Hyundai Material Handling has released new diesel and electric forklift models for the North American market.

The new offerings include the battery-powered B-X series that takes advantage of lithium-ion battery technology to provide longer run times, reduced charging times and zero emissions.

The B-X forklifts come with a lithium battery and charger, and an optional lead acid battery.

The company unveiled its new 9V series of forklifts, which includes more durable transmissions and drive axles and enhanced driving comfort. 

The company says its 25/30D 35DN-9V diesel pneumatic forklift series features a Hyundai diesel engine that meets all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 regulations.

The 9V series is available in 5,000, 6,000, and 7,000 lb. (2.3 T, 2.7 T and 3.2 T) capacity, as well as the heavy-duty 22,000 lb. (10 T) capacity 100D-9V with a Cummins diesel engine.

Hyundai Material Handling also announced refreshed models of its LC-9 (LP Cushion) series as well as its Class III products, which includes electric and manual pallet jacks and straddle stackers.

Hyundai Material Handling chief operating officer Lewis Byers says: “We’re extremely pleased and proud to offer these new state-of-the-art, high-quality products.

“Our new series exemplifies Hyundai Material Handling’s commitment to fulfilling the needs of our dealers and their customers.”
