andling operations in the mining and
construction sectors are open to
harsh conditions including extreme
temperatures, dust, dirt and uneven ter-
rain. Hyster
®
trucks have the range for de-
manding applications, in particular from the
8-16 Tonne series. As well as being rugged
and robust, Hyster
®
trucks are designed to
deliver outstanding dependability and low
cost of ownership. This is achieved by intel-
ligent design and development, verified by
testing products under extreme conditions.
Key features of Hyster products, particu-
larly appreciated by users in the construc-
tion industry, include rugged chassis and
mast designs, excellent cooling, excellent
stability and good control, particularly on
ramps. Many configurations are available
to meet specific application requirements
in every type of operation, with trucks able
to be used with a range of specialist at-
tachments.
The extensive range of Hyster
®
trucks has
been developed to suit various types of op-
erations and applications.
Although Hyster has built its reputation on
meeting the needs of the most challenging
applications, different IC trucks are needed
to suit different levels of intensity by match-
ing the right product to the application, giv-
ing Hyster customers the benefit of superior
reliability, dependability and a low cost of
ownership.
The Hyster
®
Fortens
®
series of IC trucks for
example was designed to meet the demands
of intensive applications including 24/7 op-
erations, whilst it remains class leading in
terms of stamina and endurance in heavy
duty applications.
However, not everyone needs such a high
specification and, as an alternative for stan-
dard use, the Hyster
®
CT series offers ex-
cellent value for less demanding operations,
with all the benefits of tough Hyster design,
high quality build and outstanding back-up
and support.
The right truck choice can help reduce fuel
usage, optimise fleet size or reduce mainte-
nance and day to day operating costs.

age and reduce operating costs, the new
