So why should operations in Europe, Middle East, and Africa add these lithium-ion counterbalance forklifts to their pick list?
1) Strength and performance you can depend on
These trucks are exactly what you’d expect from the Hyster® brand. They are the perfect tools for operators stacking and moving goods around yards, storage areas, or loading bays and provide responsive performance, consistent lifting power and travel speeds up to 16km/h. With lift capacities up to 3.5 tonnes and a reach up to 6m, they are easy to operate with features common with the rest of the Hyster range, helping operators get the job done.
2) Competitively priced
The Hyster J1.6-2.0UTTL and Hyster J1.5-3.5UTL series trucks will have mass market appeal thanks to their competitive price. As with all Hyster products, they are designed and built to provide a low Total Cost of Ownership when matched with the right application.
3) The lithium-ion advantage
Get all the benefits of lithium-ion and expect a fast, full charge in about two and a half hours on most models. The long-lasting batteries can be opportunity charged, during staff breaks for example, to meet the specific application’s requirements, even over multiple shifts. The batteries are integrated via a battery box underneath the seat which means they can easily be swapped later in the trucks’ lifecycle if needed.
4) Easy to maintain
Not only are these trucks designed to be maintained easily, but with lithium-ion, there is also reduced time on battery maintenance. There is no cleaning or watering required, and the fast charging does not have any adverse effects on the battery life.
5) Support that gives you peace of mind
These trucks are supported by the strong Hyster lift truck distribution network. Proactive aftermarket support and fast parts supply means that key components are readily available for any units in need of immediate repair. Alongside our trusted Hyster dealers, our aim is to keep your business moving.
6) Robust warranty
You can be confident in the protection of a fully backed warranty when you select one of the new Hyster lithium-ion forklifts. In fact, the lithium-ion battery, which is factory fitted, has an attractive 5-year warranty (or 7500 hours) as standard.
7) Reduce fleet emissions
Like all electric trucks, the latest Hyster lithium-ion battery lift trucks have no tailpipe emissions. This helps businesses to meet emissions regulations and business sustainability goals in the move towards zero emission operations.
8) Save space
Regain space if you have an existing charging area for lead acid batteries. Space-eating battery storage and battery changing stations are no longer needed. Simply park up, plug in, and charge your three or four wheel lithium-ion forklift. There is no need to purchase spare batteries or change batteries during a shift.
Explore lithium-ion power for your application
The right power source, and the right lift truck model, will also depend on the specific application needs, from the tasks carried out, to the operating intensity and operator needs, your budget, and many other considerations.
