Hyster has expanded its flagship A Series of forklifts with new electric lift truck models that combine toughness, comfort, and zero emissions, for indoor and outdoor handling tasks. The robust and customisable Hyster® J2.2-3.5A electric counterbalance forklift range is designed for energy efficiency, with a choice of batteries alongside the dependability needed in intensive and industrial operations.
“The new electric Hyster A Series forklifts offer high performance and low impact for lifts up to 3.5 tonnes,” says Fraser Brash, Regional Product Manager, for Hyster Europe. “Building on the proven Hyster ICE A Series and our long expertise in developing trusted electric forklifts, the new models enable operations to utilise clean power options while also selecting particular features for unique application needs.”
To empower operations to target their handling challenges the new electric Hyster A Series trucks come with a choice of lead-acid, lithium-ion, or thin plate pure lead (TPPL) batteries, powering day-to-day productivity while also supporting sustainability goals. Businesses can also maintain a low cost of ownership by specifying the drive motor that best suits the application’s requirements. An optional enhanced motor package may help manage charging needs, extend runtime, and use batteries efficiently in operations that require higher performance and lower energy consumption.
The new electric forklifts are also designed for use in arduous conditions with enhanced environmental protection. The electric A Series offers an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water damage. This makes it suitable for use in a range of heavy-duty applications such as in the paper, chemicals, metal, or wood industries, even in adverse weather conditions and harsh environments. Ease of maintenance also supports simplified service, helping further reduce downtime in tough environments.
“Ergonomic design and clear visibility also play a key role in operational productivity, so this has been carefully considered in the design of the electric A Series,” Fraser says. “All models feature a mast designed for all-round visibility, top tier manoeuvrability, and a comfortable operator compartment that helps overcome the physical demands of forklift operations. Where intensive operations demand greater comfort, the Hyster electric A Series forklifts can also be fine-tuned further with seat and control options.”
Add-on Operator Assistance Systems (OAS), including camera and light packages, are offered with the new Hyster electric A Series forklifts, providing added support in certain applications. The optional Dynamic Stability System (DSS) may also help reduce the likelihood of truck tip overs and reinforce safe practices with operators. The system monitors operating conditions and limits truck functionality if certain conditions are detected.
The Hyster J2.2-3.5A electric counterbalance forklifts can be ordered now from the global network of local Hyster dealers.
