Nissan Forklift – two model families for diesel and LPG operation, plus the optional triplex mast against the simple two-stage mast
The "Nissan Forklift" entry groups the Japanese manufacturer's classic counterbalance trucks, identified by the series codes AF and CF followed by a number for the capacity class — e.g. AF30, AF50, or CF30 through CF55. Both families cover diesel and LPG variants, with the CF line being the more broadly documented series, spanning several capacity steps up into the heavy-load range.

Models recorded in the database span engine outputs of 41 to 85 kW, own weights of 2,635 to 11,230 kg, and capacities of 1,234 to 8,000 kg, powered by engines of 2,064 to 5,201 cm³ displacement. The standard lift height of the classic series sits around 3,000 to 3,300 mm.
The bucket thus covers the mid-to-upper counterbalance segment used for in-plant material handling and outdoor yard storage, represented by models such as CF30, CF35, CF40 or CF50.
The standard lift height given for this bucket refers to the simple two-stage mast; an optional triplex mast reaches considerably greater lift heights at the same retracted height of the truck, though at a correspondingly lower residual capacity in the upper part of the lift range.
For a used Nissan forklift, the usual checks apply — mast wear and steering-axle bearings — and on LPG models, the condition of the tank mount and vaporiser. Since some models are now several decades old, always cross-check the recorded operating hours against the maintenance book.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
