Uneven ground, mud, and loose gravel can stop a standard forklift cold and slow down an entire jobsite. Outdoor crews need a machine that holds traction, lifts heavy loads, and adjusts to changing conditions without constant downtime. A rough terrain forklift solves that problem, and the Hangcha HC RT35 was built for it. At RDS Equipment, we set up these trucks to match the way your team actually works each day.
What Makes the Hangcha HC RT35 a True Rough Terrain Forklift
The HC RT35 is a 7,000 lb capacity machine built for the kind of unpaved, broken ground that bogs down ordinary lift trucks. It carries heavy loads with stability and keeps moving in conditions that would stall an indoor forklift.
Capacity Across the Series
The Rough Terrain series gives you room to size the truck to your loads. We offer it in several capacities:
- 5,000 lb
- 6,000 lb
- 7,000 lb (the RT35)
- 11,000 lb
That range lets you match lift power to the job instead of paying for more truck than you need.
Tire Setups that Match Your Surface
The RT35 can be equipped with pneumatic tires, which handle most job-site surfaces well. Depending on your application, we can also set you up with:
- Foam-filled tires for puncture resistance
- Solid tires for heavy debris areas
- Standard air tires for general use
Pro Tip: If your site has scrap, nails, or sharp debris, ask us about foam-filled tires. They cut down on flats and keep your crew working.
Specs and Features Built for the Jobsite
Every RT35 can be configured around the work in front of you, from the mast to the carriage.
Masts, Carriages, and Attachments
You can order the RT35 with a three-stage 185-inch mast, and we offer multiple mast sizes for higher or lower lift heights, plus a two-stage option when you do not need the extra reach. Up front, it runs a Cascade side-shifting carriage for precise load placement.
It also comes with a four-way valve setup, so adding an attachment later is simple. Popular add-ons include:
- Fork positioners
- Rotators
- Other application-specific attachments
Operator Comfort and Control
The RT35 has a large operator compartment that is easy to get in and out of, with steel grated steps on each side for a clean, secure entry. Inside, the operator gets an inching pedal, brake, gas, and a full suspension seat. The three-speed transmission can be adjusted on the fly when conditions change.
Key Takeaway: A comfortable, well-laid-out cab keeps operators productive through long shifts and reduces fatigue on rough sites.

Power Where the Ground Gets Tough
Traction is what separates a rough terrain machine from a standard one, and the RT35 gives operators control over it.
Drive Modes and Differential Lock
A few simple switches up front let the operator adapt without stopping the truck. You can:
- Switch from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive on the fly
- Engage the electronic rear differential lock for extra traction in aggressive terrain
- Turn on the rear flood light for low-light work
Cab Options for Your Rough Terrain Forklift
The HC RT35 is available as an open cab or as an enclosed cab with heat and air for year-round comfort. With a long list of features and specs across the series, there is a configuration for almost any application.
