We have customers in a wide array of businesses that motivates us to offer a very diverse variety of materials handling product solutions.

We have established trusting relationships between service, manufacturing and marketing groups so that we can guarantee you that all machinery are manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you would be given the ongoing support you need when you have a Hyster equipment on your work site.

From the initial concept and design to the production and selling of the product, each and every machinery that Hyster markets will go through a nine stage development process. Each stage of the development process has been established to ensure product quality over the equipment's lifetime. Hyster testing centers could simulate the life cycle of a forklift in order to make sure that the machine lasts and that it performs as intended.

To start with, Hyster performs a great deal of research concerning customer needs in order to be sure that we know what all our clients truly want. This research is then applied to product design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design systems which help to reduce the risk of weak points and make sure that positioning of all components are optimal for both performance and servicing requirements. Prototypes are then made in cooperation with professionals and specialists in ergonomics and compartment design. Each and every component and prototype is put through thorough life cycle testing to find and correct any issues which could reduce the life of a machinery or a part to a less than optimal level. When a machine comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be sure that it will function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also carried out so that we can gather more data on the equipment's performance and be confident that it would meet the standards needed to finish the job.
