Hyster JXNT 1.5 tonne three-wheel forklift

Fleet, UK

Hyster's new three-wheel and four-wheel forklifts have been designed to help companies reduce materials handling costs.

The three-wheel J1.5-2.0XNT and the four-wheel J1.6-2.0XN range offers a wide choice of electric counterbalance models and configurations. Standard models have between 1.5-tonne to 2-tonne lifting capacities with various lift heights and are available in three or four steer-wheel, front-wheel drive configurations.

David Rowell, European operations manager for Hyster, says the new electric forklifts have been designed to meet the increasing demands of the current industrial climate. "Reduced lifetime costs, reduced energy consumption, maximum efficiency, maximum productivity, total reliability and flexibility are all key requirements."

According to Hyster, the new forklifts record the lowest energy consumption levels in the industry while still achieving high productivity.

Landoll has introduced a new LP gas-powered Bendi forklift to meet the demands of narrow-aisle storage operations.

The forklift is capable of precise movements in tight aisles and high elevations and features an integrated hydrostatic drive, lift and steering system.

Landoll says even though the forklift is gas-fueled, it rides with an "electric truck feel" that adds to "driver confidence and performance, increasing productivity and efficiency".

It can be operated over multiple shifts without the need for battery changing stations or charging areas. It is available in 4,000 pound (1,814 kilogram) capacities with lift heights of up to 360 inches (914 centimetres).

German manufacturer Still has extended its EXV high-lift stacker series to include two additional models.

Still's EXV 10

The EXV 10 Basic (single mast) has a load capacity of 2,204 pounds (1,000 kilograms) and the EXV 12i with initial lift to 150 mm has a load capacity of 2,645 pounds (1,200 kilograms). The EXV 12i is ideal for crossing slopes and ramps.

The initial lift of the EXV 12i increases the floor clearance to 5.9 inches (150 mm) and can easily operate on loading ramps or bumpy floors. The Eco-mode saves energy and allows safe transport of fragile goods like glass.
