The building and construction materials industry handles everything from bricks and beams to heavy precast concrete panels. Efficient handling is critical, indoors and out, especially when tight deadlines and safety standards are at play. That’s where Hyster® lift trucks come in.
If you're evaluating the best lift truck solutions for your building materials manufacturing or distribution site, these five resources from Hyster will help you make informed decisions and optimise your operations
Boost efficiency for handling concrete floors with forklifts
At Dycore in the Netherlands, prefabricated concrete system floors are handled in narrow storage aisles and safety standards are high. With a Hyster 30-tonne forklift, the company achieves productive concrete handling operations that reduce the risk of damage, support operator comfort and adhere to site safety rules.
Scale operations with Hyster heavy-duty lift trucks
M CON Products makes a range of precast concrete items. Business growth demanded higher capacity Hyster forklifts to handle the complete range of products, with an attachment to protect loads during handling. With a Hyster heavy-duty forklift, M CON navigated its rapid growth, getting the job done while reducing maintenance spend and using its fleet efficiently.
Rethink your lift truck power
In many building materials manufacturing operations, there is a greater emphasis than ever on reducing emissions and complying with green corporate initiatives and local legislations. However, traditional lead-acid batteries or LPG fuel may still be the best power option for some forklift applications. Not sure what’s best for you? Re-evaluate your power sources today with this whitepaper.
What operations need to know about servicing high voltage forklifts
New power sources bring new considerations in operations that previously relied on diesel forklifts. For operations currently, or considering, using heavy duty electric forklifts with high voltage batteries, this whitepaper explores the safety responsibilities, training, and safety practices and systems.
HVO – Exploring emissions reduction through sustainable and customisable power
HVO100 fuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) may make it possible for some building materials operations to reduce overall emissions compared to using diesel. This can provide a route to boosting sustainable forklift operations as part of a long-term emissions reduction pathway. Learn how HVO100 reduces lift truck emissions.
