Recently, STMA, a leading global manufacturer of industrial vehicles, officially launched its flagship product—the all-new STMA 16tonne diesel forklift truck—to the global market. The advent of this product not only signifies a new height in STMA's technological strength in the field of ultra-heavy-duty forklifts, but also provides safer, more efficient, and intelligent material handling solutions for industries requiring the handling of extremely heavy loads, such as ports, heavy manufacturing, steel, large-scale infrastructure, and logistics hubs.

Powerful and Stable as a Mountain：

When facing massive loads often exceeding ten tons, stability and strength are paramount. The STMA 16-ton forklift is equipped with a custom-designed, high-efficiency electronically controlled diesel engine, delivering powerful yet smooth power output, ensuring excellent climbing ability and travel speed even under full load. Its advanced hydraulic system, precisely tuned, achieves ultimate smoothness and precise control during lifting, effectively protecting cargo safety and reducing impact. The reinforced mast, axles, and chassis structure, combined with ultra-wide tires, endow the equipment with unparalleled stability and durability, enabling it to operate with ease even in complex and demanding site conditions.

Intelligent Control, Safety First

Beyond traditional "power-oriented" designs, STMA deeply integrates intelligent technology into this heavy-duty forklift. The standard advanced human-machine interface allows for real-time monitoring of equipment status, fuel consumption, load, and maintenance information. The integrated intelligent safety system includes a panoramic monitoring camera, ultrasonic radar obstacle detection, automatic load torque display and limiting, and tilt warning, greatly expanding the operator's field of vision, proactively preventing potential risks, and building a comprehensive safety barrier for personnel and equipment. The ergonomically designed new cab provides a wide field of vision, a low-noise environment, and an adjustable suspended seat, significantly reducing fatigue during long hours of operation and improving operational accuracy and comfort.

Green and Efficient, Outstanding Value Throughout the Life Cycle

While pursuing powerful performance, the STMA 16-ton forklift actively responds to the global trend of sustainable development. Through advanced engine electronic control management technology and an energy recovery system, lower fuel consumption and emissions are achieved under the same operating conditions, helping customers significantly reduce operating costs. Modular design and easy-to-maintain layout reduce daily maintenance and downtime, while its excellent reliability and long service life ensure a high long-term return on customer investment.

Market Outlook and Application Scenarios

An STMA product manager stated, “The development of this 16-ton forklift is based on our deep understanding of the needs of customers in the heavy industry sector. It is not only a symbol of power but also a concentrated embodiment of STMA’s comprehensive technologies in intelligence, safety, and full lifecycle value. We believe it will redefine the operational standards for large, heavy material handling, helping customers improve logistics efficiency and ensure operational safety.”

This model is expected to be widely used in:

· Port terminals: Stacking empty containers and loading/unloading heavy equipment.

· Steel industry: Transferring steel coils, plates, and large ingots.

· Heavy machinery manufacturing: In-workshop handling of large parts and forming equipment.

· Large-scale infrastructure construction: Handling and installing precast bridge components and heavy pipeline materials.

Specialized Logistics and Warehousing: Handling overweight and oversized special goods.

With the full launch of the STMA 16ton heavy duty forklift, the global heavy duty material handling market will welcome a "heavyweight player" with both powerful performance and intelligent core, injecting strong momentum into the logistics upgrade and safe production of related industries.
