Precise reach truck solutions
October 1st 2004 Launched in May 2002, this August the 1000th production model of Hysters Matrix reach truck rolled off the line at the companys plant in Italy.
The success of the Matrix reach truck series has heightened our recognition as an attractive first choice for large warehouse, distribution and logistics companies wanting to have a truck which specifically matches both their needs and applications, said Jean-Pierre Gurand, Hyster Europes managing director.
The range of possibilities offered by the Matrix has opened up new opportunities for customers seeking precise solutions to their operational materials handling
requirements.
Customers can specify a range of features to be added to the basic chassis design. For example, there is a choice of three smooth operating mast designs, which offer seven different lift heights from 6800 to 11426mm. There is also a range of control options to match driver performance, including fly-by-wire 180 or 360steering for enhanced manoeuvring capability.
Control of hydraulic functions can be via a multifunction joystick, conventional 4-lever, or dual axis lever. The performance of the unit can also be set to suit the application, load or driver. More articles from Hyster Europe: |
