Heavy Forklifts
With their new series of heavy forklift trucks, Hyundai is targeting a new customer base. A variety of businesses, from the natural stone and concrete industries, to the steel business, the transportation of heavy goods in the ports and the railway sector are all working with and depending on heavy duty equipment. The power and efficiency offered by the models keep operational costs low and offer the best conditions for efficient work. These types of machines could excel in the nearly all 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 kinds of forklifts can 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 also offers great acceleration.
To be able to choose 1 of 2 driving modes, the operator can use a switch. While in "Power" mode, full power is available for work on difficult terrain or heavy loads. In the "STP" mode, the trucks could save a lot of fuel during light-duty work. Additionally, simply by pressing a switch, the operator can 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 machinery easy to maneuver and comfortable to operate.
A comfortable and spacious working place is provided by a well-ventilated cabin. The cabin combines high performance with fatigue-free work. The powerful air conditioning and heating system helps make sure that the operator is comfortable inside. The cab was designed ergonomically to offer 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 enjoyable atmosphere that Hyundai machinery are reputed to have.
