New series of customizable lift trucks

New series of customizable lift trucks
The Hyster Fortis line of lift trucks represents a transformation in the way lift trucks are designed, built and acquired. Incorporating proven design processes and systems, each Fortis lift truck is offered with multiple powertrain configurations to meet specific application requirements and business objectives and to optimize productivity, dependability and cost of operations. The Fortis family of lift trucks, which covers a capacity range of 2,000 to 15,500 pounds, offers both cushion and pneumatic tire classes, with multiple engine choices consisting of gas, LP and diesel.

In head-to-head comparisons with similar trucks, the manufacturing and design advances of the Fortis series are shown to decrease downtime by up to 30 percent and save over $2,200 per year in operating costs. The Hyster electronically controlled powertrain, CANbus system industrial strength electronics, advanced cooling systems and reliable hydraulics all help to improve dependability and lower operating costs in all applications.

Drawing on Hyster Company's legacy of strength and durability, the Fortis concept simplifies lift truck purchases with a tiered system of preconfigured engine-transmission bundles. This allows users to choose from a variety of packages to maximize purchasing power and increase overall return on investment. With the choices of performance transmissions, hydraulic controls and cooling system options, the customizable Fortis lift trucks provide the highest quality of performance for almost any application.
