Nine new heavyweights from Hyster

New Hyster 25–32 tonnes heavy duty forklift trucks and container handlers

NINE NEW HEAVYWEIGHTS FROM HYSTER

Hyster has launched a new range of 25–32 tonnes heavy duty forklift trucks and dedicated container handlers, delivering maximum performance, versatility, excellent visibility and lower operating costs for heavy industry and ports.

“The new H25-32XM range comprises nine new models” explains Antoon Cooijmans, from Hyster Europe. “All offer a unique blend of high productivity, reliable proven components, fuel efficiency and outstanding driver comfort in the ports or in heavy industry”.

The range includes four standard forklift models with between 25,000kg and 32,000kg lifting capacity and three ultra-compact models for operations where space is at a premium. There are also two new container handlers with a dedicated carriage for the container spreader. All models offer class leading lifting performance and feature the QSC8.3 Cummins diesel engine with low exhaust emissions conforming to EC Tier 3 NRMM emissions standards.

“They are packed with features to reduce energy consumption and save fuel” adds Antoon, explaining that the trucks only provide maximum power on demand, when it is really needed, with load-sensing hydraulics that ‘feel’ the load weight that is lifted. As maximum loads are not always handled, the trucks do not always require maximum engine power and therefore less fuel will be consumed, with savings of 5% to 15%.

The trucks are also highly versatile, thanks to the ‘dual-function’ carriage. The hook-style design with a ‘quick-disconnect’ (dis)mounting feature for the forks enables fast exchange between forks and attachments such as a coil ram.

For operators, the Hyster ‘Vista’ cab offers excellent comfort, outstanding ergonomics, low noise levels and all-round visibility ensuring maximum visibility of the load and operating area. The cab is ideally positioned, mid-high and towards the front, for optimal visibility, which offers excellent vision sideways and rearwards, boosting driver confidence and performance.

Maintenance requirements are also kept to a minimum with features such as oil-immersed brakes and, with easy access to key components, servicing is easier, provided by Hyster’s extensive network of distribution partners.
