A strong and energy efficient Diesel Perkins motor and automatic transmission powers this four-wheel forklift and during testing it\u00a0allowed the vehicle to move around without hassle. It also features a three-stage container mast that can carry up to 2,500kg loads and lift up to 4,500mm high.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Performance<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Even though the VF25D is\u00a0compact in build, it tackles large moving jobs with ease. Its pneumatic tyres and tight turning radius allow it to smoothly maneuver even in narrow spaces.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Cabin<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The Victory VF25D cabin felt sturdy and secure and the dash controls are well laid out and easy to access. Similarly, its driver seat is comfortable and allowed for good visibility through the mast.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Warranty<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0VF25D&#8217;s parts feel durable, but it&#8217;s comforting to know that they are still backed up with a full-service support and warranty.
