TELEHANDLERS
AND FORKLIFTS
Hyundai believes that serviceability is key, and has added new features to their Diesel Trucks that allow quick and easy servicing.
Environmentally friendly engines reduce the noise levels in the operator's cabin considerably, along with outside exhaust gas levels, to make simultaneous indoor and outdoor operations possible. The auto cruise (or cruise control) button allows the operator travel at a constant speed, while reducing fuel consumption during trips. The front window has been designed to give the operator maximum visibility for safe operation, while traveling through the worksite.
"Operator's are being asked to work longer hours and increase their productivity, while maintaining the same level of safety and awareness as before," says Leone.

"Whether loading ships, moving bricks, or simply stacking and filling racks in a warehouse, operator performance is the key to success in any job. Our product provides operators with an environment that allows them to achieve that performance."
Hyundai believes that serviceability is key, and has added new features to their Diesel Trucks that allow quick and easy servicing. The application of the one-touch, hydraulically powered, tilting-type cabin allows maintenance work to be done easily and efficiently. The 7E Series forklift features the Engine Control Module (ECM), which instantly checks and analyzes engine conditions using the engine's Electronic Service Tool. This allows for quick and immediate maintenance, reducing downtime and getting your operator right back to work.
The current market requires machines that can be used in various applications. You need power, strength and size, but most of all you need control. The 7E Series allows the operator to maneuver the forklift in even the tightest of areas by reducing the turning radius and providing the ability to climb incline grades of up to 15.4 degrees while carrying cargo. With the turbo-charged Tier 3 Cummins QSB 6.7 Engine provides optimal power to the 7E Series forklift. Power also has been added to the forklift's lifting capacity with its Power Lift.
"When a potential customer is making his purchasing decision, we want him to think about five things power, performance, comfort, serviceability and profit," says Leone. "With all the obstacles a customer is facing right now in the market, Hyundai is committed to providing the best product out there, proving a wise purchasing decision was made when that customer thought Hyundai."
