HERCU 70D SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Hercu 70D is a diesel-powered internal combustion forklift engineered for demanding material handling applications in rough terrain environments. Powered by an 8045 E diesel engine producing 79.2 horsepower at 2,500 rpm, this machine delivers 244.1 cubic inches of displacement for reliable performance and fuel efficiency. The forklift features a robust load capacity of 15,432.4 pounds with a standardized 23.7-inch load center, making it suitable for heavy-duty lifting operations across diverse industrial and construction settings. The machine's two-section mast system enables a maximum fork height of 10.9 feet, with impressive lift speeds reaching 68.9 feet per minute and lower speeds of 59.1 feet per minute for controlled descent operations. The mast incorporates 6-degree forward tip and 10-degree rearward tip capabilities, enhancing operational flexibility. Pneumatic tire construction provides superior traction and shock absorption on uneven surfaces, while the forklift maintains a tight 10.5-foot turning radius for improved maneuverability in confined spaces. Dimensionally, the 70D measures 11.7 feet in length to fork face with an overall width of 7.7 feet, operating height of 8.8 feet with mast lowered, and overhead guard height of 7.6 feet. The 7.3-foot wheelbase combined with dual rear wheels and quad front wheels ensures stability during loaded operations. Operating at a maximum speed of 12.5 miles per hour, the forklift achieves an operating weight of 20,944 pounds with 7.9 inches of ground clearance, providing excellent stability and obstacle navigation capabilities for demanding material handling environments.
