With almost 100 years of expertise, Hyster stands as a stalwart in the lift truck industry. Within this domain, heavy-duty counterbalanced forklifts emerge as indispensable workhorses across various industrial landscapes.
Hyster offers you a comprehensive lineup of high-capacity counterbalanced forklifts, boasting distinct lifting capacities from 8,000kg to a 48,000 kg and serving specific applications with power, efficiency, and operator-centric design that caters to a wide spectrum of heavy-duty demands. Available counterbalanced forklifts include:
Efficiency and sustainability in action
Stage V engines, incorporated within the Hyster heavy-duty forklift range, support compliance with stringent emission standards. These engines combine technologies like Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) such as AdBlue®, and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Their integration significantly reduces harmful emissions while maintaining powerful performance levels. The Stage V engines, meeting regulatory requirements, contribute to a cleaner operational approach in heavy-duty machinery, aligning with environmental sustainability goals without compromising power or efficiency.
As industries strive for eco-friendly operations, HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) stands as a viable fuel alternative that significantly reduces emissions without compromising performance. This bio-based, renewable liquid fuel diesel alternative aligns seamlessly with our commitment to environmental responsibility. With capabilities to eliminate up to 90% of net greenhouse gas emissions and diminish other harmful emissions like nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and carbon monoxide (CO), HVO offers an immediate, effective strategy to lessen environmental impact. Its compatibility with existing engines and ease of adoption make it a pragmatic choice for reducing emissions as part of a journey towards greener operations.
Achieving a low Total Cost of Ownership is always at the forefront for Hyster. Integrated powertrain systems and on-demand hydraulics deliver high productivity while minimising fuel consumption, a key driver of operating expenses. These counterbalanced forklifts are designed to reduce overall costs through features like adjustable steering angles, which decrease tyre wear and provide optimal manoeuvrability. Additionally, extended service intervals for major engine and drivetrain components contribute to reduced maintenance costs, helping the trucks remain operational for longer durations between servicing.
Hyster prioritises serviceability and its high-capacity counterbalanced forklifts are designed with technicians in mind to streamline maintenance tasks. Gull-wing hoods and a tilting cab provide quick access to key components without prolonged downtime. Daily checks and hydraulic component access are simplified through galvanised, slip-resistant running boards and a large access bay. These features enable rapid radiator cleaning and fluid level checks, minimising service time.
Operator comfort and efficiency
The XD cabin across the Hyster heavy-duty counterbalanced forklift range prioritises operator comfort, functionality, and enhanced visibility. It features an armoured glass top window, curved front and rear windows, and steel doors with tempered glass, for excellent all-around visibility. Operators benefit from spacious interiors and ergonomic designs, providing a comfortable and productive workspace. Additionally, the cabin design emphasises ease of ingress and egress with the largest entry area in the industry, enhancing accessibility for operators of varying sizes.
A 7-inch full-colour Integrated Performance Display provides truck performance data in one clear screen. This multi-function touchscreen gives the most relevant information to the operator in a clear manner, offers onboard diagnostic capabilities, and is easily programmable and customisable for various operator skill levels.
Customisation options for diverse industry needs
Hyster high-capacity counterbalanced forklifts provide versatile customisation options tailored to meet a wide range of industry requirements. These trucks offer various configurations and engineering options to accommodate specific application requirements. Whether it's the addition of reversing fans for improved cooling in dusty operations or different handling attachments to suit wood or steel industry variations, these forklifts can meet your needs. The ability to cross over spare parts across the product series is also advantageous for operations with extensive fleets.
