Hyster Company has introduced the H40-70UT Series, a sit-down, counterbalanced forklift with a 4,000 to 7,000-pound capacity.

The internal combustion engine model is the first in the line of UT Series trucks, and is suitable for less demanding applications.

The H40-70UT uses a high-strength overhead guard with profiled steel to provide protection and visibility, while the mast is designed to help minimize blind spots and leave a significant front field of view for operators. Inside the compartment, a small, 11.8-inch diameter steering wheel is easy to manipulate and comes on a steering column with eight degrees of adjustment to suit the needs of each operator. Additional ergonomic features include spacious foot room and convenient control pedals to help reduce operator fatigue and increase comfort.
