At Hyster, we recognize that each work environment and application requirement can be different. We have clients in a wide variety of industries which inspire us to offer a very diverse variety of materials handling product solutions. Regardless of what the environmental conditions are or what your industry is we have a machine to suit all your needs and get tasks completed efficiently. We have built trusting relationships between service, production and marketing teams so that we can guarantee you that each equipment is manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you would receive the ongoing support you require when you have a Hyster machine on your work site.

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

To begin with, Hyster performs a great deal of research concerning customer requirements in order to be certain that we know what our clients truly want. This research is then utilized to product design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design systems that help to lessen the risk of weak points and ensure that positioning of all components are optimal for both performance and servicing requirements. Afterward, prototypes are built in cooperation with specialists and professionals in ergonomics and compartment design. Every component and prototype is put through rigorous life cycle testing to find and correct any issues that could lessen the life of a machinery or a part to a less than optimal level. When a machinery comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be sure that it would work to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also performed so that we could gather more data on the performance of the machine and be confident that it will meet the standards required to finish the task.
