Operational Advantages

Each component on this LiftKing LK16M22 Straight Mast Forklift contributes to productive, predictable performance on real jobsites. For operations that prize uptime, simple maintenance, and stability under load, these features deliver clear advantages.

• Perkins Diesel Power: The Perkins diesel engine is widely regarded for its longevity, parts availability, and consistent torque delivery. Diesel power provides efficient fuel consumption under load and excellent low-end torque for smooth, controlled lifts and precise load placement.
• 2-Stage Mast: A 2-stage mast is inherently robust and offers clean sight lines to the forks for confident operation. Compared with taller multi-stage assemblies, the 2-stage design can reduce complexity and enhance mast rigidity, which translates to steady handling and predictable lifting behavior.
• 2WD Driveline: Two-wheel drive simplifies the drivetrain and lowers ongoing maintenance compared to 4WD systems. In yards, plants, and well-maintained outdoor surfaces, 2WD delivers the traction needed for daily work while keeping ownership costs in check.
• 78" Forks: The extra fork length adds load stability for longer or awkward materials such as bundled lumber, fabricated steel, pipe, or palletized building products. Longer forks can reduce the need to reposition the machine and help operators secure the load footprint more effectively.
• Straight Mast Forklift Design: Straight mast forklifts are built for outdoor and yard applications, offering a stable stance, stout frames, and straightforward service access. Operators benefit from intuitive controls, good forward visibility, and a chassis that stands up to frequent material handling in rugged environments.

Real-World Applications

The LiftKing LK16M22 Straight Mast Forklift is an excellent fit across industries that handle heavy, long, or repetitive material movements outdoors. Its Perkins diesel engine, 2-stage mast, and 78" forks align well with jobs that demand consistent lifting with minimal downtime.

• Construction and General Contracting: Move bundled materials, formwork, pallets, and site supplies around staging areas and laydown yards.
• Lumber and Building Materials Yards: Handle long packs of lumber, engineered wood products, and heavy palletized loads with confidence.
• Precast and Fabrication: Support loading and offloading of precast elements, steel shapes, and fabrication components where stability and fork reach matter.
• Industrial Plants and Wareyards: Manage palletized inbound/outbound freight, MRO materials, and production inputs in outdoor or semi-exposed environments.
• Utilities and Infrastructure: Transport conduit, pipe, and hardware at depots and project sites where straight mast visibility and control are beneficial.

Total Ownership Value

When evaluating used straight mast forklifts, buyers look beyond the initial price to long-term operating costs, serviceability, and uptime. This LK16M22’s configuration focuses on practical ownership and productivity.
