UniCarriers' new ZD30 series engine

UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) has started offering the ZD30 Tier 4 Advanced Turbo Diesel (ATD) engine series in its GO4 and FK Series forklift models.

The EPA/CARB-certified, advanced ZD30 engine delivers high power and increased efficiency with emission levels that fall below Tier 4 requirements. The ATD engine includes common rail fuel injection, a variable-geometry turbo charger, cooled exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel oxidation catalyst.

UCA stresses that the engine provides low emissions without using a diesel particulate filter. This results in enhanced productivity and lower fuel consumption.

Other claimed benefits of the ZD30 include its ability to maintain low noise levels during idle and at maximum travel speeds, and an electronic-controlled Quick Glow system for dependable cold weather starting.

"As UCA continues its efforts to be on the forefront of making our industry greener, we built an engine that could deliver powerful results without the harsh environmental impact," says Mark Porwit, director, product management, UniCarriers Americas. "The ZD30 series engines are rugged enough to handle any application with fuel efficiency that's difficult for the competition to match."

The ZD30 engine is available for new orders.
