Having access to expert insight and proven experience has become a need, not a luxury. Hyster Power Match™ is that essential resource – a team of industry experts, all committed to partnering with you to pinpoint the trucks and power sources that can help address your specific materials-handling needs.
WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
There’s much to consider when evaluating power sources. Are you using the most efficient source for your fleet? Are regulations pressuring you to re-evaluate? With so many new technologies, is it time to modernize? The following tool can provide some insight.
EMISSION
SPACE REQUIREMENT
MAINTENANCE
LOCAL UTILITY REQUIREMENTS
REQUIRED OPERATOR INVOLVEMENT
SUSTAINED POWER DELIVERY
HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS
No harmful emissions; only water vapor and heat
Space-efficient infrastructure; storage can be located outside facility with dispensers located indoors or outdoors
Moderate maintenance requirements
None, though refueling system may have requirements
Simple, fast refueling
Consistent power delivery until full depletion
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
No harmful emissions
No specialized changing or maintenance rooms required
No maintenance or equalization required
More intense electrical grid burden, depending on fleet size and charge intervals.
Designed for opportunity charging; faster recharge capability than lead acid
Consistent power delivery until full depletion
LEAD ACID BATTEIRES
None while in operation, but does emit fumes that require ventilation during battery charging
Separate room, infrastructure often required for battery charging, changing and maintenance
Higher maintenance requirements compared to other electric options
Moderate electrical requirements, depending on fleet size
Complex and time-cosuming battery maintenance, charging or changing
Diminishing power output as battery charge depletes
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Emissions while in operation. Well-suited for outdoor or highlyventilated environments
Primary fueling and storage infrastructure located outside facility
Requires regular, but not daily, maintenance
None
Simple, fast refueling with tank charges or pump
Consistent power delivery until full depletion
