No two materials handling operations are the same. So, to meet exact operational demands and business requirements, ports and terminals need control over how their materials handling equipment fleets are specified and configured. That’s why Hyster is dedicated to delivering configurable, high-performance solutions designed to meet ports and terminals where they are today, with flexibility to adapt as requirements evolve. This is the what visitors to TOC Europe 2026 will discover at stand E20, from 19-21 May 2026 in Hamburg, Germany.
Balancing sustainability and productivity in container handling operations
On stand E20, the Hyster team will help port and terminal operators identify best-fit forklift and container handling solutions configured to meet specific operational requirements, regardless of power source.
Hyster specialists can share insights into varied power options, including lithium-ion battery power, hydrogen fuel cells, diesel, and alternative fuels such as HVO100, which may help ports support sustainability goals without compromising efficiency, productivity, or operator ergonomics. On the stand, visitors can also use an emissions calculator to see how changing from diesel fuel to electric lift trucks could support their operation on route to decarbonisation.
The breadth of both Hyster materials handling equipment options and power technologies enables ports and terminals to truly retain control over how fleets are configured and deployed.
Explore ways to lower total cost of ownership with Hyster
Remaining competitive in the ports and terminals industry requires a clear understanding of total cost of ownership and operational costs, including the true cost per container. A critical part of this is specifying container handling equipment that is precisely matched to the application.
Depending on the operation, costs may be reduced in several ways. For example, handling two empty containers simultaneously can deliver time and cost efficiencies. Operator productivity may be improved through enhanced ergonomic features. Alternative fuel choices may also help reduce energy costs while supporting sustainability objectives.
At TOC Europe, visitors can explore a wide lineup of internal combustion engine and electric solutions designed to enhance port and terminal operations.
See high-capacity lithium-ion forklift up close at TOC Europe
Visitors to stand E20 will see a lithium-ion powered, high-capacity, electric forklift on display. The Hyster® J16XD12 integrated lithium-ion forklift exemplifies the performance and flexibility Hyster offers to match the demands of a port or terminal operation. Performance is comparable to internal combustion engine (ICE) forklifts, with scalable battery options designed to align with duty cycles and charging requirements.
When correctly matched to the application, operating intensity, and infrastructure, the Hyster J10-18XD series is designed to deliver ICE-like performance with zero emissions, reduced maintenance requirements, and a lower total cost of ownership. High-powered lithium-ion batteries can help your port or terminal to eliminate tailpipe emissions and support reduced operating costs.
Charging infrastructure remains a critical consideration for electric fleets. That’s why Hyster electric big trucks incorporate the Combined Charging System (CCS) as standard. CCS is a global electric vehicle charging standard that enables ports and terminals to scale charging infrastructure cost-effectively across multiple applications using a single, standardised connector adopted across industries and regions.
