About This 3 Ton Diesel Side Loader Forklift
The RUNTX FDS30 is a 3 ton diesel side loader forklift designed for handling long, bulky, and difficult-to-maneuver materials such as timber, steel pipes, metal profiles, boards, and structural components. Unlike a conventional counterbalance forklift, the side-loading configuration allows long loads to be carried lengthwise along the machine, reducing the space required for turning and repositioning.
With a rated capacity of 3,000 kg at a 600 mm load center, a maximum lifting height of 3,500 mm, and diesel power for regular industrial use, the FDS30 is suitable for warehouses, timber yards, steel processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and outdoor storage areas where long-load handling is part of daily operations.
Key Advantages
Efficient Long-Load Handling
- Side-Loading Design: Allows timber, pipes, steel sections, panels, and other long materials to be transported parallel to the direction of travel, reducing unnecessary turning and repositioning.
- 3,000 kg Load Capacity: Suitable for a wide range of medium-duty long-load handling applications in manufacturing, warehousing, and material storage operations.
- 3,500 mm Lift Height: Supports loading, unloading, stacking, and rack storage requirements for common industrial materials.
- Wide Load Platform: A 1,200 mm platform width provides practical support for long and irregular loads during transport.
- 20 km/h Travel Speed: Supports efficient transfer of materials between storage, production, and loading areas on larger industrial sites.
Built Around Buyer Requirements
- Diesel Power: The 4D30G31 engine provides practical power for regular warehouse, factory, and outdoor yard operations.
- Ground Clearance for Mixed Sites: A 170 mm minimum ground clearance helps the machine work across common industrial yards and storage areas.
- OEM & ODM Available: Custom color, branding, identification markings, and selected attachments can be configured according to buyer requirements and application conditions.
- Application-Based Configuration: Fork dimensions, load-handling requirements, and optional equipment can be discussed according to the materials being handled and the customer’s operating environment.
- Export-Oriented Supply: Configuration details can be confirmed before production to help distributors, rental companies, and direct equipment buyers match the machine to their local market requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
We supply a comprehensive range of industrial forklifts tailored for diverse material handling needs, including electric forklifts, advanced lithium-ion models, and heavy-duty internal combustion (diesel/LPG) trucks. To choose the right model, consider your primary operating environment (indoor warehouse vs. outdoor rugged terrain), required load capacity (ranging from 1.5 ton to heavy-duty configurations), and lift height requirements. Our team provides tailored solutions based on your specific facility layout.
Diesel forklifts deliver exceptional power and fast travel speeds, making them ideal for demanding, outdoor, and multi-shift operations. However, Lithium-ion electric forklifts are rapidly expanding in modern material handling due to zero emissions, quiet operation, and significantly lower maintenance costs. Lithium-ion trucks also support opportunity charging (charging during breaks) without memory loss, combining the high uptime of IC engines with the eco-friendly benefits of electric power.
Yes, providing customized load handling solutions is one of our core strengths. Depending on your operational requirements, our forklifts can be configured with standard 2-stage masts, full-free 2-stage masts, or 3-stage triplex masts for high-stacking warehouse applications. We also offer standard premium tires (pneumatic or solid cushion) and a wide array of specialized attachments, including sideshifters, paper roll clamps, bale clamps, and positioners.
Quality is the foundation of our machinery. Every forklift undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection protocol prior to leaving the factory. This includes intensive structural integrity audits, hydraulic pressure checks, and rigorous dynamic performance tests focusing on steering, stability, and braking control. We ensure that every piece of warehouse equipment meets international safety regulations and arrives onsite ready for immediate operation.
Routine maintenance maximizes forklift lifespan and ensures workplace safety. For internal combustion models, regular checks include engine oil changes, hydraulic fluid inspections, and filter replacements. For electric and lithium-ion models, maintenance is significantly streamlined, focusing primarily on checking the mast lubrication, hydraulic connections, and electronic diagnostic systems. We provide clear service guidelines to help your fleet operation run smoothly with minimal downtime.
