SUPPORTING LIFT TRUCK OPERATORS IN THE TOUGHEST APPLICATIONS

Productivity matters. That’s why Hyster® trucks help the operator to do more, even in intense operating environments. From demanding industrial warehouses to terminals handling containers, and many others.

The Hyster range of lift trucks, warehouse equipment, and container handlers has been ergonomically optimised to help operators work productively, confidently, and comfortably.

Those working in harsh conditions don’t have to compromise.

TOUGH TRUCKS FOR YOUR INDUSTRY

PAPER

Applications must contend with various pressures when handling paper. Drivers are often in a lift truck for a long shift, so comfort is important when selecting equipment.

The right choice of lift truck, sometimes combined with easy-to-use attachments, can help operators to increase productivity and output to meet targets.

PORTS AND TERMINALS

Ports and terminals are typically busy, noisy environments. As well as high comfort cabins with great visibility, we help operators get the job done with less stress and strain.

Electric big trucks offer lower noise operation for a more pleasant working environment. Even ReachStacker users can turn down the volume with special spreader dampening options.

Those operating container handlers can also benefit from options that help keep containers level like Powered Dampening or Powered Pile Slope. These options assist the operator with more controllability while handling the containers.

WOOD

Many timber sector businesses are challenged by workforce shortages, facing a limited pool of suitably qualified candidates for roles, and high staff turnover. The voice of the operator is louder than ever.

Ergonomics are therefore a key factor in selecting a lift truck. Drivers need to feel comfortable, so they can operate precisely and productively. Special solutions like Raised Cabins on lift trucks can even help operators see over large timber loads for a more efficient shift.

INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING

Ports and terminals are typically busy, noisy environments. As well as high comfort cabins with great visibility, we help operators get the job done with less stress and strain.

AUTOMOTIVE

Optimal efficiency is key in automotive manufacturing. The right materials handling equipment helps support operators with precise retrieval and delivery of parts at the right time and in sequence.

Hyster TowTractors can support the milk run with features designed to reduce driver effort. For warehouse retrievals, Hyster Order Pickers are designed for optimum driver comfort, so operators can maintain their concentration.

METALS

Metal and steel applications can be some of the toughest materials handling environments. Hyster can help take on these challenges.

For example, solutions can help operators feel protected in the extreme heat of metal foundries or offer comfortable, air-conditioned cabins in dusty metal recycling operations.

Hyster lift truck cabs are designed with ergonomics at the core to support the operator, whether they’re lifting 2-tonnes or 40+ tonnes.

TOP TRENDS INFLUENCING YOUR INDUSTRIAL FORKLIFT SELECTION

In tough industrial materials handling operations, no two applications face the same challenges. Even stakeholders across a single organisation will have different priorities when it comes to selecting lift trucks.

To identify the right lift truck solutions for the toughest industries, it is important to balance these needs by taking into account a number of key considerations.

HEAVY DUTY FORKLIFTS

In demanding operations, a lift truck needs to deliver powerful performance, but with accuracy, for maximum productivity and less costly damage to loads. The H8-18XD Hyster heavy duty forklift has a cab and front-end design focused on visibility, ergonomics, and comfort to help drive operator productivity throughout an entire shift. 

CONTAINER HANDLERS

Hyster Empty Container Handlers and Hyster ReachStackers feature a cockpit style workplace, positioning all truck information and controls at the driver’s fingertips. Optional camera systems and a choice of specially engineered solutions can also help to reduce the strain on operators to help them meet the demands of their role in busy ports and terminals.
