LIFT KING RT50 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Lift King RT50 is a rough terrain forklift engineered for demanding applications across challenging environments including construction sites, timber markets, and stone quarries. This 4-wheel drive unit features a 1004C-44 diesel engine delivering 82 horsepower and operates at a maximum speed of 18 mph, providing reliable performance for intensive material handling operations. The forklift boasts a 5,000-pound load capacity with a 24-inch load center, supported by a full-floating hydraulic drive gearbox that enables seamless switching between 2WD and 4WD modes for enhanced traction and climbing ability across uneven terrain. Its compact dimensions include an overall width of 7.4 feet, length to fork face of 12.5 feet, and wheelbase of 7.8 feet, making it maneuverable in moderate spaces while maintaining stability. The mast system offers a lift speed of 113 feet per minute with a 45-degree forward tilt and 10-degree rear tilt capability, allowing optimal load positioning and control. With 11.5 inches of ground clearance and a low center of gravity, the RT50 excels in rough terrain applications, while the dual pneumatic tire configuration—15.5x25 for drive wheels and 14x17.5 for steering wheels—provides superior traction and flotation. Standing 8.2 feet to the top of the overhead guard, this unit meets current ANSI B56.6b safety standards and incorporates one-piece frame construction for maximum structural integrity, making it an ideal solution for operators requiring reliable performance in rugged, unpredictable working conditions.
