Participating in the 25th Izmir International Natural Stone and Technologies Fair this year, TSM GLOBAL attracted great attention with its SUMITOMO excavator and HYSTER forklifts, and the solutions it offers from “quarry to port”.
Japanese giant Sumitomo’s SH350LC-6, SH370LHD-6, SH490LHD-6 MASS and SH510LHD-6 MASS models stand out as the most preferred models in marble quarries in Turkey. While the 72-ton SH700LHD-5 MASS model is used in large-scale quarry operations, the demands in this tonnage class are increasing in parallel with the growth in the sector. American Hyster, which is also a world brand, serves the sector with its diesel and battery forklifts with a lifting capacity of 3-5.5 tons in marble quarries and factories, and heavy-duty forklifts with a lifting capacity of 32 tons and 16 tons in port-warehouse areas and block stacking areas.

High Efficiency, High Profit with Sumitomo New 6 Series
SH370LHD-6 and SH490LHD-6 MASS models exhibited by TSM GLOBAL at the fair, thanks to Sumitomo’s hydraulic pump with increased efficiency and its powerful engine combined with “Sumitomo Intelligent Hydraulic Control System” (SIHIS) technology, high power, efficiency, performance, seriality and ease of use. offers. Sumitomo’s heavy-duty award-winning new 6 series excavators make production in quarries more profitable.
Thanks to the technologies developed for fuel efficiency in the SH370LHD-6 and SH490LHD-6 models, which visitors have the opportunity to see closely, costs per ton have been reduced. Thanks to the SSC (Piston Stroke Control) system, the engine load is reduced during heavy-duty work. AES (Automatic Energy Saving) technology reduces the engine speed accordingly when low engine load is detected. PTR (Pump Passage Drop) technology, on the other hand, reduces the motor load when the pump flow requirement decreases with the sudden pump load. With the engine shutdown feature at idle, the engine automatically stops if the machine does not move for a set period of time, while the automatic idle feature allows the engine to continue at idle for approximately 5 seconds after the levers are in the neutral position. These developed systems combine with the SP, H and A modes functions, which enable high efficiency to be produced, and allow the operator to excavate, disassemble and load very quickly and comfortably.
Heavy Duty Extra Reinforced Design
Thanks to the extra reinforced MASS and heavy-duty boom and arm structure, Sumitomo excavators show high performance especially when working with ripper. While the extra reinforced boom and arm structure creates less vibration during operation; high stress resistance also ensures that the machine works comfortably even under the toughest loads. Thanks to this structure, it is possible to work in a more balanced and efficient manner.
Armored Undercarriage Advantage on Hard and Abrasive Ground
Another feature of Sumitomo excavators, especially sought after in the marble sector, is heavy-duty, armored undercarriage. Special heat-treated and reinforced undercarriage provides extra protection with its armored structure, as well as providing more rapid mobility thanks to the higher number of rollers. Sumitomo excavators, which can operate smoothly during long working hours in the highly abrasive material in the harsh conditions of the marble quarries, offer uninterrupted production with their performance on hard and difficult floors.
Comfort and Safety Standard
Specially designed and developed cabin in Sumitomo new 6 series; It has special silicone shoes that prevent vibration, powerful air conditioning, glass that offers wide viewing angles and mirrors in ISO standards. Many features such as the operator seat that is not affected by water and dust, large interior volume, comfortable and ergonomic control system, extra security system against theft, non-slip steps, protective handrails provide the safety and comfort of the operators.
Sumitomo, which increases operator comfort with its cooled glove compartment and additional storage areas, also provides better air flow with its fully automatic air conditioner. In addition, the noise level in the cabin during operation has been reduced compared to the previous series. Sumitomo designers aimed to increase efficiency, especially with seat designs that allow the operator to work for long hours.
The new high resolution 7 inch color control screen provides easy access to all control and machine data with its multifunctional structure. From this high-resolution screen, which is ergonomically positioned in the full field of view of the operator; operating modes, travel speed, ECO indicator, fuel level indicator, engine coolant temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, power boost, fuel consumption status, clock, attachment selection, anti-theft security, work lights, operating clock, radio control It can see and control information and instant data digitally. Also on this panel are the travel speed button, camera on/off and camera toggle button, engine idle mode button, windshield wiper and work lights on/off button.

In addition, the Hyster H32XM-12 heavy tonnage forklift with a lifting capacity of 32 tons was also exhibited at the fair.
In addition, there are special marble attachment applications in the stacking of marble slabs in the form of bands in the factories. Hyster H5.5FT model forklifts with a lifting capacity of 5.5 tons, which have a high work capacity compatible with their special attachment, also have the ability to enter the container. With this model, marble slabs weighing 3,000 kg and a length of 3,000 mm can be easily loaded into the container.
Hyster’s high-tonnage forklift models from 8 to 32 tons respond to demands as an alternative to wheel loaders for higher capacity loading and especially in the loading operation of marble blocks. Hyster H32XM-12 with a lifting capacity of 32 tons, which is intensively used both for loading and transporting block marbles at the factory site, is preferred with its high cycle speed, powerful hydraulic system and high work capacity.
Hyster Power at the Factory and at the Port
