H400-500HD-EC Empty Container Handlers 

Pace Setters in the Container Handling Industry 

H400-500HD-EC

Since 1997, Hyster lift trucks have been leaders in the empty container handling industry. These empty container handlers strike an excellent balance in operator comfort, outstanding performance and serviceability.

When you enter the cab of these trucks and close the door, this is your space. The ComforCab II™ offered on our empty container handlers is the same proven cab fitted on the all other Hyster “HD” models. With the superior ergonomic design of the cab and controls, operator fatigue is greatly reduced and productivity improved.

A maximum performance machine can only be manufactured by using the best of the best. That is why we have teamed up with other top performers, such as Cummins, Spicer Off-Highway, Parker, and Elme to produce a truck that is unmatched in the empty container handling industry.

• The H400-500HD-EC empty container handlers are configured with the Cummins QSB 6.7L turbo charged diesel engine which meets Tier III emissions standards, so not only is it powerful, but it is also friendly to our environment.
• The transmission is a Dana Spicer Off-Highway (S.O.H) power shift
  • TE-17 rated for 215-270 hp engine
  • 3-speed forward and 3 speed reverse, soft shift for down shifting and reversal
  • Inching capabilities controlled by a solenoid clutch
  • Auto-shift
• These empty container handlers can handle any size container that meets the container industry ISO standards as well as US domestic containers
• Separate oil cooler is used in conjunction with oil temperature sensors on each side of the drive axle to provide early indication of excessive oil temperatures
• Sealed water tight Deutsch connectors are used through out.
• Wires are single colored and numbered every inch for ease of tracing.
• The ELME 586 spreader features solenoid valves for all hydraulic functions:
  • extension, retraction, locking and unlocking.
  • Specially shaped ‘bumpers’ guide the spreader heads into a container’s corner castings, facilitating easier seating for both hydraulically operated vertical twistlocks.
• Anti-cavitation tilt control valves are plumbed at the tilt cylinder ports to keep upright from moving forward while engine is not running, improve upright control during forward tilting, and blocks the flow of hydraulic oil to all tilt cylinder ports, while eliminating fluid transfer between cylinders
