Servicing and maintaining the Cummins Tier4 Final engine remains simple and convenient. The easy-access service, paired with the HARLO parts team will ensure minimum downtime.
Tier 4 emission requirements were an opportunity for HARLO to rethink design elements of its rough terrain forklifts. HARLO engineers understood that a John Deere Electronic Tier 4 Final 74 hp. turbocharged diesel engine does not need after treatments therefore-No DEF required. Which helps to reduce the daily operating costs of the unit.
HARLO sought out a solution that would provide end-users with the same performance they have come to expect from previous John Deere powered models.
Lower horse power could mean less performance, so enhancements were made to gain efficiencies through improved hydraulics and an enhanced cooling system. The new HP-Series is the only rough terrain forklift in its class to use a pressure and flow compensated hydraulic pump.
Unlike all rough terrain forklift manufacturers using a gear pump, HARLO chose a Piston Pump for more controlled pressure efficiencies.
The redesigned HP Series offers the most versatile rough terrain forklifts on the market. The rugged design allows the operator to navigate effortlessly in a variety of terrains. All models are available in both 2 and 4 wheel drive options. The HP Series forklifts are used in construction, agriculture, oil fields, forestry, as well as many more industries around the world.
