When ordinary forklifts are caught in a dilemma at a flooded construction site, all-terrain forklifts are generally used in logistics parks to complete emergency transfers in heavy rain. In the muddy, waterlogged, and soft ground construction environment of the rainy season, once a traditional forklift is stuck in the mud, its efficiency and safety will be greatly reduced.
At this time, all-terrain forklifts (also known as rough-terrain forklifts or rough-terrain forklifts) have become the real "all-weather heroes" on the construction site with their excellent adaptability and reliability. For example, data from the rainy season in southern China in 2025 showed that the downtime losses of traditional equipment caused by the rainy season were as high as RMB 37,000 per day, while the average capacity retention rate of all-terrain forklift user groups was still 89%.
All-terrain forklifts are designed for harsh outdoor environments and have the following features:
Extra-large pneumatic tires: deep tread, puncture-resistant, improved grip and shock absorption capabilities;
High chassis design: greatly improved ground clearance, can easily cross mud pits, gravel, and waterlogged areas;
Powerful diesel engine and four-wheel drive system: provide sufficient power, strong grip, and no slipping on wet and slippery surfaces;
Low center of gravity, widened chassis and stable structure: excellent anti-rollover performance when dealing with slopes or uneven surfaces;
Comfortable protective cockpit: equipped with rainproof design, windshield and shock-absorbing seat, long-term operation in rainy season is more comfortable and safe.
(1). Excellent driving control, turning danger into opportunity
Construction sites in rainy season are often covered with muddy and soft soil layers, and ordinary forklifts are prone to getting stuck and slipping. However, all-terrain forklifts rely on four-wheel drive system and locking differential function to effectively enhance grip, and can switch to four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive mode, whether it is wet and slippery mud or waterlogged roads, they can move forward stably.
(2). High chassis and large tires reduce resistance and improve efficiency
The professionally designed ground clearance and air-pressure tire combination effectively prevents the chassis from touching the ground and the tires from sinking into mud ditch, and can smoothly pass through waterlogged and muddy areas even under load. This means that during construction after rain, material transportation is not interrupted and construction efficiency is not reduced.
(3). Safe and stable, tapping potential and escorting without worries
The wide wheelbase, low center of gravity, fully stable structure, plus locking differential or four-wheel drive assistance, enable the all-terrain forklift to maintain excellent stability even on uneven slopes or slippery slopes, minimizing the risk of rollover and tipping.
(4). All-weather operation guarantee, rainy as usual
The structure has excellent dust and water resistance, and the protection of key components reaches industrial protection level, which can adapt to complex environments such as rain, wet and mud. In addition, the waterproof cockpit, shock-absorbing seats and humanized operation layout make the operating environment safe and comfortable, and it can still operate smoothly in the rainy season.
(5). Durable and maintenance-saving, cost-saving in all seasons
The all-terrain forklift has a solid structure and high-strength parts design, which can adapt to the humidity and mud and sand corrosion in the rainy season, reducing the frequency of failures and maintenance. In long-term use, its stable reliability and high residual value significantly reduce long-term costs.
Imagine such a scene: on a muddy construction site, the material transportation channel is no longer flat, and ordinary forklifts get stuck and stop working several times, but this all-terrain forklift starts the four-wheel drive, easily crosses the accumulated water and soft soil, and steadily delivers the construction materials to the top of the construction area. The on-site manager exclaimed: "Work does not stop in the rain, which greatly saves time and labor costs."
From construction sites, rainy season farmland operations, to road maintenance conditions, all-terrain forklifts give full play to their high grip, high passability and wetland safety stability to ensure continuous construction without interruption.
The all-terrain forklift we recommend is designed for rainy season and complex outdoor environment, with:
Large-size deep-tread wear-resistant tires + four-wheel drive + differential lock;
High-performance diesel engine + anti-leakage water sealing system;
High chassis structure + enhanced steering and braking system;
Rainproof and comfortable cockpit configuration;
Professional operator training and after-sales maintenance support.
These equipment not only improve construction efficiency, but also provide stable and safe protection for rainy season environment.
In the rainy season construction environment, the all-terrain forklift has become a winning weapon on the construction site with its super grip, high chassis passability, stable and safe design and all-weather durability. Choosing such a device means that it is still efficient, safe and does not stop work in the rain, truly realizing the construction "wet season does not delay the project schedule".
