Hyster launches high-performance range

The new forklift trucks have been designed for the toughest of environments. The new 8-16T, 16-18T and 36-48T ranges feature Hyster’s Vista Cab and clean-running (EC Tier 3) Cummins engines. Robust drive axles, advanced auto-shift transmission systems and engine and transmission protection systems are fitted as standard.

The H8.00-16.00XM-6 Series consists of 14 models, featuring a 6.7-litre Cummins QSB6.7 diesel engine with a performance of 155 Hp/116 kW at 2,300 rpm. An LPG version with the Cummins 6B-LPG-Plus engine is also available. The trucks are suitable for operating in environments from -18ºC up to 50ºC for normal operation, or up to 45ºC for heavy-duty operation, thanks to a new cooling system.

The compact H16.00-18.00XM(S)-12 Series consists of four models. Both the 16T and 18T versions are available in short ‘S’ (3.5 m) and standard (3.75 m) wheelbase versions. Two engine performance levels are available from the 6.7-litre Cummins QSB6.7 engine with turbo and intercooler. The new series also features class-leading lift speeds (0.36 m/sec) and highly competitive travel speeds, according to the company.
