All Terrain Forklifts That Work Hard

Working on a rugged site with a forklift that is not designed to handle the conditions can lead to major inefficiencies and costly downtime waiting for the right forklift to arrive. 

At Forklogic, we supply and deliver all terrain forklifts that are made to operate on uneven, unpaved, or sloped ground like mud, gravel, sand, and dirt construction sites.

All Terrain Forklifts for Sale

We have a great range of all terrain forklifts for sale. For ongoing jobs and demanding sites, purchasing your equipment outright often makes the most financial sense. We stock a premium range of 2WD and 4WD rough terrain forklifts engineered for maximum durability.

From compact low-clearance units to high-tonnage straight-mast lifters, our team will match the right lift capacity, mast height, and engine spec to your daily operations. Every machine we sell is rigorously inspected and backed by comprehensive warranties to guarantee long-term uptime.

Built for Conditions Standard Forklifts Can’t Handle 

Warehouse forklifts belong on flat concrete. Our all-terrain fleet is engineered from the ground up to perform safely and efficiently when the pavement ends.

• Superior Ground Clearance: Navigate deep ruts, rocks, debris, and steep approach angles without bottoming out or damaging the undercarriage.
• Maximum Traction (4WD & AWD): High-torque engines paired with differential locks keep you moving through heavy clay, wet paddocks, and loose gravel.
• Specialised Off-Road Tyres: Equipped with oversized deep-tread pneumatic or puncture-proof flotation tyres that distribute weight evenly to prevent the machine from sinking.
• Enhanced Load Stability: Reinforced wide-stance chassis and hydraulic load-levelling keep heavy, awkward loads secure even on lateral inclines.

Common Questions About All Terrain Forklifts

What actually makes an all-terrain forklift different from a standard forklift?

Standard forklifts are designed strictly for smooth, flat concrete or asphalt. All-terrain (rough terrain) forklifts feature heavy-duty suspension, high ground clearance, wide chassis stability, and large, deep-tread pneumatic or flotation tyres. They also come equipped with locking differentials and powerful 2WD or 4WD systems that prevent the machine from bottoming out or spinning wheels in loose sand, wet mud, steep dirt inclines, and gravel.

What licence do operators need to drive an all-terrain forklift?

It is important to know which forklift license you need. For straight-mast all-terrain forklifts, operators need a standard LF class High Risk Work Licence (HRWL). If you are hiring or operating a rough-terrain telehandler (variable-reach boom forklift), licensing depends on capacity and reach: machines with a boom capacity under 3 tonnes typically require an EWPA/TSA Gold Card, while telehandlers over 3 tonnes fitted with a crane jib or winch require a CN (Non-Slewing Mobile Crane) licence.

Should I choose a 2WD or 4WD rough-terrain forklift?

It comes down to your ground surface:

• Choose 2WD if your site consists of compacted gravel, dry unpaved yards, or firm, grassy paddocks. 2WD units offer great clearance and rough-surface agility with lower fuel burn and hire rates.
• Choose 4WD if you are dealing with wet winter sites, deep mud, loose sand, slippery clay, or significant slopes where maximum traction is non-negotiable.

How does site delivery work?

We coordinate end-to-end transport directly to your job site using specialised tilt-trays or low-loader floats. The transport driver will offload the machine safely on-ground, complete a pre-start check, and hand the keys directly to your site supervisor so your team can put the machine straight to work.

What happens if our hired forklift breaks down on-site?

Downtime kills project schedules, which is why we prioritise fast on-site support. If you run into any mechanical issues, our mobile service technicians are dispatched directly to your location with replacement parts and tooling. If an issue cannot be resolved rapidly on-site, we arrange a swap-out machine to keep your job moving.

Can you supply specialised attachments with an all-terrain forklift?

Yes. Beyond standard tynes, we can supply hydraulic side-shifts, fork positioners, long tynes, bin tippers (ideal for agricultural and harvest work), dirt buckets, and crane jibs. Let us know the exact materials you need to lift and we’ll help choose which forklift attachments would best suit your jobsite.
