Heavy Forklifts
With their new series of heavy forklift trucks, Hyundai is targeting a new customer base. Various industries, from the natural stone and concrete businesses, to the steel business, the railway sector and the transportation of heavy goods in the ports are all working with and relying on heavy duty equipment. The power and efficiency offered by the units keep operational costs low and offer the best conditions for efficient work. These equipment can excel in the most tough environments.
Providing the needed power on all of the large capacity models, the Cummins diesel engine varies from 162 horse-power to 250 horse-power. TierIII emission standards are met with the 6 cylinder engines. These models could take the truck up to a speed of 35 km/h. It provides for a high climbing ability on steep slopes and rough terrain and offers great acceleration too.
The operator can use a switch to be able to choose 1 of 2 driving modes. When in "Power" mode, full power is available for work on heavy loads or tough terrain. In the "STP" mode, the trucks could save a lot of fuel during light-duty work. Moreover, just by pressing a switch, the operator can automatically maintain a selected speed without touching the accelerator pedal. This is another fuel saving function. The fully automatic transmission of the forklift gently shifts through the gears, making the machinery simple to maneuver and comfortable to operate.
A comfortable and spacious working place is provided by a well-ventilated cabin. The cabin combines fatigue-free work with high performance. The powerful heating and air conditioning system helps ensure the operator is comfortable inside. The cab was ergonomically designed to give a bird's eye view of all of the controls, adding to the unit's overall safety. A CD player and an MP3 player put the finishing touches on providing the nice atmosphere which Hyundai equipment are reputed to have.
