Hyundai Construction Equipment’s has launched the newest of its all-round heavy-duty diesel forklifts – the compact but powerful 160D-9L. The new truck fills the gap between the 160D-9 and 180D-9 and offers an increased load capacity, extra safety, cost-effectiveness and operator comfort.
The new 160D-9L has a lift capacity of 16000 kg’s (16 tonne) and a load centre of 1200 mm – the chassis is the same size as the 18-tonne 180D-9. Another advantage is that it is 30 cm shorter than the 180D-9, which is a huge advantage, where working space is an issue.
The machine is driven by a high-powered Cummins QSB6.7 Engine 122 kW / 2,300 rpm engine, which offers optimised fuel consumption. The machine is designed for heavy-duty applications to move large, heavy material.
The Cummins stage IV compliant engine is ultra-low in emissions – it uses a diesel oxidation catalyst and a selective catalytic reactor (SCR) where ad blue is used as an additive to achieve stage IV emissions. This combination of DOC and SCR reduces down-time and in turn makes it ‘hassle free for the operator’.
Other advantages is greater acceleration, improved gradeability and a faster speed on any tough terrain.
High technology systems
The combination of a ZF full-automatic transmission and a Kessler front axle makes the 160D-9L easy to handle and shifting gear is a smooth operation.
The machine is equipped with a load sensing hydraulic system – the Bosch Rexroth variable displacement pumps ensure that the machine power is used more efficiently and therefore helps reduce fuel consumption.
Ergonomic and productivity features
The newly designed cabin provides excellent all-round visibility and plenty of space. The cabin also benefits from a reduction in noise levels.
The position of the pedals has been revised and the steering column can also be adjusted to offer the operator a smoother drive and ultimate comfort.
Advanced safety features
A speed limiter comes as standard which is easy to program enabling smooth and safe operation.
A load indicator, an optional extra, checks pressure in the lift cylinder to calculate the weight on the forks. The load is indicated on the display and if an overload occurs the operator is alerted.
For triplex masts the optimised lift cylinder arrangement provides wider visibility and panoramic mirror improves the view when reversing. A rear-view camera, with up to four cameras, is also available. The 160D-9L benefits from improved mirror positioning.
The advanced LCD colour monitor keeps the operator fully informed. Also when the operator is reversing a rear view camera (optional) is activated automatically.
To prevent the machine being operated by nonqualified personnel and to protect from theft there is an engine start limit feature where personal activation with an entrance code is needed. Other theft prevention measures include a fuel lock hatch.
Fast and easy maintenance
The 160D-9L benefits from an electro-hydraulic tilting cabin system which allows trouble-free access to all main components and makes servicing of all power train components quick and easy.
The 160D-9L is fitted with an advanced LCD digital colour monitor which keeps the operator fully informed. The engine and cooling systems are protected from clogging by rear tyre covers and if the machine is working in a harsh and dusty environment an additional undercover protective plate is available as an option.
Mast options include 3 – 7 metre Duplex and 3 – 7 metre Triplex masts.
The new Hyundai forklift range comes with a two-year 3000 hours full warranty. Extended warranty packages are available.
The air conditioning system contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant HFC-134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430). The system contains 0.55 kg of refrigerant which has a CO2 equivalent of 0.7865 metric tonne.
