Most Hyster dealers sell the entry level units that don't have the higher priced features and transmission so the problem has been mostly unheard of. These units in question were sold through major accounts. As a Hyster regional rep told me a couple of years ago the Fortis was a try at copying the Linde hydrostatic drive units with its outstanding features but they tried to accomplish it with software not a hydrostatic drive. When I was with Hyster in the 80's before Nacco the plan was to bring out hydrostatic drive forklifts due to its superior drive system. But non the less to keep pricing low they abandoned that idea.
