Make light work of heavy jobs
October 1st 2007 Hyster has launched a new generation H8.00-16.00XM-6
Series, a 14 strong range designed to handle heavier
applications
Delivering performance and
productivity in the toughest of
environments, the H8.00-16.00XM-6
features a larger 6.7 litre Cummins QSB6.7
diesel engine with a performance of 155 Hp /
116 kW @ 2300 rpm. The clean running
engine conforms to the EC Tier 3 emissions
regulations for NRMM (Non-Road Mobile
Machinery). An LPG version is also available
with the Cummins 6B-LPG-Plus engine, with
the same 155 Hp power output.
The truck is suitable for operating in
environments from -18ºC up to 50ºC ambient
for normal operations, or up to 45ºC for a
heavy duty operation, thanks to a new
cooling system.
A new generously sized aluminium
radiator block consists of four individual
sections: Charge air cooler, engine coolant,
brake and hydraulic oil and transmission oil,
and also features a cleaner air entry, now
located at the top of the counterweight.
Its cooling air-intake grill is also hinged for
easy access to clean the radiator. All these
features contribute to maintaining
productivity and reliability in arduous
applications.
Comfort and safety
Hyster's 'Vista' cab, incorporates a range of
standard ergonomic features, designed to
achieve maximum productivity from every
shift with the operator compartment
positioned 'mid-high' and forward for optimal
visibility on the forks.
An air-suspension seat and air-conditioning
are options and the dash display is positioned
to the driver's right-hand side, to avoid
distraction and maximise forward visibility.
Modern styling introduces a downward
sloping hood-line and low-profile rear
counterweight, with integrated fenders and
LED rear lights. The exhaust muffler is
mounted further to the rear and the inlet air
pre-cleaner is now low-mounted and is a
maintenance-free 'Sy-Klone' (with internal
spinning vane). The air-conditioning system
is also mounted at the rear cab roof. All of
which enhance rearward visibility.
Lower costs
The range has a number of standard features
to manage truck operating costs, including
oil-immersed 'wet discs' brakes, durable
driveline; robust drive axle and advanced
auto-shift transmission system with engine
and transmission protection systems as
standard. An engine shutdown function is
also included and to minimise service time
and cost, the cab features a powered tilt
facility so the clean running engine has easy
service access at all times. More articles from Hyster Europe: |
