Hyster forklift truck drivers can now employ a 4 way joystick

Hyster has introduced a new 4-function, Joystick control option to the J1.60-2.00XMT ACX, three wheel, front wheel drive truck series, providing even more choice for customers and lift truck operators.

The Hyster J1.60-2.00XMT series made its debut in the market last year. Its superb ergonomics, exceptional AC performance and extended battery shift life, combined with the smallest aisle width of any truck in its class, have already made it a sure fire winner in the food and distribution industries.

Advanced ergonomics have played a major part in this success, providing the driver with a feeling of confidence and security in any application. The adjustable e-hydraulic armrest allows unprecedented handling comfort and can now be supplied with either the new Joystick option or mini-lever control to suit operator preferences or the needs of the application. Both systems provide the latest in effortless, fingertip control not only for lifting and lowering, mast forward or back tilt and side-shift functions but also of an additional attachment function such as a fork positioner or rotator.

The range of ergonomic features available on these trucks doesn't stop here. It includes demand sense steering; 'no-pause' direction changing; an automatic park brake; a fully adjustable, full suspension seat; multi-position adjustable tilt-steering

column; a clear LCD dash display with diagnostic functions; and the Hyster unique Monotrol direction control pedal. The dash display also allows the operator to choose from 4 pre-set performance parameters that will fine-tune the truck's performance to suit both his driving style and the application task.

Whilst the JXMT series has much to offer to the driver, there is plenty to attract the fleet manager too. Each JXMT model offers a high standard specification along with a range of performance options to allow customers to match the truck configuration to their application needs. There is a choice of wheelbase length and battery capacities, or a side battery extraction option for energy optimisation. So whether the operation is time critical or requires long shift patterns, Hyster's J1.60-2.00XMT ACX electric models offer the most reliable solution and the lowest cost of operation as well as being the lift truck driver's truck of choice.
