Hangcha forklifts, diesel, gasoline, electric

Hangcha loaders are produced at China's largest plant for the production of special equipment - Hangcha Group Company, which has been operating since 1956. The plant produces a large number of different loaders - electric, with internal combustion engines. The plant produces traction machines and other special equipment. The Hancha loader is manufactured with Japanese components and components. The line of manufactured loading machines differs in the lifting height of loads and the design of the displacement mechanism. Connectable grippers can move loads of any shape and weight. The working mast on any machine is protected by special safety valves. The machines are in demand for handling cargo in open areas or indoor spaces. Hangcha forklifts have performed well in small warehouses, ship holds, and railway cars. Chinese forklifts lift and transport loads weighing from 1 ton to 45 tons.

Specifications

The designer's loading machines are divided into three subtypes: with gasoline, electric or diesel engines. Diesel engines are installed on models with a hydraulic system, in which load perception is carried out with maximum precision. These models are famous for their economical consumption and minimal gas emissions. Diesel engines are placed in two subcategories of models: R series with load capacity limits of 1...16 tons; series A with a lifting capacity range of 1.5…3.8 tons.

Gasoline engines

Gasoline engines are installed on cars with a unique appearance. Gasoline loading units are made with a long wheelbase to ensure machine balance during work at high heights.

Electric motors

Electric motors with three support mechanisms have three impellers (two at the front, one at the rear). The drive wheel is set by the driver. This arrangement of wheels provides stability and maneuverability when unloading at a height of up to 800 cm.

Cabin

The cabin is very simple. It is made of four metal bars extending from the base of the frame. There is a protective roof at the top. There are no side walls, since the machines are used in warm rooms without precipitation. The front side pillars have two rear view mirrors. The driver's seat is quite soft with a comfortable location.

Fuel

Gasoline and diesel models operate by burning fuel. Their operation requires from 5 to 10 liters of fuel to carry out work for one working hour.

Japanese "hearts" of NS loaders

Today, NS loaders are also supplied to Russia mainly with Japanese and American engines. According to Dmitry Dyachenko, head of the marketing and development department of MaxiSklad, the official distributor of Zhejiang Hangcha Engineering Machinery., Ltd in Russia, the most in demand are forklifts with a lifting capacity of 1.5-2.5 tons. Therefore, we will tell you about the features power plants ISUZU, NISSAN, YANMAR, CUMMINS NS R series loaders with a load capacity from 1.0 to 3.5 tons. Diesel engines

Diesel forklifts are the most common in Russia. Designed for outdoor work. They are preferred because of their cost-effectiveness. After all, loaders usually work 8 hours a day, and sometimes 2-3 shifts a day. So fuel costs make up a significant portion of the total cost of maintaining a fleet of forklifts. And cost-effectiveness often becomes the most important competitive advantage. ISUZU C240 ​​Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 2369 cm3, - rated power 34.5 kW at 2500 rpm, - rated torque 139 N m at 1800 rpm. “Quiet” and, therefore, economical engine. There are 3 versions: C240PKJ - 17, C240PKJ - 20, C240PKJ - 30. The rated torque on the C240PKJ-30 is slightly reduced - 137.7 N m, but this diesel engine is the most economical. The C240PKJ-30 is also one of the most environmentally friendly. In terms of exhaust toxicity, it complies with EURO III A standards. It is best suited for daily continuous work, when the loader, as they say, “plows and plows.” CUMMINS A2300 Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 2300 cm3, - rated power 35 kW at 2600 rpm, - rated torque 150 Nm at 1600 rpm. Another “economy diesel”. Like the ISUZU C240PKJ-30, it complies with EURO III A standards. But this CUMMINS, unlike the ISUZU, has a slightly higher maximum torque - 150 Nm. So the performance of such a loader will be higher. CUMMINS B3.3 Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 3300 cm3, - rated power 48 kW at 2600 rpm, - rated torque 214 Nm at 1600 rpm. “A sports loader for professionals” - this is how the HC with CUMMINS B3.3 can be described. This diesel engine is the most powerful for loaders with a load capacity of up to 3.5 tons. Modifications RW1 and RW1B with a load capacity of 2.5 tons develop a traction force with a load of 26100 N, the lifting speed of the forks with a load reaches 580 mm/sec. Exhaust toxicity complies with EURO II standards. Due to increased fuel consumption, such a diesel engine is best suited for short-term, “emergency” work. YANMAR 4TNV94L Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 3054 cm3, - rated power 43 kW at 2500 rpm, - rated torque 205 Nm at 1000 rpm. This is a “muscular slow-moving vehicle.” On models RW6 and RW6B with a capacity of 2.5 tons with YANMAR 4TNV94L, the maximum towing force is 25,000 N - almost the same as the “record” CUMMINS B3.3. The lifting speed of the forks with a load is the same - 580 mm/sec. But the torque reaches a maximum of 205 Nm already at 1000 rpm. It is clear that this engine is designed for intensive work at low speeds. In terms of exhaust toxicity, the diesel engine complies with EURO II standards. NISSAN TD27 Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 2663 cm3, - rated power 44 kW at 2500 rpm, - rated torque 172 N m at 1600 rpm. The lifting speed of forks with a load on loaders with this engine is as high as that of the “athlete” with CUMMINS B3.3., but the tractive effort is 12-14% less. The engine complies with the EURO II standard. Fuel consumption is higher than ISUZU C240PKJ-30 and CUMMINS A2300. Gasoline engines

Gasoline engines have an important feature - they can run on liquefied gas. This reduces noise levels as well as exhaust emissions compared to gasoline and diesel engines. After all, gas differs from gasoline and diesel fuel in that it burns more completely. Therefore, a loader with a gas engine can be considered to some extent universal. It is effective outdoors, and at the same time can be used indoors. A gas engine is the best option if the same loaders have to alternately work either outdoors or in a closed warehouse. NISSAN H20 Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 1982 cm3, - rated power 36.8 kW at 2600 rpm, - rated torque 152 Nm at 1600 rpm. Installed on NS loaders with a lifting capacity of up to 2.5 tons. It features low fuel consumption. NISSAN H25 Main characteristics: - 4 cylinders, - displacement - 2472 cm3, - rated power 44 kW at 2500 rpm, - rated torque 179 N m at 1600 rpm. A more powerful option is installed on gasoline HC loaders with a capacity of 2 to 3.5 tons. Since switching to gas slightly reduces engine power, the NISSAN H25 is preferable to the NISSAN H20 for such a transformation. From 2008, instead of the NISSAN H20 and H25 engines, the more economical NISSAN K21 and K25 with approximately the same characteristics will be installed.

NS forklifts with higher load capacities use ISUZU and CUMMINS, as well as Chinese engines. On the heaviest ones - 18 tons - only CUMMINS QSB6.7 or 6BTA5.9 are used. About OKAMURA Almost all of the listed engines (except NISSAN TD27) can be equipped with the Japanese OKAMURA hydrodynamic transmission. This “floating” type hydraulic transmission is connected to the loader frame through special shock absorbers. The advantages of such mounting are obvious: vibration from a running unit is not transmitted to the housing. Zhejiang Hangcha Engineering Machinery., Ltd was the first Chinese manufacturer to install vibration-isolated transmissions on its forklifts. Has the choice been made? Each engine is designed for certain operating conditions that are optimal for it. When making a decision, naturally, you always have to take into account your own experience and listen to the recommendations of managers - after all, they are professionals. If, however, there is no clear solution, there is only one thing left to do - personally check the loaders and drive them around the site. This opportunity is provided by MaxiSklad. At the central warehouse in Moscow there are always two to three hundred NS loaders with various engines.
