The FT4518: High-Reach Performance for Heavy Industry
When a standard forklift just can't reach high enough, you need a machine that combines serious vertical lift with heavy-duty stability. The FT4518 is designed exactly for these demanding scenarios. This 18-meter telehandler is a beast on construction sites and industrial yards, capable of lifting 4,500 kg and extending its boom to a massive 17.7 meters. It's not just about height; it's about maintaining control and safety when working at the limits. With a robust chassis and a powerful hydraulic system, this machine ensures that even at maximum extension, your load remains secure and manageable.
Key Advantages
Extreme Reach
With a maximum lifting height of 17.7 meters and a horizontal reach of 13 meters, you can place materials on high-rise structures or deep into building frames without moving the machine constantly.
Heavy Stability
Weighing in at 13,000 kg, this machine is solid. It features hydraulic outriggers (stabilizers) that deploy to provide a rock-solid base when lifting heavy loads at height, ensuring safety for the operator and the crew.
All-Terrain Capability
The 4WD / 4WS (Four-Wheel Drive / Steering) system allows it to navigate rough, muddy, or uneven construction sites with ease, while the 16-70R24 tires provide excellent traction.
Main Products & Technical Highlights
The FT4518 is powered by a reliable Yuchai or Cummins engine (Model 4108), delivering 110 kW of power. This ensures you have the torque needed for steep gradients (up to 35° gradeability) and fast cycle times.
Advanced Hydraulics
Equipped with a Rexroth-Le-Hydraulix system, offering smooth and precise boom movements.
Safety First
Features an electronic parking brake (EPB) and dry / wet service brakes for reliable stopping power in all conditions.
Operator Comfort
The cab is designed for visibility and comfort, reducing fatigue during long shifts.
