Save money with the combustion engine
At Hyster, as elsewhere, the combustion engine continues to perform well. The supplier of 140 models of counterbalanced forklifts, warehouse equipment, and container stackers has just expanded its UT series to include load capacities up to seven tons.
For simple applications in environments without complex automation or connectivity strategies in the background, the new features help to minimize costs and increase productivity.
The H4.0-5.0UT and H 5.0-7.0UT6 models, with load capacities from four to seven tonnes, include easy-to-operate forklifts with electric and combustion engines - ideal for companies that do not need their forklifts around the clock, but rather for occasional use.
The new models are also available with various lift masts and attachments. Equipped with high-quality and durable Kubota SI and CI industrial engines, they meet EU Stage V emissions standards.
"The series meets standard requirements at an attractive price," says Eva Nachtergaele, Solutions Manager EMEA at Hyster, "and offers a wider selection to find the right forklift for specific applications."

These functional forklifts are robust in handling and maintenance. They are ideal for use in the building materials trade, metalworking, workshops, and various production facilities.
The new models offer good visibility through the mast. While driving, the driver has a clear view of both the load and the area in front of the truck. The robust roof protects the driver. The adjustable steering wheel facilitates maneuvering in tight spaces.
High-quality components, efficient filtration, and adequate cooling minimize wear and tear and keep operating costs low. Affordable spare parts are readily available, and components can be interchanged between models. The ergonomically designed driver's cab, with its car-like layout, facilitates operation.
