Hyster has launched a new range of 25 - 32 tonnes heavy duty forklift trucks and dedicated container handlers, delivering maximum performance, versatility, excellent visibility and lower operating costs for heavy industry and ports.

"The new H25-32XM range comprises nine new models spanning 25 to 32 tonnes lifting capacity, three of which are ultra compact" explains Antoon Cooijmans, Big Trucks Product Manager for Hyster Europe. "They are all designed to offer a unique blend of high productivity, reliable proven components, fuel efficiency and outstanding driver comfort in the ports or in heavy industry".

The range includes four standard forklift models (H25XM-12, H28XM-12, H30XM-12, H32XM-12) with between 25,000kg and 32,000kg lifting capacity at 1,200mm load centre. The three new ultra-compact models (H25XMS-9, H30XMS-9, H32XMS-9) are designed to assist in operations where space is at a premium, with wheelbases of between 3.655m and 3.935m. In addition, there are two new container handlers (H28XM-16CH, H32XM-16CH) with a dedicated carriage for the container spreader.
