Dual‑Fuel Flexibility

The Hangcha CPQYD35-XW22F’s advanced dual-fuel system enables seamless LPG/petrol switching on the fly, giving operators flexibility to choose the most cost-effective fuel for their operation. Its EPA/CARB-compliant Nissan K25 engine delivers over 90% energy efficiency and cuts fuel consumption by up to 10%, significantly reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

Ideal for Australian warehouses, distribution centres and outdoor yards, this 3.5-tonne dual-fuel forklift ensures continuous, eco-friendly performance and maximised uptime across a wide variety of material handling applications.

Enhanced Safety Features

Engineered to elevate forklift safety, the CPQYD35-XW22F features an industry-leading Operator Presence System (OPS) that locks out lift, tilt and travel the moment the operator leaves the seat, preventing unintended movement in busy warehouses or outdoor sites. It also includes Speed Reduction Above Free-Lift (SRAFL) to automatically limit travel speed at higher mast elevations for improved stability.

A seat-belt interlock with audible reminder enforces proper restraint usage, and a throttling device on the tilt cylinders prevents uncontrolled mast descent in the event of hydraulic failure. Rounding out its comprehensive safety package are an emergency power-off switch for rapid shutdown, a parking-brake interlock, a robust overhead guard with load backrest, and an ISO 3691-1/AS 2359-compliant design – ensuring safe, secure operation under all working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes dual fuel forklifts a smart choice for my business?

Dual fuel forklifts switch between LPG and petrol, offering flexibility and lower fuel costs. They emit less than diesel and work indoors or outdoors, making them a versatile, cost-effective option.

How long does a dual fuel forklift run on one fuel load?

A single LPG cylinder or petrol tank lasts a full shift or longer. Quick refueling options like cylinder swaps keep your operations moving with minimal downtime.

What maintenance is needed for a dual fuel forklift?

Dual fuel forklifts require simple checks on fuel systems and engines. LPG reduces wear compared to diesel, keeping maintenance low and reliability high.

Will I need to refuel a dual fuel forklift daily?

Not necessarily, refuel only when needed. Efficient fuel use and fast LPG swaps or petrol fills mean less frequent stops and more productivity.

Can dual fuel forklifts operate in all environments?

Definitely! LPG’s clean emissions suit indoor use with ventilation, while petrol powers outdoor tasks, offering flexibility across warehouses and yards.

How fuel-efficient are dual fuel forklifts?

LPG offers high energy efficiency, and smart engines cut fuel use. Switching fuels optimizes costs, making them economical for daily tasks.

How does the dual fuel system function?

The engine runs on LPG or petrol with an easy switch or auto-shift. This keeps operations smooth and adapts to fuel availability.

What environmental perks come with dual fuel forklifts?

Though not as environmentally friendly as electric forklifts, LPG forklifts cut emissions like particulates and carbon monoxide significantly. Efficient fuel use lowers your carbon footprint, supporting greener operations.
