Demanding industries like transport and manufacturing
have long relied on internal combustion engine (ICE)
forklifts, even in indoor settings. That’s changing. Electric
motive power is increasingly popular among high-intensity
operations, and electric options for forklifts are no longer
limited to lead-acid batteries. The opportunity is there,
but what should you know about electrification for indoor
forklift applications?
Two large providers of paper and packaging solutions in the US faced similar challenges within their material handling operations. In order to limit costs, reduce emissions, improve their work environment and boost labour utilisation, the paper and packaging companies partnered with Hyster.

From horizontal transportation to storing and retrieving pallet loads at height, increasingly capable robotic solutions are becoming regular fixtures at manufacturing and automation events, and in trade and business publications across the globe.
Read the WhitepaperWhen any job or activity becomes second nature, familiarity often breeds inattentiveness—a sense of “autopilot” kicks in, and carelessness can result. Or, if a task or job can be completed more efficiently using some sort of shortcut, human nature will often dictate that action. Unfortunately, both distraction and corner-cutting can lead to disaster for the individual and others. In the materials handling industry, specifically those facilities using forklifts and industrial trucks, safe practices involve multiple layers of application from truck and machinery operations, to employee and visitor conduct

In tough industrial materials handling operations, no two applications face the same challenges. Even stakeholders across a single organisation will have different priorities
when it comes to selecting lift trucks.
Across the world, focus on reducing materials handling
equipment fuel emissions is intensifying. Sometimes
to meet corporate environmental objectives, and often
hastened by local emissions standards and regulations.
Although they’re not often top of mind, forklift power sources affect your operations every day because the lift trucks they power are responsible for delivering parts and materials throughout your facility and moving final products out. These are bookend functions that keep your operation moving.

As the world collectively pursues reduced greenhouse
gas emissions, supply chains have a critical role to
play.
Ports and terminals all over the world continue to seek ways to reduce their impact on the environment. Port equipment, Reachstackers and container handlers in particular have all been a major area of focus.

Maintenance, operations, and waste disposal. All of these activities form part of the construction industry, a highly diverse sector that is cemented into the fabric of society and the economy across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
