THE NEW Hyster J4.0-7.0XTLG models are suited to a range of industries for both indoor and outdoor handling tasks. Here are six reasons to choose a Hyster XTLG forklift.

1 – Multifunctional forklifts

The new electric lift trucks feature large tyres and integrated lithium-ion batteries to deliver a robust, zero-emission solution. These electric forklifts offer reliability, and performance in an affordable zero-emission package.

2 – ICE-like performance

The new forklifts feature many trusted design elements from Hyster ICE lift truck models. However, in place of an IC engine, they feature a high-efficiency lithium-ion battery, and permanent magnet motor system. This setup provides high efficiency and smooth control.

3 – Operator comfort

The new lithium-ion forklifts provide a comfortable working environment for the operator. Electric forklifts help deliver reduced noise and minimised vibration during operation.

4 – Minimised downtime

The integrated lithium-ion battery with the Hyster XTLG series enables fast charging as well as low maintenance requirements. This helps maximise operational uptime for busy industrial sites.

5 – Optimised costs

When matched with the right application, tasks, and operating intensity the new models from the Hyster XTLG series can help businesses to reduce service costs, decrease energy consumption, and offer a longer operational life.

6 – For extreme operating conditions

Large superelastic tyres and high ground clearance enable the new Hyster trucks to tackle uneven surfaces and variable weather conditions to keep tough operations moving indoors and outdoors.
