With a load capacity of 50,000 lbs at a 36-inch load center, this model is built for heavy-duty material handling in automotive and manufacturing environments. It features a robust PSI V8 5.7L LP engine delivering 147 hp at 2,500 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm, paired with a Dana Powershift transmission offering three forward and reverse speeds for smooth, responsive operation. The hydraulic system provides a main pump flow of 54 gpm and a maximum operating pressure of 2,500 psi, supporting efficient lifting and lowering cycles. The mast achieves a maximum lift speed of 20 ft/min and a lowering speed of 21 ft/min, with mast tip angles of 8 degrees forward and rear.
