As work hours have become longer and operators spend more time in their machines, operator comfort has come to the forefront of every purchasing decision. Hyundai has met this need by designing cabins packed with ergonomic features, designed with the operator's comfort in mind. The new design is aimed at reducing operator fatigue, while increasing efficiency, resulting in maximum work output.
One such feature is the centralized design of the dashboard in the cabin. This design puts all the instrumentation in one location, making these instruments easily accessible to the operator. With adjustable steering wheel and column, plus a full-suspension seat, the operator will have comfortable and plenty of room, no matter his size. Regardless of the environment outside, the operator can adjust the cabin's air conditioning or heat to find the perfect comfort zone.

JLG Awarded Contract from U.S. Army
JLG Industries Inc. has received two orders for about $51 million from the U.S. Army to build a total of 311 JLG All Terrain Lifter Army System (ATLAS II) telescopic forklifts. The first shipments of these products are slated to support U.S. Army logistics in Afghanistan.
"The ATLAS II telescopic forklift can reach over obstacles to place loads, weighing up to 10,000 pounds, into trucks or shipping containers," says Denny Buterbaugh, JLG's vice president-government products and programs. "The tremendous versatility of these rugged machines, combined with their exceptional rough terrain capability and JLG's history of quality performance in the field were three of the factors why the U.S. Army chose JLG for its rough terrain material handling equipment needs."
ATLAS II rough terrain forklifts boast significant performance enhancements over the original ATLAS design. These improvements include reduced emissions and the addition of several multifunctional attachments. Manufactured in McConnellsburg, Pa., the ATLAS II machines will supplement the 2,500 original ATLAS units being utilized by the U.S. Army in operations around the world.
