498T3

The Xinchai 498T3 is the eco-friendly upgraded version of the classic 498 series forklift diesel engine, purpose-built to meet the National III (Tier 3) emission standards for off-road mobile machinery. With a displacement of 3.168 liters, it retains the core advantages of the original series—such as rugged durability, compact design, and high low-speed torque—while comprehensively upgrading the fuel injection system (typically utilizing electronic high-pressure common rail or electronic VE pump technologies), with turbocharging available on some models. Thanks to precise fuel management, the 498T3 offers faster power response and significantly reduced exhaust emissions and operational noise. As a complete power unit fully dressed with accessories from the factory, it is the primary power choice for modern eco-friendly 2 to 3.5-ton forklifts and compact construction machinery.
