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. Even on uneven ground conditions, the vehicle is ideal for outdoor use 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 when handling goods, 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 in longitudinal driving and cornering.
The low energy consumption ensures that exhaust emissions are further reduced and fuel consumption is cut to 4.8 liters per operating hour compared to 6 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%. An extremely compact engine is used, which achieves a maximum output of 42 kilowatts.
