Hyster's latest warehouse products
May 21st 2008 The power steering and 10kmh travel offered by Hyster’s P2.0S platform pallet truck – used for the horizontal transport of goods – is not necessary in some applications, so Hyster has developed the new P2.0SE model. The P2.0SE includes all the main characteristics of the P2.0S but with reduced maximum speed and mechanical steering.
Factors external to operations have also affected Hyster’s product development. Increasing land costs have lead to a trend towards taller warehouses creating the need for taller handling products. “Racking often reaches heights of 12m which is why Hyster developed its Matrix reach truck to include a stronger and taller mast capable of placing heavier goods at 12m,” explains Robert O’Donoughue, Hyster’s gm for warehouse products.
In warehouses that extend to 20m in height, Hyster’s range of VNA trucks helps to deliver exceptional productivity in high intensity operations. An intelligent combination of both travel and lift speed helps to deliver one of the fastest VNA transits in the industry, contributing to significant time savings and overall productivity. "Our business is about optimising our customer’s individual operation with handling solutions that fit their current and future business needs," finishes O'Donoughue.
