why choose 3 tons instead of 5 tons?
+
-
The 3-ton model has a smaller overall footprint and lower service weight, making it more practical when 5-ton capacity is not required.
What is the load center of the CPC30-K?
+
-
The listed load center is 500 mm.
What is the turning radius?
+
-
The listed outside turning radius is 2,600 mm.
What information should I provide before ordering?
+
-
Provide the maximum load weight, load dimensions, load center, required lift height, working surface and indoor/outdoor operating conditions.
Is a 3 Ton Forklift the Right Capacity for Your Operation?
Send us your maximum load weight, load dimensions, required lifting height and working environment. We can help confirm whether the CPC30-K is suitable or whether a different capacity would be a better fit.
