A Thai Farmer’s Rainy Day: How an Agricultural Handling Forklift Earns an Extra 3,000 THB

Date: Jul 18, 2025

At 5 a.m., after a downpour in Rayong’s durian orchard, 30cm-deep mud mixed with rotten fruit turned paths into "swamps." Farmer Suwan remained calm—he climbed into his Hengwang HWC-35A Agricultural Handling Forklift, started the engine, and its 20.5/70-16 lug tires (dragon-pattern tread) crushed through the mire like "tracks." "Before, tractors got stuck 3 times here. Now, this Agricultural Handling Forklift hauls 5 extra loads/day, earning me 3,000 THB more."

7:00 Orchard Transport: The "Anti-Stuck Magic" of Agricultural Handling Forklifts

Suwan’s durian orchard is typical Southeast Asian sloped terrain. Rainy-season mud fills 1.5m-wide rows. He lifts 4 durian baskets (≈800kg) effortlessly—no sinking. Secrets of the HWC-35A:

lLug Tires: 31cm-wide tires increase ground contact by 40%. 3cm-deep treads "claw" into mud, reducing slippage by 60%.

lHigh Chassis: 300mm platform clearance + 350mm front clearance—50mm higher than muddy pits.

l4WD: Even power distribution on slopes. Zero skidding on 15° inclines.

"Before, shoulder poles moved 2 baskets/hour. Now, this Agricultural Handling Forklift moves 4 baskets in 10 minutes. I harvest 20 extra trees by noon." — Suwan grins.

12:00 Paddy Field Transit: Waterproof Design Turns "Flooding" into a Non-Issue

Noon rain flooded fields to half-tire depth. Suwan drove his Agricultural Handling Forklift straight in—thanks to IP65-rated sealing:

lWaterproof gaskets on motor/battery housings prevent short circuits even when submerged.

lAnti-corrosion hydraulic cylinders. Tested in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta: Zero hydraulic failures after 30 rainy days.

lAir intake raised to 1.2m—above flood levels—avoiding water ingestion.

"Last week, a neighbor’s flooded tractor cost 20,000 THB to fix. Mine was submerged 30 minutes—wiped dry and ran fine." — Suwan pats the steering wheel.

17:00 Maintenance: 5-Minute "Life-Extending" Rainy-Season Routine

After work, Suwan spends 5 minutes maintaining his Agricultural Handling Forklift—a "rainy-season survival tip" from Hengwang technicians:

1.Rinse chassis with high-pressure water: Clear mud from tire treads and rollers to prevent rust.

2.Apply water-resistant grease (3x more waterproof than standard) to mast rails.

3.Check battery gaskets: "A damaged gasket swells batteries in 3 days."

"I neglected maintenance before—forklifts rusted in 6 months. Now, my cousin’s Hengwang Agricultural Handling Forklift in Indonesia runs like new after 2 years."

Why Southeast Asian Farmers Choose Hengwang Agricultural Handling Forklifts?

Vs. traditional tools, the HWC-35A Agricultural Handling Forklift dominates:

lEfficiency: 8 baskets/trip (tractor: 2). Harvest time for 1 hectare: 5 days → 3 days.

lCost: Fuel consumption 4.5L/h (tractor: 8L/h). Saves 12,000 THB in 3 rainy months.
