The 2-stage mast and carriage are designed for a variety of heavy duty applications. Robust mast design for the 19,000 through 36,000 lbs. range incorporates decreased mast deflection and increased stiffness than comparable competitors' masts with overhead tilt.

The carriages are designed with a wide opening to increase forward visibility of the fork tips at ground level and most frequent loading heights. The top bar and side plates are manufactured from high strength steel. Greaseable load roller bearings help to remove wear particles from the roller body.

The steer axle is designed for longer life, providing an adjustable outside turning radius which reduces stress on the axles and improves tire life by mitigating tire scrubbing.

The ergonomically designed high visibility cab puts greater productivity within easy reach. Equipped with an armored glass top window, curved front and rear windows and steel doors with tempered glass, the operator cab provides excellent all-around visibility. Inside the cab there is more space with the largest entry area in the industry, more control with a full-color screen displaying performance data at the operator’s fingertips and more comfort with an exclusive lateral sliding seat, adjustable steering column and foot pedal, plus ergonomic controls.

Open carriage design, mast chains mounted on the outside of the mast low cowl and increased space between mast channels and valve block location enable enhanced forward view of fork tips at travel and load height.

Curved, scratch resistant, tempered glass front and rear windshields, armored glass top window and steel-framed glass doors provide operators with excellent all-around visibility. On the exterior, sloping counterweights enhance visibility of steer tires for improved maneuverability and reduced tire gouging.

Hyster forklifts are designed with the service technician in mind. Gull-wing hoods provide quick access to key components, and daily checks don’t require tilting the cab. A tilting cab provides easy access to hydraulic components in seconds. Galvanized, broad, slip-resistant running boards foster quick daily checks.
