Hyster Europe has announced the launch of a compact 24V rear wheel drive forklift truck series that delivers a number of benefits including energy efficiency and a low cost of operation.

The new rear wheel drive A1.3XNT and A1.5XNT forklift trucks from Hyster are among the most compact 1,250kg and 1,500kg capacity forklift trucks in their class. With a width of only 996mm, they help to support block stacking where space is limited.

The three-wheel 24V forklift trucks have a tight turning circle said to be class-leading, allowing the 1,250kg model to operate in aisle widths of just 3,053mm.

The low noise level of 59dB(A) is said to reduce stress on the operator while a low vibration seat offers comfort with levels from 0.3-0.5m/s2. A low step and seat height provides easy on-off access and there is plenty of foot space and shoulder room. A top speed of 12.0kmh (laden) is delivered by the single rear AC drive motor, while adjustable performance settings help to achieve the required ‘eBalance’ of energy and performance. The HiP setting provides maximum productivity, while the eLo setting optimises the energy use and reduces cost even further, providing super low comparative forklift energy consumption.
