Overview

The Donkey Low Profile Series is a specialized low-clearance forklift that adds capability where conventional lifts fall short. Powered by a Tier 4 compliant 25 HP Kubota diesel engine and a 6-speed GM transmission, it delivers the speed and power needed for long hauls and fast unloading cycles. Standard features include side shift, strobe light, smart backup alarm, and corrosion-resistant components, making it a reliable, job-ready unit right off the truck. With the lowest ground pressure of any forklift on the market and centralized weight distribution, it handles demanding delivery environments without tearing up surfaces or compromising stability.
