At Hyster, we recognize that every work environment and application requirement may differ. We have clients in a wide array of industries that inspire us to offer a really diverse range of materials handling product solutions. No matter what your business is or what the environmental conditions we have a machine to suit your requirements and get tasks done effectively. We have built trusting relationships between manufacturing, marketing, and service groups so that we could assure you that each machine is manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you would be given the ongoing support you require when you have a Hyster equipment on your work place.

From the initial concept and design to the manufacturing and selling of the equipment, every machinery that Hyster markets will go through a nine stage development process. Each stage of the development process has been established to guarantee product quality over the lifetime of the machine. Hyster testing centers can simulate the life cycle of a lift truck to ensure that the machine performs as designed and that it lasts.

To be certain that we know what all our clients truly want, Hyster performs a great deal of research about client requirements. All this research is then applied to the products design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design techniques which help to reduce the risk of weak points and make sure that positioning of all components are optimal for both service requirements and performance. Afterward, prototypes are built in cooperation with specialists and professionals in compartment design and ergonomics. Each 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 machine or a component to a less than optimal level. When a machine comes out of the testing stage of development, we would like to be sure that it will function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also done so that we can collect more information on the machine's performance and be confident that it will meet the standards required to finish the task.
