Advantages That Matter on the Job

• Diesel Power: Diesel delivers the torque and staying power needed for heavy lifting and continuous duty cycles. It’s an ideal match for a 15,500 lb capacity forklift, supporting efficient acceleration, steady load handling, and strong performance in yard or plant operations where productivity and fuel efficiency are essential.
• Fork Positioner: Adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the operator’s seat to match varying pallet sizes or load widths. This reduces manual fork handling, speeds up changeovers, minimizes strain on operators, and helps maintain proper load balance for safer, more efficient material handling.
• Side Shift: Move the carriage left or right without repositioning the truck, enabling precise load placement and faster alignment with racks, trailers, or staging areas. Side shift saves time, reduces tire scrubbing from repeated maneuvers, and lowers risk of product or racking damage.
• 15,500# Capacity: The Hyundai 70D-9’s 15,500 lb capacity gives you headroom for dense products and oversized loads. From heavy steel and precast forms to stone, lumber packs, machinery, and industrial equipment, this forklift is built to handle challenging weight demands reliably.
• 117" (Collapsed) Double Mast: The 117-inch collapsed height helps with doorways, low overheads, and transport clearance. A double mast provides solid rigidity for stable vertical lifting while keeping overall height in check, making it easier to move the truck around varied work environments.
• 157" Lift Height: A 157-inch lift height provides ample range for loading/unloading trucks, staging loads at workable heights, and handling materials in manufacturing cells or yard stacks. It’s a practical lift range that covers most day-to-day needs without overcomplicating the mast structure.
• Straight Mast Forklift Design: Straight mast forklifts are the backbone of many industrial operations thanks to their straightforward, durable construction and predictable handling. They’re easy for operators to learn, efficient to maintain, and compatible with a wide range of forks and attachments.

Applications Where the Hyundai 70D-9 Excels

The Hyundai 70D-9 Straight Mast Forklift is purpose-built for heavy-duty material handling across a wide range of industries. Construction supply yards can move bulk building materials and heavy pallets quickly. Precast and masonry operations can stage forms, blocks, and finished product efficiently. Fabrication and steel service centers benefit from the capacity to handle long, dense loads. Manufacturers can integrate the 70D-9 into production support, loading raw materials and moving finished goods. Distribution and cross-dock facilities gain speed and precision when loading trailers, thanks to side shift and fork positioner. In ports, yard operations, and general industrial settings, a 15,500 lb capacity forklift like this one allows you to consolidate tasks that would otherwise require multiple smaller trucks. Wherever dense loads, repeatable handling, and dependable uptime are in focus, the 70D-9’s diesel power and practical attachment package deliver measurable productivity.

Ownership Value

Buying a late-model Hyundai 70D-9 with low hours is a smart move for total cost of ownership. Hyundai’s industrial equipment is known for solid engineering and operator-focused ergonomics, and this machine’s low-hour status suggests a longer service horizon before major component cycles. Diesel power contributes to favorable fuel economy in heavy-duty applications and supports longer refueling intervals. The included Fork Positioner and Side Shift deliver ongoing labor savings because operators can set fork spacing and fine-tune alignment without leaving the seat or performing repeated repositioning moves. That helps shorten load handling times and reduce wear on tires and drivetrains caused by extra maneuvering. Purchased pre-owned at $69,875 from a seller that inspects and test-operates equipment, you’re capturing a significant portion of the machine’s remaining value at a fraction of new pricing. In short, you gain heavy capacity, precise handling, and late-model reliability without the depreciation hit of brand-new equipment.
