Hyster A Series as the New Flagship Forklifts on the Market

Hyster introduces the new Hyster® A Series to the market. The H2.0-3.5A models are immediately available with combustion engines. Each forklift is tailored to the customer according to the “A+ Logic” concept. A set of fully integrable functions can be scaled and customized. Users can adjust their forklifts to specific application needs.

(Frimley – UK) “Hyster has reorganized its manufacturing process for the A Series. This allows us to provide robust and high-quality forklifts that meet customer expectations and are also tailored to the specific needs of the intended application and operator,” says Robert O’Donoghue, VP Marketing and Solutions EMEA at Hyster. “That’s why we describe the series with the expression Distinctly Hyster, built for you.”

Personalized Configuration

With A+ Logic at its core, the A Series forklifts can be easily configured to meet the individual requirements of each customer. They offer outstanding performance for the respective application as well as low total operating costs.

Following the philosophy of scalable design, customers can easily add functions that are necessary for productivity in their operations. They do not pay for unnecessary options that incur costs but provide no added value.

“We designed the forklifts this way because no two customers face the same challenges,” says O’Donoghue. “With the Hyster A Series, there are no pre-made forklifts in different options. We build each forklift to fit the work cycle, environment, and tasks.”

The H2.0-3.5A models with combustion engines and load capacities from 2 to 3.5 tons are the first forklifts that Hyster is launching in this series. The base models are industry-leading in fuel consumption and offer excellent visibility, simplified maintenance, and robust components that prevent unplanned downtime.

Ergonomics & Performance

“Operator trust and comfort are extremely important as they contribute to increased productivity,” explains Robert O’Donoghue. “That’s why the new A Series forklifts are designed to support driver ergonomics and performance.”

The spacious driver’s cabin of the H2.0-3.5A forklifts has been specifically designed to improve visibility upwards, forwards, and backwards. It provides the driver with more freedom of movement and relieves the body.

Thanks to the thoughtful design, the forklift is comfortable and easy to operate. This contributes to higher productivity throughout the entire shift. Additional features such as driver assistance systems and an innovative dynamic stability system (DSS) are available as options.

All A Series forklifts are compatible with Hyster Tracker™, a telematics solution for wireless asset management. It provides companies with the data they need to optimize their fleets, control costs, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance further.

The new models replace the Hyster Fortens and XT forklifts of the same load capacity. More forklifts with combustion engines and different load capacities are expected to follow soon. H2.0-3.5A forklifts are now available for order from local dealers.
