Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a leading construction equipment manufacturer, today announced that it unveiled twelve small and medium models of 9-series diesel forklift ranging from 2.2 tons to 5.0 tons, the company said in its press release.
 
The forklift enables operators to safely load and unload goods with a monitor that displays the weight of goods, the slope of all directions, and the angle between the ground surface and the mast in real time. Other features in the new models include high visibility LED lamps and rear cameras which are installed to prevent rear-end collisions, OPSS (Operator Presence Sensing System) to prevent unforeseen accidents by automatically activating brakes when operators leave the operating cabin, and Diagnostic System that helps operators monitor conditions and the replacement period of expendables of the forklift.
 
The 9-series diesel forklifts have recorded an average annual sales growth of 30% since 2009. A winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2012, the 9-Series forklift has also been recognized in the market as an innovative and excellent unit.
