Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a leading construction equipment manufacturer, today announced it unveiled the new 30 ton forklift meeting Tier 4 final emission regulations for the first time among Korean earthmover manufacturers.

Equipped with a selective catalytic reduction unit, the new 30 ton forklift engine can slash NOx emissions. The 278 hp engine featuring the new fuel system HPCR (High Pressure Common Rail) also improved its fuel efficiency to up to 12.5 percent compared to the 25 ton forklifts. The new forklift’s ergonomically designed seat enhances operator comfort and the load indicator enables operators to check the exact load weight. Clients can also have HHI’s proprietary remote management system, Hi-Mate, as an option for the new forklift.

Hi-Mate gives operators access from anywhere to vital service and diagnostic information for the machine. It is a GPS and GSI (Geographic Information System)-based technology that allows you to track and monitor the earthmovers and retrieve data from the machine at any time in any location.
