Heavy forklifts launch with EU5 compliant diesel engines
The Baoli KBD 50-100 heavy series, with load capacities from 5,000-10,000kg at a load centre of 600mm, have been updated to comply with the more stringent emissions standards.
The new trucks from the Baoli brand, which is said to provide a ‘synthesis between German productivity and the competitive prices of Far Eastern products’, are due to enter market this summer.
The new engine assures EU5 pollution compliance, thanks to the pollution treatment with a DOC (Diesel oxidation catalyst) used in combination with a DPF (Diesel particulate filter) and a SCR system (Selective Catalytic Reduction) using ammonia as the reducing agent. A low consumption value is achieved through the optimisation of the piston bowl, the injector nozzle and an optimised air management system. But that’s not all because it’s also increased the convenience for the customers thanks to the auto tensioning belt drive system and a fully electronic controlled injection system.
The new trucks have also more power than the previous series because they’re equipped with an extra inter-cooler for air intake system, a new bigger size water radiator and an extra oil radiator. The results is a cooling efficiency up to 20% more than the previous models. On the transmission side, the KBD 50-100 has new characteristics in order to control better the new performances, with a more efficient brakes cooling (+50%) an increased brakes lifespan as well. Finally, the new series confirm the previous models’ very good visibility in any travel direction and a great level of comfort.
