Electric trucks
March 2010 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
Hyster reckons it is breaks new ground with its latest electric forklift, which provides 2.2 to 3.5 tonne lifting capacity with full-shift performance and energy efficiency.

It says the JXN also benefits from good manoeuvrability and tighter turning capability, delivered by the Hyster zero turning radius steer axle in which the rear wheels turn more than 90°, allowing the truck to turn within its own circle. The new models, which include 2.2, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 tonne counterbalanced forklifts for indoor and outdoor operations, are now available in the UK through Barloworld Handling.
