Applications & environments
These diesel forklifts are perfectly designed for challenging environments. Their high residual capacity and durable construction make them perfect for industries like freight handling, construction, brickworks, and metal processing.
Even on sloped or slippery surfaces, their solid pneumatic tyres and robust traction keep things moving with ease.
For dusty or dirt-heavy applications, such as mills or yards, optional dust-proof cooling systems and dual-element air filters protect the engine and reduce downtime, giving you more reliability with less maintenance.
Operator comfort
Despite their toughness, the DP-N3 models are designed with a light touch when it comes to the operator experience. Inside the cabin, you’ll find an adjustable full-suspension seat, spacious layout, generous legroom, and excellent visibility, all helping reduce operator fatigue, boost productivity and ensure safety.
With optional deluxe cabins available for all-weather protection, complete with heating, insulation, and sliding windows, your operators will be kept comfortable throughout their working day. For operations that need precision, fingertip hydraulic controls are available to give the operator smooth, intuitive control.
Diesel power that performs
The DP-N3 is powered by a Stage V-compliant diesel engine with electronically controlled common rail injection. This allows each cylinder to run at maximum efficiency, delivering consistent torque, low emissions, and improved fuel economy.
These forklifts also feature full-floating powerlines and rotary fuel pumps that make maintenance simple and protect engine performance. With low noise and vibration levels, your operators get a quieter, smoother ride without compromising power.
Smart safety & technology
Safety features on the DP-N3 come built-in as standard. The Presence Detection System automatically disables drive and hydraulic functions when the operator isn’t seated, helping prevent accidents and further increasing site safety.
LED lighting improves visibility, while a rear grab handle with horn adds comfort and safety during reversing. The onboard LCD display keeps the operator informed with real-time diagnostics and service alerts, helping you stay ahead of unscheduled downtime.
Easy maintenance, long-term value
Servicing the DP-N3 is fast and hassle-free. Engine hoods and floor panels remove easily, and all service points are easy to access.
Features like the high air intake and dual-element cyclone air filter help extend maintenance intervals, especially in harsh outdoor conditions. These, along with interchangeable parts and thoughtful engineering, ensure these forklifts are built to reduce operating costs and maximise uptime, year after year.
Customisable to your worksite
Whether you’re working on a tough construction site or a dusty outdoor yard, the DP-N3 can be tailored to fit your environment. Choose from a range of upgrades like wet disc brakes, elevated exhausts, heavy-duty cooling systems, and solid pneumatic tyres.
You can even kit it out with drive shaft protection, coolant level warnings, and more for total control over performance and durability.
