Move More, Lift Higher: New Holland Intros F60C and F80C Rough-Terrain Forklifts

The new models bring 6,000- to 8,000-pound lift capacities, top speeds of 24 mph and 74 horsepower for moving material.

New Holland Construction has expanded its rough-terrain forklift line with two new models, F60C and F80C, with additional lift capacity and operating height for fast, efficient material handling, the company says.  

The F60C offers a 6,000-pound lift capacity and 18 feet of operating height, while the F80C is rated at 8,000 pounds of lifting capacity and a top operating height of 18 feet 4 inches. Both models can maintain a full-height load capacity while traveling 24.1 mph. New Holland’s lineup also includes the F50C, with a 5,000-pound lift capacity and operating height of 18 feet 9 inches.

With a 74-horsepower FPT diesel engine, the F60C and F80C come equipped with standard four-wheel drive and a power shuttle synchromesh transmission with four forward and four reverse gears for “strong and steady” power and control in nearly any terrain, the company says. To further enhance traction and stability on a variety of jobsites, the forklifts feature a push-button-activation differential lock, over 10.3 inches of ground clearance and an 84.5-inch wheelbase.

Both models come standard with a 15-foot mast with 48-inch forks. Three inches of mast side shift on either side increase operator visibility. An optional 22-foot straight-lift mast or 15-foot free-lift mast are also available, as well as optional power fork positioning. Automatic load control reduces shock on the operator.

Turf tire options are available to help reduce ground pressure in sensitive environments, such as turf and vegetable farms.

The operator compartment is ergonomic and comfortable, the company says. A cab option with both heat and air conditioning is available for the F80C. A premium LED work light package is another option.

When designing the forklifts, New Holland says, it prioritized ease of operation and maintenance. A diesel oxidation catalyst system on the engine increases fuel efficiency and response times while eliminating the need for diesel particulate filters or additional fluids.  

The forklifts come standard with seven years of complimentary telematics connectivity through myNewHollandConstruction, giving owners access to in-depth machine data, including machine location, operating hours, maintenance schedules and machine health information, as well as geofencing, curfew monitoring and maintenance alerts.

The F60C and F80C Rough Terrain Forklifts are available to order now for delivery in Q4 2026.
