The CSTAR CSQ-35F 3.5 Ton 4WD Rough Terrain Diesel Forklift is rated for 3,500 kg at a 500 mm load center with a standard lift height of 3,000 mm. Its four-wheel-drive rough-terrain layout is intended for outdoor material handling where uneven working surfaces and site access require a different chassis configuration from a conventional warehouse forklift.
The CSQ-35F uses a Xinchai 4D32XG30 diesel engine rated at 45 kW and a hydraulic transmission with 2 forward and 2 reverse gears. Ground clearance is 200 mm at the mast and 240 mm at the midpoint, while the front and rear tire specifications reflect the truck’s rough-terrain chassis.

What Makes the CSQ-35F a Rough Terrain Forklift
The main difference between the CSQ-35F and a conventional warehouse forklift is not its 3.5 ton capacity alone. Its four-wheel-drive chassis, larger tire arrangement and increased ground clearance are aimed at outdoor material handling where surface conditions and access are more demanding.
The truck measures 1,630 mm wide, has a 1,990 mm wheelbase and a 3,450 mm turning radius. Those dimensions still matter when the machine works around gates, loading zones, temporary storage areas or other restricted points on the site.
Ground Clearance and Site Access
The CSQ-35F lists 200 mm ground clearance at the mast and 240 mm at the midpoint. These figures are useful when comparing the truck with the actual surface transitions, entrances and operating areas at the site.
Ground clearance should be considered together with the truck’s wheelbase, tire arrangement and overall dimensions. A rough-terrain chassis does not remove the need to check the actual route before ordering, especially where access points are narrow or surface changes are abrupt.
3.5 Ton Capacity and Load Center
The CSQ-35F is rated for 3,500 kg at a 500 mm load center. That rating should be read together with the actual load dimensions rather than treated as a universal 3.5 ton figure for every load.
Long, irregular or attachment-handled loads can move the load center farther from the fork face. In those cases, provide the load weight, dimensions, lifting position and required lift height so the proposed configuration can be checked against the intended application.
Xinchai Diesel Engine and Hydraulic Transmission
Power comes from the Xinchai 4D32XG30 diesel engine, with a published rated output of 45 kW. The transmission is hydraulic with 2 forward and 2 reverse gears.
When comparing this truck with another rough-terrain forklift, engine output should be considered together with the complete machine specification, including service weight, travel speed, gradeability, tire configuration and the conditions at the working site.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
For a rough-terrain forklift, the working surface matters as much as the load itself. Before requesting a quotation, provide the maximum load weight, load dimensions, required lift height and a brief description of the operating area.
Also include the narrowest gate or access point, available turning space, surface conditions and any attachment requirements. These details make it easier to determine whether the CSQ-35F configuration matches the actual job.
Common Ordering Questions
What is the difference between a 4WD rough terrain forklift and a standard diesel forklift?
A 4WD rough terrain forklift uses a chassis configuration intended for more demanding outdoor operating conditions. On the CSQ-35F, the four-wheel-drive layout, tire arrangement and 200 / 240 mm ground clearance distinguish it from a typical warehouse-oriented diesel forklift. The actual working site should still be reviewed before selecting the truck.
What information should I provide for a long or non-standard load?
The CSQ-35F is rated at a 500 mm load center. For long, irregular or attachment-handled loads, provide the load weight, dimensions, lifting position and required lift height so the configuration can be evaluated correctly.
What site information is useful when requesting a CSQ-35F quotation?
Provide the working surface conditions, narrowest access point, available turning space, load weight, required lift height and any attachment requirements. Photos of the operating area can also help clarify the application.
Send the maximum load weight, required lift height, working surface conditions, available operating space, attachment requirements and destination country.
