Electric equipment kudos

The awards recognise Hyster’s efforts to push the boundaries of lift truck power by bringing advanced electric power sources to high-capacity trucks that have traditionally depended on internal combustion engines.

“Emissions regulations and market shifts are steadily directing the industry toward electrification,” said Jennifer Meyers, brand manager, Hyster Company.

“Businesses in intensive industries deserve material handling solutions that deliver both sustainability and performance to help them enhance productivity and improve their bottom line.”

Award kudos

Inbound Logistics recognised Hyster as a ‘Green Supply Chain Partner’ for its robust lineup of factory integrated lithium-ion powered trucks, engineered to electrify a wide range of applications.

Meanwhile, Food Logistics named Hyster as ‘Top Green Provider’ for its development of hydrogen fuel cells.

Lastly, Supply & Demand Chain Executive has named Hyster as Top Supply Chain Project winner for its work helping a leading manufacturer of building products increase uptime and achieve a lower total cost of ownership, through the fleet management service Hyster Fleet Optics.

Hyster has recently brought advanced electric power sources to high-capacity trucks such as the recently announced J230-360XD and J360XD36-48 series in the 23,000 to 36,000-pound capacity range.

The company also introduced counterbalanced trucks, like the E50-60XNL series, that are designed from the start around factory integrated lithium-ion power, rather than utilising battery box replacements.

Hyster lift trucks powered by advanced electric options, including lithium-ion and hydrogen fuel cells in select models, which are being used by ports, lumber, agriculture and steel get better performance with low emissions.
