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 industries, 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 machines. The efficiency and power offered by the units keep operational costs low and provide the best conditions for economical work. These kinds of machines could excel in the most tough settings.
The Cummins diesel engines ranging from 162 horse-power to 250hp provides the required power on all of the large capacity units. 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 offers great acceleration too.
In order to pick 1 of 2 driving modes, the operator can use a switch. While in "Power" mode, full power is available for work on heavy loads or tough terrain. In the "STP" mode, the trucks could save lots of fuel during light-duty work. In addition, just by pressing a switch, the operator could automatically maintain a chosen speed without touching the accelerator pedal. This is an added fuel saving feature. The forklift's fully automatic transmission gently shifts through the gears, making the machine easy to maneuver and comfortable to use.
The well-ventilated cabin offers a comfortable and spacious working place. The cabin combines high performance with fatigue-free work. The powerful heating and air conditioning system helps ensure the operator is comfortable inside. 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. An MP3 player and a CD player put the finishing touches on giving the nice atmosphere that Hyundai machines are reputed to have.
