CASE 588H Rough Terrain Forklift

Productivity at Its Peak:

• Lift and Speed: With lifting capacities up to 8,000 lbs and roading speeds up to 24 mph (38.6 km/h), the 588H ensures fast and efficient material handling.
• Visibility and Design: The unique wide-channel, dual-mast design eliminates the need for a third mast, providing unparalleled forward visibility. The low-profile hood and perforated steel canopy enhance rearward visibility, ensuring safety and precision even at full lift height.
• Versatility: Optional 4-wheel drive, standard differential lock, and 60° mast tilt adapt the 588H to various terrains and tasks. The zero-tail swing design and industry-standard ITA class 3 carriage accommodate various attachments, enhancing flexibility in tight spaces.

Unmatched Fuel Efficiency:

• Tier 4 Final Solution: The efficient 74 horsepower, 3.4-liter FPT engine employs a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) to achieve at least 5% better fuel efficiency than previous models while adhering to current environmental standards and delivering faster response times.

Enhanced Comfort and Visibility:

• Operator-Centric Design: The absence of a third mast and the narrow operating console significantly improve front visibility. The spacious operating platform and optional deluxe suspension ensure operator comfort, even on rough terrain.
• Clear Rear View: The low-profile hood design maintains a clear view behind the machine, allowing for safe and confident operation.

Ease of Serviceability:

• Maintenance Made Simple: Daily maintenance is quick and easy, thanks to tool-free swing-out access doors, spin-on filters, ground-level site gauges, and grouped service points. This design ethos extends the machine’s performance and lifespan with minimal downtime.
• Hassle-Free Upkeep: The axles are designed for straightforward servicing without requiring complete disassembly, ensuring the 588H remains operational with minimal effort.

The CASE 588H Rough Terrain Forklift is engineered to elevate operational standards in challenging environments, offering a blend of performance, efficiency, and operator comfort unmatched in its class. Its thoughtful design and robust capabilities make it an invaluable addition to any fleet, ready to tackle the demands of modern construction sites and material handling tasks.
