The 5T diesel forklift is a heavy-duty industrial truck rated to lift 5,000 kg (5 tons), designed for demanding material handling in warehouses, ports, construction sites, and logistics operations. MAIHUI manufactures the 5T diesel forklift as part of its CPC30/35/40/50 series, powered by a reliable diesel engine with a standard 3000 mm lift height and options up to 6000 mm.
Guangdong Maihui Machine Co., Ltd. has produced logistics and material-handling machinery since 1956, exports to more than 160 countries, and holds over 300 patented designs. Below you'll find the complete 5 ton forklift specifications, key features, and guidance on choosing the right model.
A 5T diesel forklift is a counterbalanced forklift powered by a diesel engine and rated to lift a maximum load of 5,000 kilograms (5 tons) at a standard load center of 500–600 mm. It is built for heavy, high-frequency lifting in outdoor and industrial environments where electric models may lack the power or runtime required.
The MAIHUI 5T model (CPC50) is available in two configurations: an economic version and a standard diesel version, giving buyers flexibility on budget and performance.

Hydraulic transmission option: Smooth control and durability for continuous, heavy-duty cycles.
Certified quality: Built by an ISO9001-certified manufacturer with TÜV GS/CE-certified products.
The MAIHUI CPC series spans 1.5 to 5 tons, so the right model depends on your typical load weight and duty cycle:
Choose the 5T (CPC50) if you routinely lift loads near 4,000–5,000 kg, work on inclines, or need maximum traction and travel speed.
Choose the 3T–4T (CPC30/35/40) if your loads are lighter, aisles are tighter, or you want a smaller turning radius and lower operating weight.
Choose the 1.5T–2.5T (CPC15/20/25) for lighter warehouse and indoor-to-outdoor tasks where a compact footprint matters most.
As a general rule, match the forklift's rated load to your heaviest routine lift plus a safety margin, rather than the absolute maximum you handle.
