- Hundhausen’s productivity has been optimised thanks to Hyster’s
reliable and durable trucks, which have been reinforced to
operate to maximum capacity within the specialist application and
to withstand the heat from the melting ovens
- Fleet standardisation was easily achieved thanks to Hyster’s
extensive range of products serving all of Hundhausen’s needs
- Operators and equipment are protected from sparks and flying
debris, which can reach up to 1500°C, by the Hyster cab’s steel
roof and heat resistant front screen. The trucks operate intensely
for more than 6,900 hours per year in harsh conditions
- Excellent ergonomics are incorporated into the Hyster Vista cab,
featured on the new Big Trucks, offering all-round visibility and
superior comfort for the operators for the duration of the shift
- Easy maintenance, reduction in downtime and improved fleet
management is achieved through the standardised Hyster fleet
across the site
- An operation management system, which allows only registered
drivers to operate the truck ensures that drivers are accountable
and responsible for the equipment that they are using
- Downtime has been reduced through minimal tyre wear thanks to
extended fenders, which protect the tyres from sparks and debris
- On the Fortens, a smoother ride for the operator and less wear to
the tyres and brakes during aggressive direction changes have
been achieved thanks to Hyster’s DuraMatch Transmission system
- This extremely intensive operation is able to run so smoothly,
thanks in part to some of the specialist equipment fitted to the
trucks, such as the air pressure compressor, Stabau integrated
rotating apparatus with heat protection plates and protected tilt
cylinders
