Hyundai Forklifts Australia has added four new models 110D-7E, 130D-7E, 140D-7E and 160D-7E to its range.

The forklifts have load capacities between 11t and 16t which is an improvement on its previous range of maximum 8t capacity.

According to Hyundai Forklifts, the forklift models have a Cummins diesel engine, the QSB6.7, which provides 119kW of power. This six-cylinder engine is said to meet Tier III emission standards and can take the truck up to a speed of 35km/h.

Hyundai says the driver can use a switch to select one of two driving modes, the 'STP' mode, where the truck saves fuel during light work and in 'Power' mode where full power is available for heavy loads or work on difficult terrain.
