Fork Lift Trucks New Product Force
yster says its new E4-5.5XN electric fork lift truck series offers the same tough qualities as an internal
combustion (IC) fork lift truck, delivering brute strength for intensive work. “The acceleration, speed control and load lift capability provided by the new Hyster E4.0-5.5XN series matches the renowned high performance standards offered by Hyster IC trucks,” explains Matthew Allen, engineering manager, counterbalance product – Europe, NMHG. “These electric trucks provide the same durability and ‘brute strength’ as Hyster IC trucks.” Designed to be suitable for indoor storage and warehousing operations where space may be limited, Hyster says the compact E4.0-5.5XN trucks enable a higher storage density than equivalent competitor trucks. Offering 4-5.5 tonne lift capacity and

Providing a low total cost of ownership, the Hyster E4.0-5.5XN series has reduced maintenance requirements, minimised operating costs, and class-leading low energy consumption. The eLo performance setting reduces energy consumption in long intensive shifts whilst maintaining good performance, says Hyster. The HiP (high performance) setting offers higher productivity levels by increasing the top speed and acceleration compared to the prior model. With an increased top speed of 17kmh, this electric truck series can help to enhance productivity levels in demanding operations. Hyster claims it has more compact electric rider trucks of this capacity operating than any other manufacturer. The new XN model marries unrivalled capability and durability of the prior model to the ergonomic and performance benefits of the highly successful XN electric truck range.

seat side hydraulic levers or TouchPoint mini-levers. On-demand hydrostatic steering provides low-effort steering and superior control with reduced noise. Hyster believes it has produced a lighter, yet tough and durable, electric truck that can be operated by anybody. “Previously, more effort may have been required from the driver to operate this type of truck, but precise fingertip control of all hydraulic functions makes the E4-5.5XN fork lift truck light enough for men and women of any size or strength to operate,” adds Matthew Allen. “The machines provide the brute strength but it is not necessarily required from the operator.” Power-assisted braking reduces operator brake pedal efforts by 40%, extends brake life, and provides increased stopping power. An automatic parking brake from Hyster - it says not currently offered by any other manufacturer - is automatically applied when the truck is stationary and released when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The Vista mast with cast iron tilt cylinder rod ends and heavy-duty tilt anchors and heavier Class IV carriages on 4.5-5.5T models provide durability and impact resistance. Maintenance downtime is reduced thanks to onboard diagnostics, helping to reduce repair time and easy service access, via a two-piece floor plate and easily removable side plates. The lift-out floor plates require no tools, which also assists operators in completing daily checks. Battery access is significantly improved by a spring- assisted hood and quick release handle. “This”, says Matthew Allen, “is an unrivalled electric truck, designed for intensive work where space is at a premium.” n
