Website design By BotEap.comThe Hyster DX range of forklifts emerged after the Hyster XM range of forklifts, from 1998 to 2006. The Hyster DX range of forklifts was succeeded by the Hyster TX range of forklifts.

Website design By BotEap.comThe Hyster 2.00 – H3.00 X – DX range of forklifts were manufactured at the NMHG Japanese plant and imported into the Australian market. Design-wise, they were a huge leap forward from the XM range.

Website design By BotEap.comHyster Forklifts’ goal with these trucks is to build a forklift that would outperform and outlast its nearest price competitor, which was Toyota’s 7-series range.

Website design By BotEap.comThe Hyster Parts Promise – This is where the tricks come in, they always had the Woolworth Promise for their parts, if you found a Hyster part elsewhere for cheaper they would beat it by 10%. All good to promise, I’m not really sure how often something like this would be used as its usually emergency failures make it easy to need most forklift parts.

Website design By BotEap.comSide Access Panels – Changed access to the engine compartment to include drop-down side panels and tilt-forward hoods, allowing greater access for the technician who had to service the forklift.

Website design By BotEap.comTabletop: The tabletop has been redesigned with a steel finish in mind, allowing for high wear and durability.

Website design By BotEap.comHyster has some unique features, with standard seat-side operator hydraulics, as well as monocontrol pedals, which allow steering and acceleration from a single pedal. A word to the wise: Single-control pedals take a bit of getting used to. We’re not really a fan of them, but when operators get used to it, they love it.
