Updated truck range
16 April 2014
HC Forklifts UK has revealed its enhanced range of diesel and gas-powered forklift trucks and added new warehouse equipment.

HC Forklift UK’s portfolio includes the updated XF series, which now features heavy duty counterbalance machines ranging from 5-7t at a 600mm load centre. The complete range is made up of trucks with lifting capabilities from 1-7t. The 5-7t machines are available in diesel and LPG models.
The energy efficient trucks feature automatic parking brake and a revised seat position to provide the driver with a better line of sight. The driver enjoys a comfortable ride due to a rubber absorber fitted to the steering axle to reduce vibration.
The company’s updated 12-16t R series trucks have a 600mm load centre and are designed for high productivity, working in demanding environments and feature a range of designs including a large capacity radiator, which improves the ventilation capacity of the truck and guarantees a reliable performance from the engine cooling system.
The machines, which are made in China, are equipped with Cummins engines and Okamura transmissions.
Terry Kendrew, who heads the South African parent company Eqstra Holding’s operations in the UK, says: "All HC trucks are built to a high standard and customers can be confident the machines they are investing in are built to last.”
HC Forklifts UK’s new A series warehouse range, rounds off the company’s latest additions to its line-up and is made up of pedestrian and ride-on pallet trucks and pedestrian and ride-on pallet stackers. Each model is available in three specification levels: The mini range, suitable for less demanding environments; the basic range, a low cost but durable machine suitable for a multitude of warehouse operations; and the hi range, HC’s heavy duty warehouse equipment.
