Equipped with solid tires in front (200/50-10) and rear (15x4.5-8) configurations, this electric forklift demonstrates excellent gradeability of 13% when loaded and 15% unladen, making it suitable for inclined surfaces. The triplex mast with full-free lift visibility enhances operator sightlines during load manipulation. Weighing 3,470 kg in service, the ME 320 features an oil bath service brake for reliable stopping power and operates efficiently at 4.70 kWh/h according to VDI cycle standards. The seated operator position provides comfort during extended shifts, while the machine's all-terrain design and robust construction make it exceptionally durable for construction sites, agricultural operations, and industrial facilities requiring dependable indoor/outdoor material handling solutions.
