New Cab And Engine For Largest Hyster Big Trucks

Hyster has launched the next evolution in its range of Container Handlers and 18+ tonnes capacity Lift Trucks, featuring new state of the art cabs and controls and Stage V compliant diesel engines.

The latest evolution to the Hyster Big Trucks range also sets new industry standards for operator cabins. The new cockpit-style cab across the Hyster 18 - 48 tonne lift truck series positions all truck information and controls at the driver’s fingertips.

To support accurate and efficient handling, Hyster Empty Container Handler drivers also benefit from a user-friendly digital performance 7” display. An optional second graphic display can also clearly show the status of spreader engagement and whether the container has a positive lock or not, as well as any limitations the operator should be aware of. This may speed up operations and reduce ‘mispicks’, enhancing productivity even in heavy-duty applications.

The new Hyster ReachStacker cabin includes a dual digital display with load weight and load moment information, as well as boom geometry, as standard. This helps support operators with suggested actions for maintaining stability and reducing load-centre.

For emissions regulated markets, the new Stage V engines will be introduced gradually, with Hyster Empty Container Handlers and Hyster RS46 ReachStackers among the first models to benefit, featuring either a 7.7 or 10.7 litre engine. The Stage V Hyster trucks also incorporate smart monitoring and service to optimise uptime in demanding applications.

To accommodate extreme duty applications, the transmission cooling capacity of the updated Empty Container Handlers and 18-32-tonne heavy duty forklifts has been increased significantly. The trucks also feature a hydraulically driven fan that helps reduce fuel consumption and noise levels. Reversing fans can be supplied by the Hyster Special Engineering Team if required.

The new truck engines will use a combination of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and DEF like AdBlue and a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF). Both after-treatment units are packed in one box positioned on the outside of the truck providing easy access and heat rejection. The ash cleaning interval is approximately 4500 hours depending on the application. The engines are equipped with cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), which minimises the creation of NOx, resulting in less AdBlue usage.
