HD Hyundai Site Solutions announced on the 3rd that it recently supplied four 5-ton class hydrogen forklifts to the Construction Machinery Parts Research Institute. The 5-ton class product is the largest among hydrogen forklifts in Korea. Previously, only 3-ton class products were supplied to the domestic market.

The Construction Machinery Parts Research Institute deployed the supplied equipment at Korea Zinc Onsan Smelter. Starting from July, it plans to conduct on-site verification to establish durability and safety standards for hydrogen forklift parts.

HD Hyundai Site Solutions jointly developed the world's first 5-ton class hydrogen forklift model with Hyundai Motor Group in 2022. The full-scale launch of this product is scheduled for 2027.

The 5-ton class hydrogen forklift introduced by the company has a load capacity more than 1.7 times higher than products from other domestic manufacturers. It is expected to be highly useful in sites that transport heavy goods such as ports and logistics centers.

An official from HD Hyundai Site Solutions said, "We are also expanding the small and medium-sized product lineup, including 1.8-ton and 3.5-ton hydrogen forklifts, and some products have already completed verification," adding, "We will enhance the technological completeness of our products by installing solid hydrogen storage devices to extend operating time."
