ride-onindustrialcounterbalanced

Product summary
The Hyundai 9U-Series 3-wheel electric forklift is a 48 V counterbalanced truck engineered for tight aisles and container handling, offering improved efficiency, durability and operator control versus the previous series. Force-feedback steering enhances manoeuvrability and operator feel. The 9U-Series is 100% Li‑Ion ready: optional Li‑Ion batteries enable extended continuous operation with fast and intermittent charging and require minimal maintenance (15,000 operational hours warranty / 5 years).

Key highlights

• Load capacity: 1,500 kg and 2,000 kg
• Load center: 500 mm
• Lifting heights: 2,700–7,000 mm
• Battery options: 48 V / 440 Ah and 48 V / 510 Ah
• 100% Li‑Ion ready; Li‑Ion option available (practically maintenance-free; 15,000 operational hours warranty for 5 years)
• Force-feedback steering for improved operator control

Main features and technologies

• Dual drive motor system: two independently controlled drive motors prevent wheel spin when traction differs and ensure strong drive performance on contaminated or uneven floors.
• Dual MiCOM ZAPI controller: redundant processing with IP65 protection, optimized drive control and left/right split architecture to reduce energy consumption.
• Robust AC drive and pump motors (Prestolite): enclosed AC motors offering high torque, extended maintenance intervals and IP43 protection.
• Ergonomic operator area: adjustable tiller/handle, easy-to-operate levers and pedals, suspension seat and a large multifunctional cluster for operator comfort and productivity.
• 4.3-inch LCD color monitor: graphic display for speed, travel direction, operating hours, load indicator and three selectable performance modes; multi-language support up to 11 languages.
• Curve Control: limits travel speed according to turning radius for smooth and precise turns.
• Operator Presence Sensing System (OPSS): locks hydraulic lift/tilt and travel when operator is not seated.
• Anti Roll Back System: prevents rollback on ramps and improves ramp-start capability.
