Hyster introduces tough new XT

Hyster is introducing into European production a tough and durable series of 2.0 – 3.0 tonne capacity fork lift trucks, built in the UK to suit a variety of everyday indoor and outdoor applications in logistics, distribution and manufacturing. The Hyster H2.0–3.0XT series, available with either diesel, LPG or dual fuel engines, give maximum uptime that businesses can depend on, while offering a continued low cost of ownership. “The XT series is perfectly suited to the majority of everyday applications and we anticipate that the wide appeal of this machine will make it a popular choice,” says Karen Calver, Product Strategy Manager for Hyster in Europe. “The addition of the XT series to the Hyster portfolio gives businesses even greater opportunity to specify a forklift that meets their operational needs and their budget.” Power and Reliability Built using proven, high quality Hyster components, the XT series offers operators a long and reliable performance. Featuring industrial engines, power is delivered efficiently over a 10,000-hour design life, helping to reduce lifetime costs. The benefits of the Yanmar diesel engine include super quick glow plugs allowing the engine to start quickly and reliably under cold conditions, delivering a cleaner exhaust by advancing the fuel injection timing based on water temperature. For the PSI 2.4L LPG engine option, there are two engine modes: HiP for maximum productivity and ECO-eLo for the best fuel economy so that users can select the mode that best suits their usage. For the comfort of the user and others within the working area, the engines used within the XT series are all fully isolated from the frame and axle and prevent direct transmission of noise, keeping noise exposure to a minimum for operators. Vibration levels are also lowered, and with a full suspension seat which can be adjusted to suit the driver’s height and weight, operators can enjoy a comfortable and easy operation and remain productive throughout a shift. To help further maintain productivity, the XT series trucks also offer well-placed controls and a large low step to make it easy for operators to get on and off the truck.
