MORE COMFORTING THOUGHTS ON THE HYSTER FORTENS™ H4.0-5.5FT.

Being showcased for the first time at this year’s International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX) in Birmingham will be the H4.0-5.5FT, the latest addition to Hyster’s successful Fortens range. Ergonomically advanced, this is a truck designed for heavier industrial applications such as the paper making, bottling or construction industries. Fitted with a choice of powerful diesel or LPG engines along with Hyster’s much praised DuramatchTM transmission, it will bring the benefits of the Fortens range to a new group of users.

Get improved efficiency

A characteristic of this new Fortens truck is a features set designed to improve truck, and operator, efficiency. The DuramatchTM transmission, for example, is electronically managed by the truck’s Pacesetter Vehicle System Manager (VSM). This not only governs the transmission functions, such as Controlled Power Reversal, which helps reduce tyre wear, servicing and maintenance requirements, but at the same time it makes the operation of the truck easy for the driver, allowing him to increase his productivity.
