Frequently Asked Questions — High‑Capacity Cushion Tire Forklifts (15,000 lb+)

What is a high‑capacity cushion tire forklift?

A heavy‑duty indoor forklift built for extreme‑weight lifting on smooth concrete, typically used in steel mills, paper mills, foundries, and industrial manufacturing.

What capacities are available in this category?

Most high‑capacity cushion tire forklifts range from 15,000–40,000 lb, with some specialty units exceeding 60,000 lb depending on the manufacturer.

Are these forklifts better in LPG or diesel?

LPG is preferred for indoor air quality and multi‑shift operations.

Diesel delivers maximum torque for extreme‑duty loads and high‑heat environments.
