HIGH CAPACITY FORKLIFT TRUCKS H16-18XM-12, H16-18XMS-12 STAGE IIIB

BUILT ON EXPERIENCE H16-18XM(S) DEVELOPMENT STORY The H16-18XM(S)-12 Series benets from Hyster’s long experience of designing and building high capacity forklift trucks. This is the 5th generation machine, since the H360A of 1951, and offers fast handling, reliable proven components, high productivity and represents an excellent return on investment.

EXTRA VALUE FEATURES The H16-18XM(S)-12 range represents impressive value, in a high-specication package: COMPACT H18XM-12 model features the same 3.75 m wheelbase as the H16XM-12. The compact “S” (short) H16XMS-12 and H18XMS-12 models, feature a shortened wheelbase of only 3.50 m, ideal for applications where operating space is restricted. PRODUCTIVE Lifting speeds (with the 172kW / 230hp Stage IIIA engine) are class leading: The practical 4-mode average speed is a fantastic 0.36 m/sec. Extremely stable machine with a weight of 26 to 31 tonnes, and a wheelbase of 3.75 m (3.50 m for ‘S’ models),...

STRENGTH & DURABILITY The H16-18XM(S)-12 features an immensely strong frame, with 16 mm thick members and massive front axle supports. The drive axle provides stability and durability; whilst the oil-immersed (wet) disc brakes reduce maintenance requirements. The S.O.H. TE13 or TE17-series 3-speed powershift transmissions feature the APC200 Soft-shift automatic gear shifting system, a transmission protection system and a protective forward-reverse shifting lock-out, which engages at above 5 km/h & 1400 rpm. Hyster’s ‘sandwich’ type steer axle, with a single cylinder and nonadjustable tie rods...

POWER & PERFORMANCE FAST HANDLING Lifting speeds are class-leading. The practical 4-mode average lifting speed (with the 172kW / 230hp Stage IIIA engine) are a fantastic 0.36 m/sec.* *Average of four lifting modes: › Unladen lift speed = 0.38 m/sec. › Fully laden lift speed = 0.33 m/sec. POWER PACKAGES STAGE IIIB ENGINE: For use mainly within EU (European Union) countries, trucks with Stage IIIB diesel engines have signicantly reduced exhaust gas emissions. Also by applying Hyster Intelligent Design criteria, these trucks are not only cleaner running but also more economical, achieving up to...

ERGONOMIC DESIGN The H16-18XM(S)-12 series features the now familiar Hyster ‘Vista’ cab, which offers the optimum ergonomic operator environment, and focuses on maximising driver comfort and visibility for maximum productivity. Large windows, tted with tinted safety glass, offer excellent all-round visibility. This is further enhanced in poor weather conditions by a fresh air inlet, sliding windows, an effective heater and defroster and wipers (with intermittent wipe function) and washers on front, top and rear screens. Responsive, fully hydraulic brakes and automotive type pedal layout further...

OUTSTANDING ALL-ROUND VISIBILITY The state-of-the-art operator compartment is mounted in a mid-high forward position for outstanding overall visibility. Operator visibility is also enhanced by the curved front window, the strong yet slim-line cab construction, the ‘wave pattern’ overhead guard, plus wipers on the front, top and rear screens. Wide-view rear view mirrors are tted inside the cab. The truck is available with a comprehensive set of road and work lights and an orange ashing beacon. See full details under Lights. The mast lift cylinders are rear-mounted (behind the mast channels) for...
