At Hyster, we know that each work environment and application requirement could vary. We have clients in a huge variety of industries which motivates us to offer a very diverse variety of materials handling product solutions. No matter what your business is or what the environmental conditions we have a machine to suit all your requirements and get tasks completed effectively. We have built trusting relationships between promotion, service and production groups so that we can assure you that every equipment is manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you will receive the ongoing support you need when you have a Hyster machine on your work site.

From the preliminary concept and design to the production and sale of the equipment, each and every machine that Hyster markets would go through a nine stage development process. Each stage of the development process has been established to ensure product quality over the equipment's lifetime. Hyster testing centers can simulate the life cycle of a forklift in order to make sure that the equipment performs as designed and that it lasts.

To be certain that we know what all our customers truly want, Hyster performs a great deal of research about customer requirements. All this research is then used to the products design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design techniques that help to lessen the risk of weak points and ensure that positioning of all parts are optimal for both performance and servicing needs. Prototypes are then built in cooperation with specialists and professionals in compartment design and ergonomics. Each and every component and prototype is put through thorough life cycle testing to pick up on and correct any issues which can lessen the life of a part 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 will function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also carried out so that we could gather more data on the performance of the machinery and be confident that it will meet the standards needed to complete the job.
