Hyster has launched forklifts with advanced ergonomics to support high-intensity transportation industry operations

Hester has announced the launch of a lithium battery forklift to meet the demands of the fast-paced freight industry. The J40XNL supports common workflows at cargo terminals, such as loading and unloading goods. It features an open space design, prioritizes driver comfort, and reduces the overall weight of forklifts to enhance acceleration and lower energy consumption.

"The freight industry is accelerating its electrification process, and this trend is not limited to trailers on highways," said Buddy Spurrier, director of key accounts at Hyster Logistics. "Our clients are seeking solutions across the entire supply chain, including forklifts, to find solutions that can both reduce carbon emissions and support driver retention productivity during very busy multi-shift operations."

Ergonomics

By providing comfortable seats, increasing headroom for taller drivers and a larger cab space.

Improve the feel of forklifts

Lowering the center of gravity can improve the handling of forklifts in curves, while reducing their weight and increasing their acceleration.

A mast specially designed to enhance productivity

Considering the transportation issue, the optional mast meets the lifting height requirements of the application while helping to minimize the risk of forklift damage.

The Hyster J40XNL electric counterbalanced forklift is also suitable for other intensive industries seeking solutions to help achieve zero-emission goals, such as general manufacturing, agriculture, chemicals, plastics, and automotive and transportation manufacturing.
