Heavy Forklifts
With their new series of heavy forklift trucks, Hyundai is targeting a new customer base. A variety of industries, from the concrete and natural stone industries, to the steel business, the transportation of heavy goods in the ports and the railway sector are all depending on and working with heavy duty machines. The power and efficiency offered by the units keep operational costs low and provide the very best conditions for economical work. These machines could excel in the most demanding settings.
Providing the necessary power on all of the large capacity units, the Cummins diesel engine ranges from 162 horse-power to 250 horse-power. TierIII emission standards are met with engines that have 6 cylinders. These models can take the truck up to a speed of 35 km/h. It provides for a high climbing ability on rough terrain and steep slopes and also provides great acceleration.
The operator can use a switch in order to select 1 of 2 driving modes. While in "Power" mode, full power is available for work on heavy loads or difficult terrain. In the "STP" mode, the trucks can save a lot of fuel during light-duty work. In addition, just by pressing a switch, the operator could automatically maintain a selected speed without touching the accelerator pedal. This is an added fuel saving feature. The fully automatic transmission of the forklift gently shifts through the gears, making the equipment simple to maneuver and comfortable to operate.
The well-ventilated cabin offers a spacious and comfortable working place. The cabin combines high performance with fatigue-free work. The powerful air conditioning and heating system helps make certain that the operator has a comfortable interior. The cab was designed ergonomically to give a bird's eye view of all of the controls, in addition to the overall safety of the unit. A CD player and an MP3 player put the finishing touches on providing the nice atmosphere that Hyundai machines are reputed to have.
