Built around a high-strength steel frame, it is sized for heavy-duty material handling across warehouses, factories, distribution centers, and outdoor yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a \u003cstrong\u003eKubota or Mitsubishi 4EG diesel engine\u003c\/strong\u003e, Tier 4 EPA compliant for strong performance with lower emissions. The Mitsubishi 4EG is rated at \u003cstrong\u003e49 HP at 2,250 rpm\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering diesel torque for full 8,500 lb loads at travel speeds of 10.3 mph loaded and 11.2 mph unloaded. Solid pneumatic tires give traction and stability on outdoor yards and uneven terrain without the puncture risk of air-filled tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe operator station is built for long shifts: an enlarged operation space with a semi-suspension seat and a small-diameter steering wheel for lighter steering effort, plus a suspension cab with cushion connections and damping devices that cut the shock and vibration reaching the operator. An overhead guard and a noise-reduction mast design support safer, quieter operation, and a small turning radius keeps the truck maneuverable in narrow aisles and busy work areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GD85 ships attachment-ready. A \u003cstrong\u003eCascade® side shift\u003c\/strong\u003e lets the operator reposition a load laterally for precise fork placement without re-aligning the whole truck, and a pre-plumbed \u003cstrong\u003eShimadzu® 4-way valve\u003c\/strong\u003e supports smooth multi-function hydraulic control and additional attachment mounting. Forks measure 48 x 5.9 x 1.9 inches, with 37.9 inches of free lift and an 86.2-inch lowered mast height for moving through standard doorways and trailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTier 4 EPA-compliant diesel engine\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kubota or Mitsubishi 4EG,
