DISTINCTLY HYSTER, BUILT FOR YOU

QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE COME STANDARD

SCALABILITY

The ICE-powered Hyster A Series forklift, offered in capacities ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 pounds, is available in your choice of four distinct configurations. The drivetrain sets each apart, ensuring the forklift is optimized for success in your specific application.

Primematch™: Designed with simplicity and durability in mind. Ideal for primary, everyday tasks or occasional moderate use.

Corematch™: Delivers reliable power, smooth operation, and the versatility to handle all your core tasks with rugged simplicity.

Intelimatch™: Enhanced control, comfort, and capability for demanding applications with advanced customization for intelligent operations.

Duramatch™: Built for durability in intense, challenging applications, demanding shifts, and rugged terrain.

ERGONOMICS

Hyster A Series forklifts are engineered to be tough — but not on your operators. Each is equipped with features designed to maximize operator comfort and productivity.

  • Seat and step are close together, making entry and exit easier
  • Large step provides a greater foothold for the operator
  • Large floor area helps reduce leg fatigue during long shifts
  • Dynamic seat adjustment provides up to 25% more forward and backward seat flexibility than the leading competitor*, so each operator can find a comfortable seating position
  • Greater head and shoulder clearance than the leading competitor* allowing for better freedom of movement
  • Foot-activated, hand-released parking brake that is designed to tuck out of the way when applied, enabling unobstructed entry and exit

 

* Compared to Toyota 8 Series 8FGU25 model. Competitive comparison data validated through internal testing.

VISIBILITY
  • Hyster A Series forklifts are designed to maximize visibility for efficient, precise load handling.

  • A low dash and a wide forklift mast give the operator excellent visibility of the fork tips

  • High-strength laminated glass roof provides an unobstructed upward view

  • The wide viewing window through the mast enhances visibility to the forks and the load

COST EFFECTIVENESS

The engine and many other components are highly durable and common across the entire Hyster A Series ICE truck series, for longevity and familiarity, ease of service, and parts stocking efficiencies.

  • Robust Yanmar industrial engine built for heavy use and frequent starting and stopping stands up to the toughest jobs
  • Steer axles fitted with tapered roller bearings to minimize service requirements
  • Commonality of components and durable design elements like O-ring face seals and double-sealed electrical connectors help streamline maintenance and reduce service frequency

DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN DSS - DYNAMIC STABILITY SYSTEM

 

Forklift safety is critical in the materials handling industry. That’s why we’ve engineered the Hyster® Dynamic Stability System (DSS) into every A Series model. The innovative system helps support confidence and promote safe operating practices for forklift operators. Click through each aspect to learn more.

Lateral forklift stability system

 
DSS Lateral Stability

Reduces lift truck lean in turns, helping to improve lateral stability. The innovative steer axle design allows for superior travel over uneven surfaces. The system is 100% maintenance free, with no controller, sensors or wiring.

High-lift traction control

 
DSS traction control

Limits truck speed when the carriage is raised above the height threshold. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the truck display and an audible alert.

High-lift tilt control

 
DSS tilt control

Limits tilt speed and forward tilt range when the carriage is raised above the height threshold while carrying a load. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the lift truck display and an audible alert.

Corner control

 
DSS corner control

Dynamically limits speed when driving around corners, based on how tightly the truck is turning. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the forklift display and an audible alert.

BALANCING PERFORMANCE AND COST: HOW TO CONFIGURE FORKLIFTS

Forklifts can run the gamut from off-the-rack standard to custom engineered. Because no two operations are the same, it doesn’t take much to wind up configuring forklifts that are actually overbuilt or underpowered for your job.
