Technical description
The forklift trucks in the 394 series allow
loading and palletising to be performed for
loadsupto4twithH40,upto4.5twithH45
and up to 5 t with H 50-500, at a load distance
of 500 mm.
Details on the exact lift-height-specific maxi-
mum loads are available in the load capacity
diagram.
The trucks are eco-friendly and their quiet
operational noise and low emission levels
benefit both the driver and the environment.
Their distinguishing features are the compact
design and small turning radius. For this
reason, the trucks are particularly well-suited
to narrow entrances and operational areas
where space is at a premium.
Engine
The drive engine is a 4-cylinder, four-stroke
diesel engine with turbocharging and state-of-
the-art pump injection technology. It powers
the truck’s hydraulic pumps and varies its
speed depending on the load. The engine is
cooled by means of a closed coolant circuit
with expansion tank.
Forced circulation lubrication with an oil pump
in the oil sump is used for engine lubrication.
The combustion air is cleaned by means of a
dry air filter with a paper insert. Diesel engines
with state-of-the-art engine technology are
used for:
• High torque
• Low fuel consumption
• Low exhaust emissions
• Low particulate emissions
• Low noise levels
Hydraulic system
The drive unit consists of a hydraulic variable
displacement pump, two hydraulic fixed
