Hyster launches new pallet truck
March 14th 2008

The number of pallet movements per site varies widely across the manufacturing and warehousing industries. Some operations may use a truck for a couple of hours in a confined area, while some may require the movement of heavy loads over long distances, with constant loading and unloading movements. Hyster’s Spectrum P2.0S is designed to perform in a variety of different applications, specialising in heavy usage. The truck's features include a 10.5km/h dual speed operation, fast acceleration, power steering and progressive stiffening when cornering.

However, the high specifications found on the Hyster P2.0S pallet trucks are not required by all pallet truck operators, so Hyster has introduced a new platform pallet truck that performs in less intensive applications.

The recently launched P2.0SE retains the same chassis and ergonomic design as the P2.0S standard model, alongside dual control tiller head, non-slip suspension platform and back or side rider supports features, but it is modified for less intensive application usage.

“The P2.0SE has all the main characteristics of the P2.0S but with reduced maximum speed and mechanical steering. This is designed to provide the optimum balance between investment cost and performance for lighter application customers,” explains Robert O’Donoghue, general manager for Hyster.
