Hyster’s 2.0-3.5 tonne capacity lift trucks follows the successful introduction on the H4.0-5.5FT Cool Truck in 2015. It features an innovative
automatically reversing fan that significantly extends radiator cleaning intervals compared to a H2.0-3.5FT. By minimising radiator clogging caused by debris build up operations can increase productivity and maximise return on investment. “When operating standard
forklift trucks in the paper industry, the radiators can easily get clogged up, causing unnecessary downtime,” says David Reeve, industry manager for Counterbalance Solutions at Hyster. “This is not only frustrating, but it also costs businesses money in lost production, and can lead to other problems.
forklift truck design that helps extend run time, enhancing dependability in
applications worldwide,” Reeve says. “For example, we found that conventional trucks required engine compartment cleanouts much more frequently to prevent overheating.
“Chiselling loads out from tightly “The package is designed to
reduce the amount of debris entering the engine compartment and getting stuck on the transmission or in the radiator,” says Reeve, explaining that tilt and steer cylinder gaiters also minimise the risk of damage to cylinders from debris. Tough rubber guards over the drive axle also minimise ingress of paper under the floorplates. Venting on side panels helps to minimise the vacuuming effect of debris on the ground and a solid multi-piece belly pan under the
engine compartment reduces the amount of loose debris entering the underside of the truck. Based on the current Hyster H2.0-3.5FT range, with capacities from 2.0-3.5 tonnes, the Cool Truck is built for recycling centres or paper mills where there may be large areas full of recycled paper bales ready for pulping. A number of options are available to meet particular application needs. “To challenge the dependability of our system, we have conducted extended field trials in some of the harshest paper production
packed bales on a vehicle can also cause massive shock loadings to the attachment, mast rollers and carriage,” says Reeve, explaining that the risk in this instance is serious damage to transmissions and front-end equipment, whilst potentially overloading the forklift’s engine and cooling system. The Hyster Duramatch
transmission, with its Controlled Power Reversal, reduces shocks through the transmission and helps prolong tyre life, again adding to the dependability of these trucks. “The Cool Truck is designed to
keep going in tough paper and recycling applications, offering the reliability and durability that end users in these tough operations need from their equipment,” Reeve adds. More information from www.
hyster.eu. Forestry industry fuel additives cut carbon emissions
Carbon emissions generated by fossil-fuel consumption in trucks at the Ports of Stockholm will be cut by at least a quarter by the adoption of a new type of diesel. The new fuel, Preem Evolution Diesel, has a higher renewable content when compared to regular diesel, as it is mixed with hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) produced from forestry-industry

waste products. The switch to the new fuel will
reduce the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the consumption of fossil fuel at Ports of Stockholm by a minimum of 25 percent, or to around 150 tonnes annually. Ports of Stockholm’s trucks have
previously run on Preem ACP diesel, 95 percent of which is fossil- based diesel.
