LIFT KING RT60 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Lift King RT60 is a rough terrain forklift engineered for demanding material handling operations in challenging environments. This 6,000-pound capacity machine features a Perkins 1104C-44 diesel engine producing 82 horsepower, delivering reliable power for continuous job site use. The mast system achieves a lift speed of 91 feet per minute with a 24-inch load center, accommodating standard pallet configurations. The mast offers impressive versatility with 45-degree forward tilt and 10-degree rear tilt capabilities, enabling operators to securely handle and position loads at various angles. The RT60's compact dimensions make it well-suited for confined spaces despite its robust capabilities. With an overall width of 7.4 feet and a 7.8-foot wheelbase, the machine maintains excellent maneuverability while the 11.5-inch ground clearance handles rough terrain effectively. The overhead guard height of 8.2 feet and 12.5-foot reach to the fork face provide adequate operational clearance in most work environments. Performance specifications emphasize versatility and control in off-road conditions. The machine travels at a maximum speed of 18 miles per hour and features a four-wheel drive configuration with dual steering axles. The tire setup—15.5x25 drive tires and 14x17.5 steer tires—provides traction and durability for unprepared surfaces, quarries, construction sites, and similar applications. Meeting ANSI B56.6b safety standards, the RT60 incorporates a one-piece frame for optimum structural integrity and includes oil-cooled submerged disc brakes with manual dry-disc backup systems, ensuring reliable stopping power in all conditions.
