New turbo engine
Hubtex optimizes four-way forklift series
The newly redesigned DQ 45-X four-way sideloader from Hubtex operates quietly and with low emissions. At its heart is the low-emission, low-noise turbo engine. It is designed to impress with intelligent vehicle control and low energy consumption.
Thanks to its all-wheel drive with all-terrain soft tires, the DQ 45-X is well suited for outdoor use. Greater comfort in the driver's cab and easier maintenance are further new features with which Hubtex has optimized this vehicle series.
The DQ 45-X from Hubtex is used as a universal forklift with a load capacity of up to 4.5 tons for handling and transporting long goods and pallets, for example for loading and unloading trucks, in narrow aisles or block storage. The vehicle also copes well with uneven ground conditions thanks to its all-wheel drive with EL tires. The four-way steering from Hubtex also enables a tight turning circle and short changeover times from longitudinal to transverse travel and vice versa. For improved manoeuvrability and smooth transport during goods handling, the DQ 45-X also has a stabilization assistance system: it prevents unwanted rocking movements during abrupt braking and automatically activates the parking brake when changing direction and when the vehicle is stationary. The system has now been further optimized, particularly with regard to stability when driving lengthways and cornering.
Three different driving modes - Eco, Sensitive and Speed - can be selected depending on the work requirements. Its low energy consumption ensures that exhaust emissions are further reduced and fuel consumption is cut to 4.8 liters per operating hour compared to six liters for the predecessor model in the factory test. The load sensing system also guarantees an economical driving style. Thanks to the automatic speed increase, the hydraulic system is only supplied with the exact amount of energy required. The heart of the DQ 45-X is the low-emission, low-noise turbo engine from manufacturer Hatz. It has an oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter that meets the criteria of the EPA Tier 4 final and EURO Stage 5 emissions standards. Compared to the previous engine, emissions have been reduced by up to 30 percent. A compact engine is used, which achieves a maximum output of 42 kilowatts.
