How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Gear Pump for 4WD Rough Terrain Forklifts – CBFC Series Guide

In 4WD rough terrain forklifts, the hydraulic gear pump plays a vital role in powering core functions such as lifting, tilting, steering, and stabilizing. Choosing the correct pump model is crucial to ensure that the machine operates smoothly under various working conditions and load demands.

The CBFC series high-pressure gear pumps are widely used in off-road forklifts and loaders from Chinese manufacturers, including Kaida (KDJY series), CPCY series, T-series, RFT, HY, and others. Each forklift tonnage class requires a specific pump displacement to match its hydraulic performance needs.

For 3-ton and 3.5-ton 4WD forklifts, the recommended pump is the CBFC-32. This model provides stable hydraulic output for smaller machines operating on construction sites, farms, or industrial yards.

For 4-ton rough terrain forklifts, the ideal choice is the CBFC-40 pump. With higher displacement, it delivers sufficient flow and pressure to support frequent lifting and tilting actions under moderate loads.

As forklift size increases, 4.5-ton and 5-ton forklifts such as the KDJY50, CPCY50, T50A, RFT50, and HY50 require the CBFC-50 pump. This model is designed for heavy-duty usage with higher flow demands and increased working pressure, ensuring smooth and reliable hydraulic performance under full load conditions.

For 6-ton off-road forklifts, the most suitable choice is the CBFC-63, a large-displacement gear pump capable of supporting high-flow operations required in mining, material handling, and severe off-road environments.

Each CBFC pump features high-strength cast iron housing, DU wear-resistant bushings, four-bolt mounting configuration, and options for left-hand or right-hand rotation. It also supports both spline (6-tooth) and keyed shaft connections, making it adaptable to various PTO setups.


Why CBFC Pumps Are the Right Choice:

  • Designed for medium-to-high pressure hydraulic systems
  • Built for rough terrain conditions and long-term durability
  • High volumetric efficiency even under variable loads
  • Proven compatibility with major Chinese 4WD forklift brands
  • Easy installation and strong aftermarket availability
