Tough forklift for everyday operations

20 May 2016

Hyster is introducing into European production a tough and durable series of 2 to 3t capacity forklift trucks, built in the UK to suit a variety of everyday indoor and outdoor applications in logistics, distribution and manufacturing.


 The Hyster H2.0–3.0XT series, available with either diesel, LPG or dual fuel engines, is said to give maximum uptime, while offering a low cost of ownership.  

Karen Calver, product strategy manager for Hyster in Europe, comments: “The XT series is perfectly suited to the majority of everyday applications and we anticipate that the wide appeal of this machine will make it a popular choice. The addition of the XT series to the Hyster portfolio gives businesses even greater opportunity to specify a forklift that meets their operational needs and their budget.”

Featuring industrial engines, power is delivered efficiently over a 10,000h design life, helping to reduce lifetime costs.

The benefits claimed for the Yanmar diesel engine include super quick glow plugs allowing the engine to start quickly and reliably under cold conditions, delivering a cleaner exhaust by advancing the fuel injection timing based on water temperature.  

For the PSI 2.4L LPG engine option, there are two engine modes, HiP for maximum productivity and ECO-eLo for fuel economy.

For the comfort of the user and others within the working area, the engines used within the XT series are all fully isolated from the frame and axle and prevent direct transmission of noise, keeping noise exposure to a minimum for operators. Vibration levels are lowered, and with a full suspension seat which can be adjusted to suit the driver’s height and weight, operators enjoy a comfortable and easy operation. To help further maintain productivity, the XT series trucks also offer well-placed controls and a large low step to make it easy for operators to get on and off the truck.
