What this mod does
The Wolf Heavy Industries Medium Duty Forklift is a mid-range forklift made by TrackpadUser, one of the most prolific BeamNG.drive modders. It’s used to lift and move loads, and it has over 800,000 downloads.
What’s included
- 4.5-ton lifting capacity; the machine weighs about 6.5 tons empty.
- Optional fork extensions.
- Single mast and, since 2021, a triple mast.
- Tow hitch.
- PBR materials and realistic hydraulics since version 1.4 from March 2024.
How to drive it
The author warns that lifting can feel slow: shift into neutral and press the throttle to raise the revs so the hydraulics work faster. Always drive with the load low so you don’t tip over. Since it has no suspension, the wheels bounce quite a bit, so slow down over curbs and rough ground.
Compatibility and tips
The latest version is from March 2024, and the mod page doesn’t specify a game version. Reviews from 2025 and March 2026 are positive and don’t mention serious bugs; only one user comments that the rear tires blow out easily. The mod page links to a mod with forklift-compatible loads, handy if you want to practice with pallets.
