Fleet efficiency and operator performance are critical to success in demanding supply chain operations, especially in the face of a difficult labor and regulatory environment. At Promat DX next week, Hyster will host two virtual demonstrations – one featuring ergonomically-designed lift trucks and the other data-driven fleet management tools – that can help operations bolster productivity.

Demonstrations at Promat DX

Ergonomics – Built for comfort and performance: Monday, April 12 at 1 p.m. CDT

Telemetry – Driving positive change through data: Wednesday, April 14 at 2:15 p.m. CDT

“The virtual format of Promat DX allows materials handling professionals simple and free online access to learn more about leading-edge solutions to the industry’s persistent challenges,” says Jennifer Meyers, Brand Manager, Hyster Company. “Our focus on ergonomics and data reflects our understanding of the consistent need our customers have to make the most of limited resources in an intensely competitive supply chain.”

Ergonomics

According to OSHA, 33% of all lost workdays are associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Hyster will highlight two award-winning designs that can help workers maintain an ergonomically sound operating position, staying focused and productive day after day. The two examples of Hyster ergonomics on display, the new cab design for Hyster®Big Trucks and the J50-60XNL, prioritize operator comfort and performance with features built to provide easier entry and exit, improved foot space and enhanced visibility.

Telemetry

When operations have more lift truck and operator data than they know what to do with, the challenge is breaking through the clutter to find targeted, actionable insights. Hyster will showcase real-time telemetry data and fleet management tools designed to do just that – fuel data-driven decisions to help optimize fleet efficiency, operator performance and safety compliance.

In addition to demonstrations, Hyster will offer personalized consultations at the company’s virtual booth throughout Promat DX. To register, visit dx.promatshow.com.

HYSTER has been building lift trucks for over 70 years. The HYSTER story began in 1929 in the North American Lumber industry, with the supply of logging winches. The name HYSTER came from the cries of the workmen-"hoist'er".

The company then began to look for ways to improve general materials handling, and in 1934 built their first piece of mobile lifting equipment called a "cranemobile" which would later become known as the "karry krane".

The first HYSTER lift truck was built in 1935 and by the end of 1940's, HYSTER lift trucks, of various types could be found on ports and docksides, and loading timber yards throughout the U.S.A. and other parts of the world.

In the 1950s, HYSTER established its European headquarter in England, and then built its forklift manufacturing plants in the Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland and Italy, as well as in Australia. In late 1950s, HYSTER invented "Monotrol Pedal Technology" which controls both directions and acceleration. This technology was one of the most advanced technologies and has been used in forklift industry till now. With the developing of its business, HYSTER has built 14 manufacturing plants all over the world with a 16% world market share.

HYSTER Company is the first U.S. lift truck manufacturer to receive ISO9002 registration. The Testing Center which was built in 1960s in Portland is the biggest and best equipped lift truck testing center in the world. Today customers consider the word "HYSTER" and "lift truck" to be synonymous. We, HYSTER China with such a proud heritage will strive hard to make sure that doesn't change.

Shanghai HYSTER has been active in China for many years. Our commitment to serving our customers has led us to make a major investment in China. A totally new, award winning manufacturing and servicing facility became operational in 1999. Besides manufacturing a range of HYSTER products at this facility, the national HYSTER distribution and service network is managed from this centrally situated facility which is located in the Pudong, Shanghai industrial zone.

HYSTER China Headquarter is located in Jinqiao, Pudong Shanghai. The plant was formally opened on April 8th, 1999 with a 26,379m2 facility and over 100 employees. It adopts latest DFT (Demand Flow Technology) in its manufacturing and management system for 2-3 ton diesel trucks followed by one new range of 1.5-2.5 ton electric truck.
