Hyster Company Launches New Line of AC-Powered OrderPickers

Series offers updated HySense Continuous Height Sensing technology

Hyster Company has launched a new series of AC-powered OrderPickers to meet customers’ demanding applications. The upgraded series, with lifting capacities of 1,500 to 3,000 lbs., includes a heavy duty counterbalanced R30XM3 with travel speeds up to 6.5 mph, standard duty counterbalanced R30XMS3, R30XMA3 straddle selector and R30XMF3 furniture selector.

“The series showcases our improved HySense Continuous Height Sensing control system,” said Jonathan Dawley, president of Hyster Distribution. “The updated HySense technology provides smooth, gradual linear speed reduction that is barely noticeable to operators. The result is a more refined braking action while traveling at extended heights, bolstering confidence and therefore productivity which is the bottom line for our customers’ business.”

Operator comfort, visibility and efficiency are necessary for maximized productivity. Hyster engineers ergonomically designed the operator’s compartment with a one-inch thick, shock-absorbent floor mat and a flush-mounted footswitch to minimize operator fatigue.

The series’ transparent, cantilevered grid-style overhead guard and widely spaced mast channels offer excellent visibility. In addition, the OrderPickers’ pallet clamp automatically centers and grips pallets to enable fast, easy picking – saving you time and money.

Hyster OrderPickers allow quick, easy access to the serviceable areas. The OrderPickers’ motor compartment offers uncluttered access and an optimized design. The R30XM3 and R30XMA3 offer AC drive and optional AC hoist, while the R30XMF3 and R30XMS3 include AC drive and DC hoist. Fewer parts equate to less required service, maximizing truck uptime while minimizing your cost of ownership.

Independent Study Ranks Hyster Company No. 1 in Total Cost of Ownership

In an independent survey conducted by Peerless Media Research Group, Hyster Company lift trucks ranked No. 1 in the United States in the category of total cost of ownership. Based on current U.S. customer ratings, Hyster Company led all full-line lift truck manufacturers.

“Being recognized by the marketplace as the lift truck provider with lowest total cost of operations is proof positive that Hyster Company delivers true value to its customers”, said Jonathan Dawley, President, Hyster Company Distribution.  “It is our constant interaction and involvement with our dealer network that allows us to blend smart products and services with a full line of tough, reliable, purpose-built lift trucks. At Hyster, we do one thing and one thing only: build the lowest operating cost lift trucks – period.”

Peerless Media Research Group conducted the study in July 2011. The study was conducted from amongst its Modern Materials Handling magazine subscriber base who are involved in the purchase process of lift trucks for their company.
