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 upon and working with heavy duty equipment. The efficiency and power offered by the units keep cost of operation low and offer the very best conditions for efficient work. These types of equipment can excel in the most tough environments.
Offering the needed 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 are able to 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 as well.
The operator is able to use a switch to be able to pick 1 of 2 driving modes. While in "Power" mode, full power is available for work on tough terrain or heavy loads. In the "STP" mode, the trucks can save lots of fuel during light-duty work. Moreover, simply by pressing a switch, the operator could automatically maintain a chosen 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 machine simple to maneuver and comfortable to use.
A spacious and comfortable working place is offered by a well-ventilated cabin. The cabin combines high performance with fatigue-free work. The powerful air conditioning and heating system helps ensure the operator is comfortable inside. The cab was ergonomically designed to provide 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 which Hyundai machines are supposed to have.
