EASY-TO-READ DIAGNOSTICS The technician can easily diagnose truck conditions using only a cable and laptop. WIDE OPENING ENGINE COVER Improves access to engine and maintenance components for inspection or maintenance. ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY DOOSAN® DIESEL ENGINES Doosan® diesel engines are cutting-edge. Loaded with the latest technology, these engines are powerful, clean and quiet-running, making them some of the best diesel engines available anywhere. WELL-SITUATED HYDRAULIC LEVERS No need to reach or hold the arm in an unnatural position, reduces operator fatigue. 3 SELECTABLE PERFORMANCE MODES This engine comes with three selectable performance modes: (ECO/STD/HIGH) • In ECO mode the truck is set for optimal fuel economy • In standard mode, the truck is set for normal output • High-performance mode increases the power output of the truck for tough working applications or carrying heavier loads OPTIMIZED COOLING CAPACITY The integrated super duty cooling system offers the outstanding heat reduction of heavy-duty radiators without the added costs. • Dual-module radiator allows truck to run much cooler • Transmission oil flow increased by 60% • A newly designed heavy-duty fan increases airflow • Counterweight design increases airflow efficiency • Steel, lumber, stone, tile, or recycling: even the most grueling applications are covered by the advanced cooling system INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC APPLICATION PACKAGES Large-capacity diesel pneumatic tire forklifts offer you specialized packages for those extreme applications. Customize your truck to fit the job and improve efficiency. • The anti-dust package minimizes particulate buildup on the forklift. This is the preferred option for tough applications such as lumber and stone, steel, ceramic tiles, solid fertilizers, cotton, and recycling. • Our foundry package is recommended for customers who mainly operate trucks in high-temperature environments such as foundry (iron, aluminum, or nonferrous metals), casting, forging, and rolling. • The anti-corrosion package is recommended for high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Package minimizes damage to the forklift from being corroded by acid, moisture, or salt environments found in applications such as fisheries, ports, chemical processing and storage, sugar, and beverage.
