Warehouses Benefit from Taller and Stronger Mast
What's Hyster Getting up to in the Tall Shed?
As 12m high racking becomes more popular in the distribution arena, Hyster launches a new taller and stronger mast option to allow the Matrix reach truck to service the top shelves.
Gaining room without increasing floor space helps distribution networks to achieve greater efficiencies, and increases the demand for higher and stronger warehouse equipment.
Robert O’Donoghue, General Manager for Warehouse Products at Hyster explains “The increasing cost of land at strategically important sites has lead to a trend towards taller warehouses. As a response to this growing market need and intensive development, we have introduced new stronger and taller mast options for our reach trucks.”
With 180° and 360° progressive steering allowing seamless direction change, complemented by powerful acceleration and in built speed reduction on cornering, Hyster trucks are versatile and easily manoeuvrable.
O’Donoghue continues “Some of the technology and findings from the development of Hyster’s new market leading VNA series have been applied to the Matrix stronger and taller mast option. Heavier items can be safely lifted to any pallet location up to 12m with a Hyster Reach truck.”
There are 9 models in Hyster’s Matrix Reach truck range (up to 2500Kg), all designed to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity from the operator, through comfort (suspension seating/adjustable steering), performance (programmable) and simple, precise controls (fingertip).
The Matrix is built to last with easy service access and on-board diagnostics helping reduce life-time service costs, resulting in a dependable product for a wide variety of applications.
