Brand: DOOSAN (斗山) – A leading South Korean construction machinery brand with over 120 years of history, ranking among the top 5 in the global construction machinery market share. DOOSAN heavy-duty forklifts account for 22% of the 10-20 ton segment market share in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa, with a service network covering 160+ countries (including 280+ authorized service centers and 8 regional parts warehouses in emerging markets). The brand’s
high-power diesel engine technology and
robust hydraulic system are renowned for their adaptability to harsh working conditions, making its equipment a preferred choice for port bulk cargo handling, steel plant material transfer and mining area auxiliary operations in high-load scenarios.
Model: DOOSAN D160S-5 – A 16-ton class heavy-duty counterbalanced diesel forklift, a core model of DOOSAN’s PRO 5 series optimized for heavy-load material handling scenarios such as port container loading/unloading, steel plant coil handling and large-scale warehouse heavy cargo stacking. It is equipped with a DOOSAN DL06K high-power diesel engine (103kW rated power) and a guided hydraulic control valve system, with a rated load of 16000kg, a standard lift height of 3000mm and an electronically controlled automatic transmission. It meets EU Stage IIIA emission standards, and has been widely used in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia for its high load capacity and stable operation.
The D160S-5 is equipped with a DOOSAN DL06K 6-cylinder diesel engine (103kW rated power at 2100rpm), adopting high-pressure common rail fuel injection technology:
- Strong Power Output: The engine delivers sufficient torque for heavy-load operations, easily handling 16-ton cargo such as steel coils and container bulk goods, with a maximum climbing capacity of 20% to adapt to uneven ground in ports and steel plants.
- Low Emission & Fuel Efficiency: It meets EU Stage IIIA emission standards, eliminating the need for additional emission modification for customs clearance in most emerging markets. The optimized fuel injection system reduces fuel consumption by 15% compared with peers in the same tonnage class, suitable for high-frequency heavy-load operations.
- Durable Design: The engine is equipped with a double-layer air filter and oil-water separation fuel filter, effectively blocking dust and impurities in port and steel plant environments, extending the engine’s service life to 15,000 hours—30% longer than the industry average.
Paired with a guided hydraulic control valve and control lever system, the D160S-5 achieves smooth and accurate lifting and tilting operations:
- High Load-Bearing Capacity: The hydraulic system has a maximum lifting pressure of 210bar, ensuring stable lifting of 16-ton loads without pressure drop, and the standard lift height of 3000mm meets the stacking needs of high shelves and container cargo handling.
- Flexible Operation: The hydraulic control lever adopts a humanized design, with sensitive and smooth operation, and the forward/backward tilt angle of the fork can be adjusted according to cargo types, adapting to the handling of irregular heavy cargo such as steel coils and cement blocks.
- Low Failure Rate: The hydraulic components use imported seals and wear-resistant materials, with a service life of up to 8,000 hours, and the modular design allows for quick replacement of parts in remote overseas sites.
The D160S-5 is equipped with a full pneumatic braking system and an integrated operator dashboard, ensuring operational safety in heavy-load scenarios:
- Comprehensive Safety Protection: The full pneumatic braking system has a short braking distance and stable performance, even in wet and slippery port environments, effectively avoiding collision accidents. The optional tiltable operator cabin (with/without cab) provides a wide field of vision, and the FOPS-certified overhead guard protects the operator from falling objects.
- Intelligent Operation Monitoring: The integrated dashboard displays real-time data such as engine speed, hydraulic pressure and fuel consumption, allowing the operator to grasp the equipment status at any time and reduce the risk of failure during heavy-load operations.
- Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission: The electronically controlled automatic transmission simplifies operation steps, reduces operator fatigue during long-hour shifts, and adapts to frequent start-stop operations in port and steel plant scenarios.
The D160S-5 adopts a high-strength steel frame and a robust planetary gear drive shaft, ensuring structural durability in harsh working conditions:
- Heavy-Duty Chassis: The reinforced chassis and large-diameter tires adapt to the uneven ground in ports and mining areas, with a tire load capacity of up to 18 tons, and the anti-corrosion paint on the body resists salt spray corrosion in coastal port environments and chemical corrosion in steel plants.
- Easy Maintenance: Daily maintenance points such as engine oil, hydraulic oil and air filter are centrally arranged, cutting maintenance time by 25%. Common spare parts (filters, brake pads, hydraulic hoses) are available in DOOSAN’s regional warehouses in Dubai, Johannesburg and Singapore, with a delivery time of 5-10 days.
