UniCarriers adds Tier 4 diesel engine to G04 Series forklifts

UniCarriers Americas Corporation (UCA) announces that the GCT ZD30 Tier 4 diesel engine now available in its 8,000- to 11,000-lb. capacity, G04 Series  pneumatic-tire forklifts.

The 3.0-liter, turbo ZD30 diesel engine, designed by UniCarriers’s wholly owned subsidiary, Global Component Technologies (GCT), increases fuel efficiency of approximately 10% versus the prior engine design, and it reduces emissions below Tier 4 standards.

Standard features of the GO4 Series and its new ZD30 engine include an electronic engine control, common-rail fuel injection, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter, new meter panel, high/low maximum speed selector, power/economy acceleration mode selector, and engine and transmission protection system.

“UniCarriers is excited to introduce this new diesel engine within this model lineup,” said Mark Porwit, director, marketing and product management, UniCarriers Americas. “The G04 Series of lift trucks will be delivering even more value with this new engine, which will improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.”

The engine delivers dependable cold-weather starts as well as enhanced reliability. The G04 truck design offers ruggedness due to an oversized, heavy-duty differential and drivetrain, as well as thick mast rails.
