Electric, diesel, and LPG counterbalanced forklifts provide dependable lifting for timber handling, loading, and yard logistics, with capacities from 1.5T to 12T.
The right equipment depends on the size and weight of the materials you’re handling, ground conditions, daily operating hours, and whether the machine needs to work purely outdoors or across mixed conditions. Diesel and LPG forklifts are often preferred for continuous outdoor yard use, while electric options suit lower-noise or partially covered operations. Our team can help match the right JAC equipment to your yard.
JAC Forklifts NZ combines dependable equipment with practical advice, servicing, and ongoing local support, helping timberyard and forestry support operations keep equipment working reliably day to day.

JAC currently supplies counterbalanced forklifts suited to timber and log handling in prepared yard and sawmill environments, available in electric, diesel and LPG options from 1.5T to 12T capacity. Industrial sweepers are also available to help keep yard and facility surfaces clear.
Standard counterbalanced forklifts can handle a wide range of timber and packaged materials depending on load length, weight, and centre of balance. For particularly long or heavy log loads, talk to our team about your specific materials so we can advise on suitable capacity and attachment options.
Diesel forklifts are a strong option for continuous outdoor yard use thanks to their power and refuelling flexibility, while LPG offers similar outdoor performance with lower emissions. Electric options with lithium batteries are also worth considering if noise, emissions, or indoor/outdoor mixed use are a priority for your site.
It depends on the weight and volume of timber or materials you’re moving daily. JAC’s counterbalanced forklift range spans 1.5T to 12T, covering lighter packaged timber handling through to heavier bulk loads. Our team can recommend a suitable capacity based on your typical loads.
JAC’s standard counterbalanced forklifts perform best on prepared, hardstand, or reasonably level yard surfaces. If your site has rough, sloped, or unformed ground, let our team know your site conditions so we can advise on the most suitable equipment setup.
