At Hyster, we know that each and every application requirement and work environment can differ. We have customers in a wide variety of businesses that inspire us to provide a really diverse variety of materials handling product solutions. No matter what your business is or what the environmental conditions we have a machine to get tasks completed efficiently and suit your needs. We have built trusting relationships between marketing, service and production teams so that we could guarantee you that all machines are built to the highest quality standards and that you would be given the continuous support you need when you have a Hyster machinery on your work site.
From the initial concept and design to the manufacturing and sale of the product, every machinery that Hyster markets would go through a nine stage development process. Each and every stage of the development process has been created to guarantee product quality over the lifetime of the machine. Hyster testing centers are able to simulate the life cycle of a forklift to ensure that the equipment lasts and that it performs as intended.
In order to be sure that we know what our customers really want, Hyster performs a great deal of research regarding client requirements. All this research is then applied to the products design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design systems which help to lessen the risk of weak points and ensure that positioning of all parts are optimal for both performance and servicing requirements. Next, prototypes are made in cooperation with specialists and professionals in ergonomics and compartment design. Every component and prototype is put through rigorous life cycle testing to pick up on and correct any problems which could lessen the life of a component or a machine to a less than optimal level. When a machine comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be sure that it would function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also carried out so that we can collect more data on the machine's performance and be confident that it will meet the standards needed to get the task completed.
