Overview

The Hamech VD155P is engineered to move heavy loads with control and confidence while maintaining operator-friendly handling in busy yards and tight industrial aisles. Backed by a Deutz Turbo Diesel, this forklift combines proven German engineering with Hamech’s rugged chassis and mast design to deliver dependable torque, efficient fuel use, and smooth hydraulic performance. The 15,500-pound lift capacity gives you the headroom to handle dense materials, oversized pallets, and heavy components without pushing the machine to its limits. A compact collapsed height of 96 inches aids doorway and mezzanine access, while a tall 130-inch maximum lift height provides practical stacking and racking reach for industrial and manufacturing facilities. The wide 80-inch carriage enhances stability across the face of the load, and the integrated fork positioner and three-way hydraulics streamline daily operations, reducing manual steps and speeding changeover between tasks.

Condition

With 2,975 hours on a 2018 chassis, this used Hamech VD155P sits in the sweet spot for buyers seeking modern design and serviceable life remaining. In keeping with NLEQ’s reputation, the machine has been carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale. Our evaluation process focuses on powertrain response, hydraulic function, mast and carriage operation, and overall structural integrity to ensure the listing reflects the machine accurately. Buyers can expect a work-ready forklift represented with honest details and no surprises—ideal for companies that prioritize uptime and predictable performance.

Key Advantages and What They Mean for Your Operation

• Deutz Turbo Diesel: Deutz engines are known for strong low-end torque, efficient combustion, and a robust global support network. In practice, that means confident starts with heavy loads, steady power through the lift cycle, and competitive fuel economy that helps control your per-shift operating costs.
• Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacity: A 15,500-pound rating positions this forklift for serious industrial tasks—steel and metal stock, precast, large timbers and engineered lumber packs, heavy equipment components, molds, dies, and bulk materials. Working within capacity improves safety margins and reduces mechanical strain, extending service life.
• Double Mast: The double-stage mast blends compact collapsed height with practical lift range. At 96 inches down, clearance under door headers, mezzanines, and low structures is improved; at 130 inches up, you get ample headroom for loading, staging, and warehouse racking without overcomplicating the mast design.
• 80-Inch Wide Carriage: A broad carriage face helps distribute load forces and improve lateral stability, especially on wide or unevenly distributed palletized goods. It also enables better fork spread for large-format skids, crates, and custom fixtures.
• Fork Positioner: Adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat to match load width quickly and precisely. This reduces the time and labor spent manually moving forks, helps protect product by centering weight accurately, and lowers operator fatigue during frequent load changes.
• Three-Way Hydraulics: With three-function hydraulics, operators can run lift, tilt, and the fork positioner with smooth, proportional control. The net result is quicker cycle times, cleaner load engagement and placement, and improved productivity over the course of a shift.
• Operator Efficiency: The combination of engine torque, responsive hydraulics, and on-the-fly fork adjustments minimizes the stops and starts that slow throughput. Fewer ground interventions and more time on the seat translate to measurable output gains.

Applications and Industry Fit

With its heavy-capacity rating and wide carriage, this 2018 Hamech VD155P industrial forklift is built for demanding environments where load weight, size, or density exceed the capability of standard warehouse forklifts. Common applications include:

• Building Materials Yards: Handling dense masonry, precast concrete, engineered lumber packs, roofing bundles, and oversized pallets.
• Steel and Metal Fabrication: Moving bar stock, plate, coil, structural shapes, and fabricated assemblies with stable, controlled lifts.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Plants: Staging heavy tooling, dies, molds, and machinery components where precise fork positioning reduces risk.
• Equipment Dealers and Rental Yards: Loading/unloading machinery, attachments, and bulk shipments that require a confident, high-capacity lift.
• Ports, Rail, and Intermodal: Cross-docking heavy skids and crated goods where quick fork adjustability keeps cargo moving.
• Recycling and Waste Operations: Handling dense bales or compacted materials that demand a stout chassis and dependable hydraulics.

In all of these settings, the fork positioner and three-way hydraulics simplify load engagement. The compact collapsed mast height eases movement through doorways and under structures, while the tall lift height supports multi-tier stacking and staging. If your crews frequently switch between narrow pallets and wide skids, the hydraulic fork spread reduces downtime and helps prevent product damage.

Ownership Value

Buying a late-model, heavy-capacity industrial forklift is a strategic decision about total cost of ownership and uptime. This Hamech VD155P is powered by a Deutz turbo diesel, a brand favored for fuel efficiency and long service intervals. Strong low-RPM torque means fewer high-rev cycles to lift heavy loads, which can contribute to lower fuel burn and reduced wear. The mast and carriage specification are practical—no overcomplication—helping to keep maintenance straightforward and parts planning predictable. The wide carriage, fork positioner, and three-function hydraulics deliver day-one productivity without the need to source add-ons. Because the unit has under 3,000 hours, many buyers will find a favorable balance between acquisition cost and remaining service life, especially compared to new equipment pricing. The listing price of $27,850 adds to that value proposition, putting this forklift within reach for operations that need heavy-lift capability without tying up capital in new iron.
