Key Features of the Hyundai 160D-7E
-
Cummins QSB6.7 Six-Cylinder Turbocharged Engine — Proven Power at 16-Tonne Class
The 160D-7E shares its engine with the rest of the 7E-Series heavy range — the Cummins QSB6.7, a six-cylinder turbocharged diesel producing 119 kW at 2,200 rpm and 731.6 Nm of torque at 1,400 rpm. At 16-tonne class, peak torque in the low RPM range is what matters most — enabling the 160D-7E to break heavy loads free from rest, climb steep loading ramps, and maintain steady traction across the demanding surfaces of UAE ports, industrial yards, and precast facilities. The engine meets EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emissions regulations and features adjustable idle RPM in 25 rpm increments, saved automatically when the engine restarts — allowing operators to fine-tune fuel consumption to each site's conditions without manual re-entry each shift. -
PWR / STD Engine Mode — Fuel Efficiency Without Sacrificing Heavy-Load Performance
The 160D-7E provides two selectable engine output modes. POWER mode delivers maximum output for the heaviest lifting, towing, and ramp work the 16-tonne class encounters. STANDARD mode runs the engine at a lower output setting — reducing fuel consumption during lighter cycles such as yard repositioning, empty pallet movements, and lower-intensity stock management. For UAE operations where a 16-tonne forklift handles a mix of maximum-weight cargo and lighter daily tasks, PWR/STD selection provides direct, measurable fuel cost savings per shift without requiring any mechanical changes or operator training beyond a single switch press. -
ZF3WG161 Full-Automatic Transmission — Built for 16-Tonne Heavy-Duty Cycles
The 160D-7E uses the ZF3WG161 full-automatic transmission — a purpose-engineered unit from ZF, the global leader in heavy industrial drivetrains, rated specifically for 16-tonne class forklift applications. Three forward and three reverse gears shift automatically and smoothly under full load, eliminating the drivetrain stress of manual or semi-automatic alternatives during the repeated direction changes that UAE port and freight operations demand. The ZF transmission's torque converter provides an additional multiplication of engine torque at low speed — giving the 160D-7E extra pulling force when first engaging the heaviest loads from stationary, then transitioning smoothly to drive as speed builds across the yard.
-
Kessler D81PL478 Front Axle with Oil-Cooled Wet Disc Brakes — Maximum Stopping Power at 19-Tonne Machine Weight
At a service weight of 19,235 kg — necessary to counterbalance 16 tonnes of rated load — the 160D-7E's braking system is one of the most critical safety components on the machine. The Kessler D81PL478 front axle is fitted with oil-cooled wet disc brakes that maintain consistent, fade-free stopping performance across sustained high-cycle UAE port and industrial operations. The wet disc design operates in an oil bath that prevents brake overheating during repeated stops at heavy machine weight — eliminating the brake fade risk that dry disc systems face in high-frequency stop-start duty cycles. The brake cooling circuit uses 20L of hydraulic oil with Lubrizol additive, managed by a dedicated brake cooling pump on the engine PTO, ensuring the system stays within operating temperature even during the most intensive UAE summer shifts. -
27.5% Max Gradeability — Confident Ramp Performance at Full 16-Tonne Load
With a maximum gradeability of 27.5% under full 16-tonne payload, the 160D-7E handles the steepest loading bay ramps, dock transitions, and yard gradient changes found across UAE port, precast, and heavy industrial facilities with confidence. The combination of the Cummins QSB6.7 engine's low-RPM torque, the ZF transmission's torque converter multiplication at low speed, and the Kessler axle's traction management gives the 160D-7E the drivetrain capability to maintain controlled upward and downward movement on steep ramps that lighter machines in this capacity class cannot safely manage. -
33.3 km/h Travel Speed — Fast Cycle Times Across Large UAE Sites
The 160D-7E achieves a maximum travel speed of 33.3 km/h — an exceptionally high speed for a 16-tonne class heavy forklift. This speed enables fast cycle times across the large footprints of UAE port yards, steel mills, precast manufacturing sites, and bonded warehouses where the distance between load pick-up and drop-off points is significant. At 33.3 km/h, the 160D-7E completes more load cycles per shift than slower competitors in the 16-tonne class — directly increasing throughput and lowering cost per tonne moved for UAE heavy logistics operations.

-
What is the difference between the 110D-7E and the 160D-7E?
Both models use the same Cummins QSB6.7 engine and share the 7E-Series platform, but the 160D-7E is rated to 16,000 kg versus the 110D-7E's 11,000 kg. The 160D-7E has a wider overall width of 2,497 mm, heavier service weight of 19,235 kg, a larger Kessler D81PL478 front axle with oil-cooled wet disc brakes, and the ZF3WG161 transmission rated for 16-tonne duty. The 160D-7E is the correct forklift to buy when loads regularly exceed the 11 to 14-tonne class ceiling.
-
What is the travel speed of the Hyundai 160D-7E?
The 160D-7E has a maximum travel speed of 33.3 km/h — one of the highest in the 16-tonne heavy forklift class, enabling fast cycle times across large UAE port yards, steel facilities, and industrial sites.
-
What transmission does the 160D-7E use?
The 160D-7E uses the ZF3WG161 full-automatic transmission — a purpose-built ZF unit rated for 16-tonne class forklift applications, providing smooth, fast gear changes under full load with built-in torque converter multiplication at low speed.
-
What are the engine output modes on the 160D-7E?
POWER mode delivers maximum engine output for heavy lifting, ramp climbing, and maximum-load traction. STANDARD mode reduces output for lighter tasks, cutting fuel consumption per shift without requiring any adjustment beyond a single switch.
-
What braking system does the 160D-7E use?
The 160D-7E uses oil-cooled wet disc brakes on the Kessler D81PL478 front axle. The wet disc system maintains consistent stopping power across repeated heavy stop-start cycles in UAE operations without brake fade, and requires significantly less maintenance than conventional drum or dry disc alternatives.
-
