Materials handling brand Hyster’s H2.0-3.5FT and H4.0-5.5FT Fortens series has been enhanced with ‘best in class’ fuel efficient technology. “The extensive Hyster testing programme suggests that the tough new Fortens is the most fuel efficient truck on the market for both diesel and LPG, with hybrids being the only exception,” claims Peter Madoc-Jones, product marketing manager.
“Uncertain fuel prices have led many forklift buyers to place fuel efficiency at the top of their list of importance. With the new Hyster Fortens, businesses will benefit with reduced fuel bills and productivity higher than competitor models. We have combined fuel efficiency with tough and reliable operation and lowered the total cost of operation even further.”
Hyster has achieved the fuel savings in several ways including the introduction of an ECO-eLo setting which reduces the engine governed speed by 20 per cent. A second setting, HiP, is also available for those businesses that require maximum performance, which cannot be switched by the driver in the cab, ensuring managers are in control of the fuel costs at all times.
