Hyster Co. offers its ZR Reach Truck. The truck features electric power steering, automatic drive-tire centering at key-on and automatic brake operation when the truck is stationary. It also offers multiple programmable vehicle modes for maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration and hydraulic ramping, the company reports. A thermal management system for motors and controls add protection from overheating. The dedicated auxiliary pump and motor greatly augments dependability of the main hydraulic motor. The truck also offers a fore/aft stance and side-stance compartments for operator positioning. The spacious compartment allows optimal operator positioning and easy entry and exit without awkward twisting. The low step height helps reduce fatigue and the suspended floor plate cushions the operator and helps reduce stress on the operator’s legs, all adding to improved operator comfort and productivity over a full shift.
