Cleveland-headquartered Hyster has released its redesigned three-wheel, stand-up forklift which includes a fully suspended floor designed to reduce shock and vibration transmitted to the operator by 65% and a mast which allows up to 21% greater visibility than competitive models, the company states.

Hyster adds the forklift uses 5% less energy than competitive models while claiming optional high-performance hydraulics enable best-in-class lift speed. 

“This combination of productivity and energy efficiency makes the truck up to 37.5% more efficient than the competition,” Hyster states.

Josh Hetzel, director, product planning and solutions with Hyster adds the new three-wheel, stand-up forklift “is built to deliver round-the-clock productivity and offers the ergonomics and productivity enhancing features to equip operators to do the same”.

The Operator Sensing System uses smart sensor placement to detect operator presence, enabling them to operate the truck without constantly standing on top of a pedal.

A standard multifunction joystick enables operators to activate all necessary functions with a single hand position, and the new steer system reduces steer effort by up to 7% and uses a shorter-length tiller so that it doesn’t extend into the compartment.

Operators can access key information and set truck speed and lift height through a standard 2.8-inch or optional 7-inch touchscreen display.
