Hyster forklifts win two top product awards

Hyster Co., Greenville, N.C., has announced that two of its forklift models have been voted as top products of 2022 by readers of Material Handling Product News and MaterialHandling247.com. The J230-360XD36/48 was voted the year’s top lift truck and accessories product, while the H40-70A was elected the year’s best ergonomics and safety product.

Powered by a factory integrated lithium-ion battery, the J230-360XD36/48 offers lift capacities up to 36,000 lbs. for zero-emissions, heavy-duty operation. Features include a high-visibility cab with a color touchscreen, an ergonomically designed control arm, and an adjustable steering column.

The H40-70A is a 4,000- to 7,000-lb.-capacity forklift featuring the Dynamic Stability System, which uses sensors to monitor truck status continually. When it detects the truck exceeding designated stability thresholds, the system automatically limits truck speed and hydraulic function to minimize the risk of tipovers.
