Hyster Company has introduced the B60ZAC and B80ZAC series walkie/rider motorised hand pallet trucks.

The forklifts have the "latest advancements" in AC traction control technology to provide "increased torque, pace-setting travel speeds and smooth acceleration", a Hyster statement said.

Operators can move more in one load with optional double and triple pallet fork lengths.

The B230 series B60ZAC and B233 series B80ZAC forklifts replace the A230 series B60Z and A233 series B80Z forklifts. The main difference between the new and old forklifts is the use of AC control technology.
