Hyundai is using the Bauma Munich exhibition as a platform to launch three new high-performance diesel counterbalance trucks to the latest 9-series of machines including a brand new heavy-line diesel forklift – the 160D-9.
Hyundai’s design philosophy The new additions to the 9-series forklift range provide optimal safety, are environmentally friendly, efficient, ergonomically designed and suited for many different lifting applications from wood to tiles to concrete and rubble bags and many more outdoor uses. The complete Hyundai range now encompasses machines with a lift capacity of 1500 kg (1.5 tonnes) up to 25000 kg (25 tonnes).
At Bauma the following new forklifts will see their world premiere:
1. 35DA-9 – Diesel forklift (Stage 3B)
2. 45D-9 – Diesel forklift (Stage IV)
3. 160D-9 – Heavy diesel forklift (Stage IV)
The 35DA-9 has a lift capacity of 3500 kg (3.5 tonne) with a load centre of 500 mm – up until now the largest machine in this range was the 33D-9 with a lift capacity of 3300 kg’s with a 500 mm load centre. The new 35DA-9 is a compact workhorse and a valuable addition to the range and sits comfortably alongside the 25D-9 2.5 tonne, 30D-9 3 tonne and the 33D-9 3.3 tonne machines.
The machines in the 25-35D(A)-9 range are all driven by a high powered Kubota V3307 50kW/2,300 rpm engine for heavy application. The Stage IIIB Kubota engines are ultralow in emissions and use only a diesel oxidation catalyst. Avoiding the use of a DPF filter reduces down-time and no additives are used which in turn makes it ‘hassle free for the operator’.
The 45D-9 has a lift capacity of 4500 kg’s (4.5 tonne) with a load center of 600 mm. The model is powered by a stage IV Cummins QSF3.8 engine, where it differs from its -9A predecessor.
The new 160D-9 has a lift capacity of 16000 kg’s (16 tonne) with a load center of 600 mm and is the latest heavy-line machine in the range, which also includes the 110D-9 and the 130D-9. The model has a new digital display similar to the display in the smaller range of machines.
Included in the models in this range is a load sensing hydraulic system to reduce fuel consumption. The range is powered by a stage IV Cummins QSB6.7 engine. The cabin has been upgraded and includes full automatic air-conditioning, a front, top and rear wiper, a tilting cabin and a hydraulic pilot system. The blue tooth hands free system comes as an option.
Ergonomic and productivity features on the 110-160D-9
The newly designed cabin for the larger trucks provides excellent allround visibility and plenty of space ensuring the operator is comfortable in his working environment. The position of the pedals has been revised to offer the operator a smoother drive.
Advanced safety features
With all machines in the new range with the exception of the 22– 33-9E models, a speed limiter comes as standard which is easy to program via the machines display monitor enabling smooth and safe operation of the vehicle. A load sensor, which is 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 by a warning sound and the display monitor will show the weight of the load flashing red.
An indicator for the machine roll and pitch is available on the display on machines up to 5 tonnes. An auto tilt levelling system is also now included on the new range from 22- 33D-9 models as standard – this function returns the mast of the machines to an upright vertical position with the push of a button.
