HYSTER introduced three new pneumatic models into its electric truck range. These are intended to complement Hyster's existing range of 11 cushion tyre models.
It is claimed that pneumatic tyres and a redesigned suspension makes these vehicles suitable for outdoor use on uneven, wet or even slippery surfaces as well as for indoor use.
The new models cover the light end of the range from 1,000 kg (2,000 lb) to 1,500 kg (3,000 lb) with a 500mm (24 inch)load centre. Performance can be programmed to suit individual requirements. There is a voltage option of 36 volts or 48 volts.
Power steering is optional but worthwhile in this age of sex equality even though it will shorten battery shift life.
These low noise pollution free models will be available from the 1st of January 1977. Distribution for the UK is handled by Barlow Engineering of Maidenhead who already distribute the existing 70 electric, petrol, diesel and LPG models.
