Hyundai forklifts – diesel, LPG and electric trucks of the -5, -7 and III series: 1.3 to 16 tonnes, how to read D, L, B, HDF, HLF and HBF
Hyundai Construction Equipment has built forklifts since the 1990s at its Ulsan plant as a complement to its construction equipment programme; in Europe the trucks are sold through the construction equipment dealer network. The type code follows a fixed pattern: the number gives the capacity in hundreds of kilograms (15 = 1.5 t, 25 = 2.5 t, 160 = 16 t), the letter the drive – D for diesel, L for LPG, B for battery, i.e. electric – appended letters such as C for the compact version, T for three-wheel electric trucks, R for reach trucks, and the suffix -5, -7 or III denotes the generation. The older notation puts the letter H first: HDF for Hyundai Diesel Forklift, HLF for LPG, HBF for electric, HBR for reach truck.

The register lists 55 versions with capacities from 1,349 to 16,000 kg and service weights from 1,500 to 18,948 kg; widths run from 960 to 2,499 mm. Engines recorded for the combustion trucks are Mitsubishi 4G64 (LPG), Hyundai HMC Beta, Kubota V3300, Yanmar 4TNE98 and Cummins QSB5.9-C, with displacements from 1,976 to 5,885 cm³ and rated speeds of 2,200 to 2,500 rpm; the electric trucks run on 48 or 80 V. Recorded outputs lie between 46 and 66 kW.
The span shows the programme: three-wheel electrics for the warehouse, standard diesel and LPG for the yard, and the 10- to 16-tonners of the -7 series for timber, steel and ports.
On used trucks, as with all forklifts, operating hours, play in the mast, condition of forks and chains (chains are wear parts with a replacement limit), battery condition on electrics and, on combustion trucks, the availability of engine parts from the respective engine maker are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
