The Doosan 7 series gas forklifts combine great performance with increased safety, providing an innovative forklift design to a range of different industries. Below are just a handful of these forklifts’ impressive capabilities, along with their benefits and the industries that these machines are best suited for.
A key feature of the Doosan forklifts is their efficient gas engines. They’re capable of providing consistently high power and fast lifting speeds without any dangers of overheating. These engines have low speeds, making them very efficient in their energy output and allowing for repetitive use within short time spans. The engines typically come with a 2.4-litre capacity, though that may vary slightly depending on the exact model.
Having an efficient engine will result in higher productivity levels – workers will be able to complete more tasks in a shorter amount of time without having to go out of their way to do so. This will make your company stand out from your competition, as you’ll be finishing jobs much faster, without sacrificing safety measures and quality checks. Also, the engine capacity will allow the forklifts to run for longer periods of time before needing to be refuelled, adding to those increased productivity levels.
Speaking of engines, many people will be happy to hear that these forklifts actually produce zero emissions. Combined with their low running costs, this makes the Doosan 7 series forklifts much more environmentally friendly than traditional diesel and gas models. This is becoming an increasingly important decision-making factor for many industries and companies throughout the UK.
Having zero-emission forklifts in your fleet will reduce your company’s overall contribution to pollution and environmental damage. Not only will this benefit your local area by improving public and ecological health, but it will also positively impact your reputation – more and more consumers are trying to be environmentally friendly and are choosing to support companies that align with their beliefs.
In regard to safety, these forklifts have an intelligent Operator Sensing System (OSS) built in, which detects when an operator is sitting in the operator cell. This stops any accidental or automatic operation, as the forklift simply won’t move or do anything if it doesn’t detect someone in the operator cell, successfully preventing any accidents from taking place.
The forklifts’ anti-rollback feature also prevents them from accidentally moving when stopped on a slope. This allows for much easier truck loading and unloading. This also helps to prevent any accidents from taking place, protecting both the operator from harm and the forklift itself from damage.
Another great safety feature included in the 7 series forklifts is the automatic speed control. It regulates how fast the forklift can go, automatically reducing the speed when going around corners or through narrower spaces. While all forklift operators should be properly trained and should know exactly how fast or slow they should be going, this feature can help prevent them from making any mistakes – even the smallest oversight can result in serious injury when dealing with heavy machinery.
Ergonomic design is at the heart of the Doosan 7 series forklifts. The steering column, full suspension seat, armrest, and optional headrest can all be adjusted to accommodate each operator’s individual needs. This ensures that operators can work longer hours without feeling uncomfortable in their seats, allowing higher productivity and employee happiness levels.
The forklifts also feature grab bars and anti-slip plates, specifically designed to allow operators easier entry and exit of the operator cell. This comes in useful both in everyday working conditions, where they allow workers to start and end forklift tasks quicker, and also in emergency situations, where getting out of the operator cell as quickly and safely as possible is a top priority.
The operator cell also has additional features that allow for better visibility when working. The dash at the front of the forklift has a relatively low profile and the overheard guard has a clear and flat roof, allowing the operator to have a clear view of what is above and below the forklift. The dash comprises of easy to read displays that provide a clear indication of things like the speed of the forklift – having everything clearly labelled and easily accessible lets operators check the indicators without losing focus on the task at hand and helps to prevent any accidents that may arise from forklifts going unmonitored.
All of these ergonomically designed features are incredibly important, as they will provide your workers with a safer and more comfortable working environment. As mentioned earlier, satisfied workers will put more effort into the tasks they complete, resulting in much higher productivity levels. Your company will also gain a positive reputation, both amongst potential workers and customers that care about the safety of workers.
In Summary, the Doosan 7 series forklifts are a great option for all companies, small, medium or large, needing a high-quality yet affordable forklift fleet. Their innovative design makes them easier and safer to use than many of the alternatives available on the market, and they combine cheap running costs with great performance to produce an impressive piece of machinery.
