16 Ton Crane Forklift
HNFC160-1000
16-Tonne Heavy-Duty Forklift + Mobile Crane in One Machine
Lift, transport, position and place heavy loads without deploying separate equipment.
One Machine. Two Heavy-Duty Capabilities.
The 2-in-1 Heavy Lifting Solution
The HNFC160-1000 combines a 16-tonne forklift and a mobile crane on a single platform — ideal for shipyards, infrastructure, steel fabrication, machinery positioning and heavy industrial lifting across Africa.
16-Tonne Forklift
Rated capacity of 16,000 kg with 900 mm load centre and 3,500 mm max lift height.
Mobile Crane / Jib
Up to 25 tonne-metres load moment, 17.3 m max lifting height & 360° rotation.
Dual-Purpose Efficiency
Reduce equipment duplication, operator requirements, fuel and maintenance complexity.
Built for Africa
Engineered for mining, ports, construction, energy, steel and heavy industry.
Forklift + Crane Capabilities
⬆ 16-Tonne Forklift
- • 16,000 kg rated capacity
- • 900 mm load centre
- • 3,500 mm max forklift lift height
- • Forks: 110 × 220 × 1,800 mm
- • Carriage width: 2,750 mm
🏗️ Mobile Crane / Jib
- • 25 tonne-metres max load moment @ 4 m
- • 17,300 mm max crane lifting height
- • 360° crane rotation
- • Hydraulic jib boom with multi-stage extension
- • Main + rear outriggers for stability
⚠️ Important: The crane's actual permissible load depends on boom position, extension, radius, counterweight and load chart. The 16-tonne forklift rating is not a 16-tonne crane capacity at every boom position.
Machinery Installation Process Flow
The HNFC160-1000 excels at precision machinery positioning and installation.
LIFT → EXTEND → POSITION → LOWER

Power & Performance
Safety & Load Monitoring
🛡️ Torque Limiter
Automatically provides an alarm when the boom moves beyond its working range and restricts dangerous movements — especially critical during extended-boom operations.
📋 Operator Safety
- Load charts & working-radius limitations
- Outrigger deployment & boom-angle limits
- Emergency-stop systems & exclusion zones
- Pre-operation inspection & operator training
- Ground assessment & site preparation
