5 Ton Wheel Loader LT953 with Forklift Function
LT953 5 Ton Wheel Loader with Forklift Attachment - One Machine, Two Functions
The LT953 is a versatile 5-ton wheel loader that transforms into a heavy-duty forklift in under 5 minutes. Equipped with a 162kW Weichai turbocharged engine, a 3m³ bucket for loading and a quick-coupler pallet fork (1600mm length) for lifting, it handles everything from aggregate and soil to pallets, logs and stone blocks - eliminating the need to buy a separate forklift.

Max Fork Lifting Height
Attachment Swap Time
The LT953's quick-coupler system lets a single operator switch between bucket and fork in minutes - cutting your equipment investment in half.
Mode 1: Wheel Loader
3m³ bucket for loading aggregate, soil, sand, gravel and ore. 145kN breakout force, 11.5s cycle time.
Mode 2: Heavy Forklift
1600mm pallet fork for lifting pallets, logs, stone blocks and baled goods. 3400mm lifting height.
One Machine. Endless Possibilities.
The LT953 is built on Liteng's proven 5-ton wheel loader platform, powered by the Weichai WD10G220E11 turbocharged diesel engine (162kW / 220HP). Its energy-saving hydraulic system - featuring dual-pump confluence and steering-priority equal-unloading technology - delivers high efficiency with up to 10% lower fuel consumption than conventional designs.
What sets this model apart is its quick-coupler attachment system. In under 5 minutes, a single operator can detach the 3m³ loading bucket and mount the heavy-duty pallet fork - converting the LT953 from an earthmoving loader into a 5-ton capacity forklift. The fork features 1600mm tines with adjustable spacing up to 1220mm, reaching a maximum lifting height of 3400mm. This dual-function capability makes the LT953 the ideal single-machine solution for construction sites, logistics yards, farms, sawmills and stone yards where both bulk material loading and unit-load handling are required.
Six advantages that maximize your return on investment
Cut Equipment Cost in Half
One LT953 replaces both a wheel loader and a separate forklift. Slash your capital expenditure, reduce maintenance overhead and free up yard space - without compromising on either function.
Quick-Coupler Versatility
Hydraulic auto-coupling system lets a single operator switch between bucket, fork, grapple and clamp in under 5 minutes - no special tools, no downtime, maximum utilization.
Energy-Saving Hydraulics
Dual-pump confluence with steering-priority equal-unloading technology delivers up to 10% lower fuel consumption while maintaining full breakout force and lifting power.
Heavy-Duty Pallet Fork
1600mm forged-steel tines (175×105mm cross-section) with adjustable spacing up to 1220mm. Rated for full 5000kg loads at 3400mm lifting height - built for industrial use.
Safe & Reliable Operation
4-wheel drive, dual-circuit caliper disc brakes, ROPS/FOPS cabin, ±35° steering articulation and 6650mm minimum turning radius - stable and maneuverable in tight yards.
Global Service & Parts
Weichai engine with worldwide parts network, 1-year / 2000-hour warranty, overseas third-party service support and lifetime spare parts supply for both loader and fork components.
