1. Ergonomic Hyster Big Truck Cab Design
The Hyster H8-18XD IC forklift can be found supporting some of the most challenging materials handling operations in metal manufacturing operations. Helping operators work confidently and comfortably helps support operational productivity, even where there are high-duty cycles and extreme operating conditions to contend with.
This Hyster Big Truck series, for lifts up to 18-tonnes, features an ergonomically designed, high visibility cab. Equipped with an armoured glass top window, curved front and rear windows and steel doors with tempered glass, it helps improve the view. Where particularly large or difficult loads are commonplace, businesses can also select an optional rotating seat to further support operator productivity.
Inside the cockpit style cab, operators can expect reduced levels of noise and plenty of space. They can customise the environment to their own comfort, with a lateral sliding seat and adjustable steering columns and foot pedal. Ergonomic controls and a full colour screen display are at the operator’s fingertips.
The H8-18XD heavy-duty Hyster lift trucks are also designed with a compact engine. Intuitive layout and easy service access also enhances ergonomics for service engineers undertaking maintenance or repairs.
2. Heat protection for foundry applications
The intense heat in metal foundries is a common challenge that needs a tough solution. To protect operators, as well as the lift trucks’ components and systems, Hyster can configure trucks especially for these applications.
Heat and dust resisting features can reduce the impact of the elements on truck and operator. Operator cabins can also be supplied with a steel roof and heat resistant front screen. These features help operators to optimise productivity, even in the vicinity of sparks and flying debris that may have temperatures over 1000 degrees C.
Hyster trucks are designed for durability, even where operators in foundries work long shifts in arduous conditions. Ergonomics are incorporated as standard into Hyster lift trucks cabs, supporting all-round visibility and superior comfort for the operators for the duration.

3. Customisable solutions for metal goods storage applications
Hyster lift truck cabs are designed with ergonomics at the core to support the operator, whether they’re lifting 40+ tonnes of raw materials, or 2-tonne finished goods in a metal manufacturers warehouse or yard. The Hyster H2.0-3.5A A Series lift trucks can be specified with a range of features to support the operator and their particular handling requirements – known as A+ Logic.
For instance, those operating indoors in production areas or warehouses may benefit from driver awareness options, such as lights and alarms that support working in areas which may have high pedestrian traffic. Truck cabins can also incorporate a high-strength laminated glass roof for unobstructed upwards visibility, with mirror and camera options to further fine-tune the truck to operators handling needs.
The high-comfort A Series cab also has a large floorspace and comfortable seat. It can also be customized to keep operators comfortable in different weather conditions. Screen wipers and heated screens may help those operating outdoors in colder, wetter conditions, while air conditioning and sunshades will keep operators comfortable in hotter climates.
