The Tailift PFD40 is a heavy-duty 9,000 lb class diesel forklift designed for demanding material-handling applications where high capacity, durability, and dependable performance are essential.
With a rated capacity of 8,800 lb (4,000 kg), the PFD40 delivers the lifting capability businesses expect from a 9,000 lb class forklift. Its rugged pneumatic-tire design, powerful Kubota diesel engine, and heavy-duty chassis make it well suited for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, lumber yards, construction-related operations, distribution centers, and other industrial environments.
The PFD40 is powered by a Kubota V3307 diesel engine producing 55.4 kW at 2,400 rpm. The engine is designed to deliver strong torque and stable performance under demanding loads while maintaining efficient operation.
The PFD40's engine and emissions-control system are designed to reduce emissions while maintaining the power required for heavy-duty material handling.
Built around an integral heavy-duty chassis, the PFD40 is designed to withstand demanding industrial applications. Its pneumatic tires provide versatility across a variety of work surfaces, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor material handling.
The forklift incorporates an internal hidden tilt cylinder that helps protect the cylinder from damage while providing additional clearance around the mast.
The PFD40 is designed to provide a comfortable and productive operating environment. An adjustable steering column allows operators to establish a comfortable driving position, while the spacious operator compartment provides ample foot room.
The adjustable suspension seat features forward-and-back adjustment, an adjustable backrest, and a retractable safety belt.
Hydraulic control levers are positioned within easy reach of the operator, helping reduce fatigue during repetitive lifting and handling operations.
The multifunction instrument panel provides important operating information while maintaining clear visibility of the controls.
An integrated forward/reverse control allows operators to change travel direction efficiently while keeping their hands close to the steering wheel.
A large, non-slip entry step and spacious operator compartment make entering and exiting the forklift easier.
The PFD40 incorporates high-mounted rear combination lights that integrate rear, brake, direction, and reverse lighting.
Large front lighting provides additional illumination when working in lower-light conditions, while the operator-oriented design helps provide visibility around the forklift during material handling.
The mechanical parking brake includes a microswitch designed to help prevent improper operation.
Depending on configuration, the PFD40 can be equipped with options including:
Side shift
Dual wheels
Operator cabin
Climate-controlled full cabin
Pre-cleaner engine air intake
Mast lock
Swing-down bracket
Hinged forks
Rotating forks
Shovel
Bale clamp
The Tailift PFD40 gives businesses the capacity and durability needed for demanding applications without moving into the much larger footprint of higher-capacity industrial forklifts.
As a 9,000 lb class diesel forklift with an 8,800 lb rated capacity, pneumatic tires, a heavy-duty chassis, and a Kubota diesel engine, the PFD40 is a strong choice for lumber yards, manufacturing, construction, distribution, warehouses, and other demanding material-handling operations.
