Pre-CeMAT press meeting
18 March 2014
CeMAT Premiere: Hyundai (HHIE) presents new
180D-9 18-tonne forklift with MTU (Benz) engine
for the first time.
World premiere on the Hyundai stand: The 180D-9 heavyduty forklift will be shown for the first time with Stage IV
engine. In the heavy-duty forklift range, Hyundai Heavy
Industries offers forklifts with loading capacities from 11
t to 16 t for a 600 mm load centre distance and from 18 to
25 t for a load centre distance of 1,200 mm.
Other high-tech exhibits include the Hyundai 110D-7A and its big brother,
the 160D-7A. Where components are concerned, only the highest quality
will do – with this in mind the machines are fitted with a Cummins engine
complete with ZF torque converter and Kessler axle. The Cummins QSB 6.7
engines in both these forklifts comply with stage IIIB emission regulations without the need for particle filters but through a combination of Bosch
common-rail high-pressure injection and a turbocharger with variable
geometry (adjustable guide vanes). A low-maintenance catalytic converter
is necessary to achieve the prescribed exhaust emission values.
Comfortable cab improved yet again
Heavy-duty forklifts operate in particularly challenging environments, so the
driver safety and comfort is paramount.
Hyundai machines boast a
spacious cab with good visibility and generous headroom and legroom. The
proportional levers for controlling the pallet carrier, the fork position and
other ancillary functions are particularly precise. Many standard features in
the cab (air conditioning, radio/MP3 player, now with USB connection) can
now be complimented by an air-cushioned comfort seat as an optional
extra.
Mounting the cab on silent blocks effectively keeps vibrations and noise
away from the driver. The cab’s large windows make it easier to monitor
loads and the area around the vehicle. The wide view pallet carriers also
have good visibility which contributes to the improved safety of the
machine and its driver. Triplex masts are available for lifting heights up to
7,000 mm.

Safety first!
HHIE equips all forklifts with the Operator Presence Sensing System
(OPSS). This system offers the following safety functions:


Automatically engages the handbrake if the driver leaves the machine
and the travel direction selector is in the neutral position.
Prevents the mast from moving if the driver is not in the driving seat.
The standard equipment includes a reversing camera - as an option, up to
four additional cameras can be installed and linked to the central display.
Operators can also order equipment such as a wheel position indicator and
weighing mechanism - making it easy to adapt to specific conditions of use
and loads.
The cooling system for axles, brakes, engine and hydraulic system is very
powerful and even at high ambient temperatures ensures that the most
important components in the drive train and hydraulic system are kept at
the optimum temperature. Temperature-controlled hydraulic-powered
viscous fans react immediately and at all times adapt their speed to the
cooling power actually required.
On the 18- and 25-tonne machines, demand-controlled Bosch-Rexroth
variable displacement pumps are used, and together with the electrically
controlled manifolds these pumps ensure that devices are supplied
optimally and adequately with precisely the right amount of oil required.
The load-sensing concept saves fuel, eases the strain on components and is
particularly precise.
Increasing reliability
Maximum reliability is paramount with all Hyundai forklifts. Especially with
large-size forklifts, which are often used as standalone machines,
unplanned breakdowns are not wanted. All maintenance and service points
are brought together centrally and can easily be checked in one place from
the ground – meaning less ‘down time. More extensive maintenance work
is made easier by the tilting cab. It provides access to all the service points
for hydraulics, gears and front axle. Permanently installed Minimess
connections make it easier to check oil pressures in the system.

Extended warranty for all forklifts from 5 to 25 t
HHIE offers an optional warranty extension for all forklifts from 5 to 25 t.
Customers who would like to increase the standard two years (or 2,000
operating hours) can purchase the ‘Extended Driveline Warranty’ for all
large-size machines. This is available for various time scales - 36 months
(5,000 operating hours), 48 months (6,000 operating hours) or 60 months
(7,500 operating hours). Hyundai forklift operators can therefore safely
calculate the machine runtime even in demanding work environments.

Info box Hyundai Heavy Industries Co
Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. is a South Korean company with its head
office in Ulsan, South Korea. The company is among the top ten in the
KOSPI share index. It was founded in 1973 by Chung Ju-yung and is one of
the world’s largest dockyards. The dockyard manufactures tankers, bulk
carriers, container ships as well as gas carriers and chemical tankers. The
company is involved in the following fields: shipbuilding, refineries,
construction machinery/forklift trucks, offshore & engineering, power plant
construction, marine engines/marine offshore equipment, electrical
equipment, wind power plants, financial services. Since 1985, the group
has been manufacturing construction machinery (hydraulic excavators up to
120 t in weight, wheel loaders, wheeled excavators, mini diggers, backhoe
loaders, skid steer loaders and front forklift trucks up to 25 t). The
construction machinery is manufactured in factories in Korea, China, India
and Brazil. 59% of construction machinery sales are attributable to
hydraulic excavators, 15% to fork lift trucks and 11% to wheel loaders. HHI
is already the market leader in hydraulic excavators in 13 key construction
machinery sub-markets, including China, Korea, New Zealand, Russia and
Brazil. At the end of 2014 the engine works established jointly with the USAmerican engine manufacturer Cummins will go into operation in South
Korea, which, when finally completed, will manufacture more than 50,000
engines a year for HHI construction machinery and industrial vehicles.
