Used Heavy-Duty Diesel FLT Model
Used TCM FD50T9 FLT Model
This used TCM FD50T9 is built for heavier handling, with a 5,000 kg capacity at a 600 mm load centre. It suits transport yards, manufacturing sites, workshops and industrial operations moving machinery, steel, stillages and larger palletised loads where a smaller forklift starts to struggle.
This unit is fitted with a VFHM400 mast, giving it a 4,000 mm lift height and 2,185 mm lowered mast height. Pneumatic tyres make it well suited to hardstand, loading areas and outdoor yard work, while the Mitsubishi S6S diesel engine is a proven industrial setup with good parts and service support.
The operator area is simple and functional, with a suspension-style seat, seat belt, overhead guard and four hydraulic control levers. It is a proper heavy-duty forklift with the capacity, mast setup and diesel power to suit businesses that need a serious working machine rather than a standard warehouse truck.

The published model dimensions are useful when comparing trucks, but the actual working configuration matters more. Mast, forks, tyres and attachments can change operating weight, capacity and clearance requirements, so Compass can confirm the relevant measurements against your site before the machine goes to work.
Compass Forklifts can supply this used TCM FD50T9 for outright purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying the truck outright is not the right move.
Used TCM FD50T9 Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about this used TCM? Here are some of the things worth knowing before putting a 5 tonne diesel forklift to work on your site.
What sort of work is the TCM FD50T9 best suited to?
The FD50T9 makes the most sense where there is genuine heavy lifting to do. Transport yards, steel and fabrication businesses, manufacturing sites, building-product suppliers and larger industrial operations are all typical examples.
Its 5 tonne nominal capacity gives you substantially more lifting ability than a standard warehouse counterbalance, while the diesel engine and pneumatic tyre setup are well suited to regular yard and mixed-surface work.
What engine is fitted to the TCM FD50T9?
The TCM FD50T9 uses the Mitsubishi S6S industrial diesel engine.
One of its advantages on a used forklift is that it is an established industrial engine rather than something obscure. Routine service items and replacement engine components are supported through established parts networks, which makes ongoing servicing and repair much easier for a Perth business planning to keep the machine working for years.
What does the 4,000 mm mast give me on this particular truck?
The mast plate on this unit identifies a VFHM400 mast with a maximum lift height of 4,000 mm and a lowered mast height of 2,185 mm.
That gives you useful working height for loading, unloading and stacking without turning the truck into an unnecessarily tall machine when the mast is down.
If you have fixed doorways, sheds, overhead structures or racking, give Compass the measurements and we can check the actual clearances rather than relying on guesswork.
Why are pneumatic tyres useful on a 5 tonne diesel forklift?
A heavy truck like the FD50T9 is often expected to work outside the perfect conditions of a warehouse floor.
Pneumatic tyres provide more cushioning over rough hardstand and uneven surfaces than a low-profile warehouse tyre. The deeper tread also suits yard work where traction matters.
That does not make the forklift a rough-terrain machine, though. Surface condition, gradients, potholes and load weight still need to be considered.
Can the TCM FD50T9 lift any 5,000 kg load?
Not automatically.
The 5,000 kg figure is the truck’s nominal capacity at a specified 600 mm load centre. Actual residual capacity can change depending on the load dimensions, mast height, fork length and attachments fitted to the truck.
If you regularly handle loads close to 5 tonnes, we would want to know exactly what they are, how large they are and how high they need to be lifted before confirming the machine is right for the job.
Is the TCM FD50T9 suitable for a tight warehouse?
That depends on the warehouse.
The published turning radius for the FD50T9 is approximately 3.04 metres, so this is not a compact truck designed to dance around narrow racking aisles. It is a heavy 5 tonne counterbalance forklift and needs an appropriate amount of working space.
For an open warehouse, loading area or industrial shed it may be perfectly suitable. For tighter racking, Compass can check aisle width, load size and turning requirements before you commit.
