Flexilift Australia has added a 16-tonne Hyundai diesel forklift to its stock list to meet the demands of docks and ports, the railway sector, heavy transport and logistics, manufacturing, mining and resources, container handling, and general yard operators.
The Hyundai 160D-7 is one of several large diesel-powered Hyundai vehicles earmarked for the industrial market since Flexilift signed as an exclusive agent in Australia for the Korean company.
Apart from its huge handling capacity, the Hyundai 160D-7 also has many ergonomic and safety features to meet the needs of operators and relevant workplace safety authorities in all types of working conditions, weather and terrain.
A technology unique to Hyundai forklifts is included in this unit — a wet disc brake system. Use of a wet disc type brake improves brake performance to a high degree.
Generally, brake pedal effort is improved by about 45 per cent at 20 per cent slope and wet disc brakes have maintenance intervals about five times longer than conventional dry braking systems.
Powered by a 115.5kW, 2200rpm six cylinder turbo-charged engine, 160D-7 is built for power but does not sacrifice reliability and economy. This engine meets EPA Tier 2 and EU stage 2 emission regulation.
Full-automatic transmission gives easy, convenient handling and soft, smooth shifting. The operator can select two kinds of automatic modes.
By utilising a mast tilting angle of 15º forward and 12º backward, an operator can perform loading and unloading jobs safely and rapidly.
The unit can achieve 33.1 per cent gradeability and an unloaded travel speed of 33.7km/h, as it is powered by a high-output engine and can maintain these levels on most tough terrains or slopes.
A hypoid type planetary reduction drive axle smoothly delivers desired torque to the drive wheels.
All gauges are user-friendly and the monitor panel is water resistant. An adjustable steering column handle is adjustable to suit the operator’s body shape. An easily adjustable suspension seat is designed with human engineering in mind for extreme comfort.
Other features include a muffler rain cover, durable steering axle, a fitted protector for hub bolts, large footboard and handle, electrically monitored air quality, automatic self locking, easy check oil level gauge, central electric controllers, large engine hood and an easy-change double air cleaner.
