Low emission forklifts

Doosan has extended its powerful new 9-Series range of Euro Stage V compliant IC engine counterbalance forklift trucks with its heavy lift D70S-9 range.

Powering the D70S-9 is the new fuel-efficient DM03V(A) Stage V Doosan-built diesel engine, bringing benefits of ultra-low emissions and lower operating costs allowing operators to achieve a saving of almost half a litre of fuel per hour, according to Doosan.

Greater efficiency

Importantly, Doosan’s latest engine design is fully compliant with Euro Stage V regulations and is fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

In normal operation, regeneration of the DPF takes place automatically during driving helping to maximise uptime and ensuring uninterrupted all-round performance.

A cost-saving standard feature of the new range is the multi torque function, allowing the operator to select the performance most suited to the task. ECO mode minimises fuel consumption, cutting down on unnecessary acceleration.

High mode increases power output to match the demands of heavy-duty work and standard mode maintains output at levels suited to everyday tasks.

The new engine also provides high torque at low RPM, facilitating improved forklift acceleration, drive and climb performance making the trucks ideal for loading and unloading using ramps.

In-cab air quality has been enhanced too. By introducing positive air pressure within the cabin and installing two internal filters the driver is protected against the harmful effects of dusty working environments.

Doosan said that maintenance costs on the D70S-9 are dramatically reduced, with hours between servicing double those of the previous model when using upgraded lubricants – for transmission (1000 hrs to 2000 hrs) and engine (500 hrs to 1000 hrs).
