Product Description

Adaptability, Simplified

The Hummerbee Classic is the most adaptable and configurable rough terrain forklift ever designed and engineered for the apiary and orchard industries. Whether you’re a veteran crop polinator or a new kid on the block, we have a Classic forklift with you’re name on it.

The Classic can be equipped with multiple variations of controls, gauges, drives, hydraulics, lights, tools, and masts to meet your unique work requirements. Unlike some machines that need to be modified into a forklift, the Classic was born to be a forklift.

When it comes to simplicity, the Hummerbee Classic is legendary. The Classic is designed for easy operation and maintenance, increasing productivity and reducing down time. And being powered by a Kubota 24.8 HP diesel engine means there are no electronic Tier 4 emissions components to maintain.

Durability accompanies Power

The articulated joints are upgraded with grease-free ThorPlas® uni-ball bearings for superior wear-resistance to improve longevity and minimize maintenance. The popular articulating and oscillating chassis design still remains true to it’s traditional roots, providing stable mobility on even the roughest terrain.

Equipped with our standard Eaton® single-speed hydrostatic transmission, the Classic effortlessly generates the power you want, at the speed you need. Upgraded auxiliary hydraulic components provide more reliable, responsive, and powerful tool operation than ever before.

Efficiency meets Value

With a 1,600 lb. lift capacity, and weighing in at only 4,860 lbs., the Classic is a real workhorse in a compact, lightweight package that’s easy to maneuver and transport. And, the Clear-View mast allows for faster, safer loading and navigation.

Excellent fuel efficiency, paired with a large capacity fuel tank, keeps the Classic working uninterrupted all day long. Combine that with decades of proven performance and an attractive price, and the Hummerbee Classic offers exceptional value.
