Review: 2016 Victory VF25D Counterbalance Forklift
Victory VF25D Counterbalance Forklift: The Introduction
In recent years, the forklift industry has seen tremendous growth, with hundreds of manufacturers releasing lift trucks of different capabilities and prices. This means it’s now even harder for businesses to decide on which brand to buy and use for their day-to-day operations.
To help solve this problem, we’ve tested several forklift models from local dealers to find the best for every business need. One variant that caught our eye is the VF25D counterbalance forklift from Victory.
Victory VF25D Counterbalance Forklift: Key Features
Power
The Victory VF25D is an ideal choice for businesses with light to medium-duty operations. A strong and energy efficient Diesel Perkins motor and automatic transmission powers this four-wheel forklift and during testing it allowed 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.
Performance
Even though the VF25D is compact 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.
Cabin
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.
Warranty
The VF25D’s parts feel durable, but it’s comforting to know that they are still backed up with a full-service support and warranty. As we all know, such warranties are essential in guaranteeing that our equipment provides us with a long service life. To be specific, the VF25D comes with a two-year factory-backed and Australia-wide warranty. You can talk to your dealer for more information on this.

Victory VF25D Counterbalance Forklift: The Verdict
With all these features and capabilities, it’s not surprising if the Victory VF25D catches your interest. While it may lack an ergonomic cabin, I still see it as a good counterbalance forklift truck that can provide comfort and safety in any working condition. It’s suitable for ports, factories, large warehouses, and shipping businesses.
