Overview

If you’re looking for an 18‑tonne forklift you can put straight to work, without paying Kalmar or Hyster money, this Maximal FD180‑T deserves your attention.

This is a genuine low‑hour heavy‑duty machine with just 1,029 hours since new — an exceptionally rare figure in this capacity class. Well maintained, crack‑tested, and fully optioned, it presents as a low‑wear alternative to much higher‑hour port or yard machines currently on the market.

Most forklifts in the 16–20 tonne class on the market today carry:

• 8,000–15,000+ hours
• Significant wear in pins, mast, driveline, engine and hydraulics
  

This unit offers a different value proposition:

✅ Extremely low hours
✅ Cummins powertrain
✅ Fully optioned and work‑ready
✅ Lower capital outlay than equivalent‑capacity major brands

If you value condition, remaining service life, and immediate productivity over a nameplate, this machine stacks up strongly.

Ideal Applications

• Steel & fabrication yards
• Timber & precast concrete handling
• Heavy manufacturing
• Ports, depots & industrial logistics
• Sites requiring high lift capacity with operator comfort

This forklift is priced to reflect:

• Its exceptionally low hours
• Its mine‑spec configuration
• Its ready‑to‑work condition

It is not a high‑hour, entry‑level 18‑tonner — and it’s priced accordingly.
