JUNGHEINRICH DFG 550S SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

The Jungheinrich DFG 550s is a powerful diesel-powered counterbalanced forklift engineered for demanding industrial applications and heavy-duty material handling operations. This 5-ton capacity machine delivers exceptional performance through its advanced hydrostatic drive system, which provides superior handling efficiency, rapid acceleration, and precise directional control—particularly advantageous for shuttle operations and loading bay tasks. The forklift is powered by a robust 1104C-44 diesel engine producing 82.5 horsepower at 2,200 rpm with a displacement of 268.6 cubic inches, ensuring reliable operation in continuous industrial environments. With a maximum load capacity of 5,000 kilograms (11,023 pounds) at a 600mm load center, the DFG 550s achieves impressive lifting speeds of 104.4 feet per minute and lowering speeds of 100.4 feet per minute, enabling efficient vertical material repositioning. The mast system provides a maximum lifting height of 5.55 meters (18.2 feet) with mast tilt capabilities of 6 degrees forward and 8 degrees rearward, offering versatile load positioning flexibility. Measuring 5.16 meters in length and 1.45 meters in width with an overall height of 2.64 meters when the mast is lowered, the DFG 550s maintains excellent dynamic stability through its extremely low center of gravity and high pivot steer axle design. The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 14 miles per hour and features a 9.2-foot turning radius, enabling maneuverability in confined warehouse spaces. With a fuel consumption rate of approximately 5 liters per hour and weighing 7,974 kilograms, the DFG 550s represents a reliable, fuel-efficient solution for demanding material handling applications.
